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 Stephen Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT for travel but not comfortable enough for regular seat

I wanted to give this 4.5 stars because it's PERFECT for travel and on-the-go but daughter said it wasn't comfortable for regular use. So I think it's a 5-star for it's likely intended purpose (travel, easy availability of a seat for carpools, etc.) but we wouldn't use it for everyday.We bought this to take along on vacation to use in Ubers/taxis. It was PERFECT for that - tiny/light enough to stash away in a backpack and really fast to whip out and install while luggage was being loaded into trunk. Practice with it first - you need to adjust the shoulder strap to the correct height for your child and that could be stressful if a driver is waiting for you! (It's easy but things are always stressful if someone is waiting and you're not sure what you're doing! After it's fitted you can just leave it at that height, no further adjustments needed.) The clips that hold the belt down on the sides have three widths they can slide out to. For our almost-five-year-old we found that just moving it to the first notch was good. The third was too far out (and dug into us as it was spread pretty far in the middle seat!) and leaving it all the way in was too tight. It's got a lot of room for growth and we'll get a ton out of this over the years for use as a quick seat and for travel. (We will certainly buy a second when our littler one is big enough for this! I'm glad they offer other colors now - that will make it easy to know which shoulder strap is the right height for which child.) We never had any problems with the latches staying in the position we moved them to - I read that in several reviews that they would just slide right back in but that hasn't happened to us at all.We did take this on a few trips in our truck before we left for our trip to be sure that we liked it and were quick with it. Daughter was THRILLED to try it out but after a few errands said that it was not comfortable. Plus they sit low on the seat and that's sort of a bummer for them since they can't really see out the windows. So this isn't an everyday seat but it's great for its intended use.Pros: Super small and light - I cannot stress enough how little space it took up in our carry-on backpack! Very quick and easy to use - I had no problems getting it set up in the back seat while husband and driver loaded luggage into the trunk. Cost is MORE THAN REASONABLE for what you're getting here. We saw a lot of booster seats being schlepped on the planes and cruise ship and man. that would be a bummer! This was a total bargain! I believe it now comes in multiple colors, which would be handy if you have more than one using this - that way the shoulder strap is already adjusted to the correct height for each kid and it's easy to know which seat belongs to which kid. An older child wouldn't have any problem setting this up and getting themselves strapped in - good for if parents are working with a little one or when older kids are carpooling - they won't really need help from the driving parent.Cons: Not super comfortable for longer trips or everyday use. When the belt positioners were all the way out they dug into our legs (Mifold was in the middle, adults on each side) in a smaller backseat. This could be an issue in any small backseat and any booster!)
