Review on Mifold Comfort Grab-And-Go Car Booster Seat - Thicker Cushion For Everyday, Carpooling, And Travel In Ocean Blue by Non Dollarz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

a "Booster seat "?! Nahhhh.

My issue with this product has more to do with the product description than the product itself.The idea of it is awesome, however the reality of it not so much. When I got it in hand, i found it difficult to imagine how this was AS effective as the traditional booster seat we have. Turns out after some research it is not. Maybe by the industry definition of a BOOSTER SEAT this product can be labelled as one, however in reality, it is actually a SEAT BELT EXTENDER. The difference is that a true booster LIFTS a child (that is has a certain weight and/or height) up so that in case of an accident the seat belt works as intended and keeps the child from flying forward (The key placement is the belt around the WAIST). A Seat belt extender manipulates the physical seat belt (as opposed to "lifting" the child to the belt) to allow for it to be placed across the waist. Make no mistake, seat belt extension CAN AND DO work for folks. when used properly (around the waist, not across the upper thigh). From what I've read it is very easy and not uncommon for folks to use it incorrectly (apparently like many car seat set ups). In my opinion calling this a booster seat is deceptive. If you are diligent and portability is top priority, this may be for you. If surety/safety, ease of use then portability is what you're looking for I'd suggest a TRADITIONAL booster seat.

Pros
  • Can be used with or without the lap belt guide
Cons
  • The Mifold Comfort Grab-And-Go Car Booster Seat may not fit under certain seat belts
