Review on Mifold Grab-And-Go Car Booster Seat, Denim Blue - Compact & Portable For Travel, Carpooling And More - Foldable Child Booster Fits Into Glove Box & Backpack by John Arrow

Every once in a while, someone comes up with a huge improvement over existing technology.This promises to be one of those times.Car seats have saved countless lives over the past few decades, and parents can't imagine driving their precious cargo without that protection. Car seats today are much improved over the original models, but there are still improvements being made.This product is VERY different from anything you picture when you think of a car seat.I've attached a photo of the Mifold so you can get an idea of the size. This is when it's closed. It is about as large, and as heavy, as a small purse or wallet. In fact, if you carry a generously sized purse, you can drop it in and still have lots of room for everything else.The seat unfolds--hence the name--and the two seat guides are pulled out to the appropriate width of the kid's hips. This can range from four year olds to pre-teens, even adults.The strap is placed behind the rider and the seatbelt guide clips to the shoulder belt. Not hard to figure out once you understand the concept.This is a great option for kids who don't want to use a "baby seat" any longer, and it gives parents so much more flexibility. Imagine telling little Timmy or Tammy to stow this in the book bag because Grandma will be picking up the kid after school. And Grandma doesn't have to dedicate part of her back seat to a bulky car seat.One thing I would caution about: Keep the paperwork with you, in the glove box. This is so low-profile, and so new, you may get cited for not haiving your kid in the proper restraint system. This, though, IS compliant with safety regulations, and constructed with aircraft-grade materials.Also, Mifold is available in a variety of colors, which is a nice touch!I wish this company the best of luck in changing the lives of lots of families!
