Cheeky Rascals recently sent us this BubbleBum inflatable booster seat to try out for Betty (four year old).
This seat was invented by a mum called Grainne Kelly who had to travel a lot to see family and got frustrated about the difficulty in carrying bulky booster seats or hiring decent ones.
It came at an apt time because Betty and I will be going to London soon on the train for a few days and I was worried about what I was going to do about a car seat while we were there - problem solved! It is easy to inflate and Betty has been showing it to anyone and everyone who enters our house. For occasional use, I think it is great, and it folds up very neatly, taking up hardly any space at all.
This is what Cheeky Rascals say:
It is safety approved for groups 2 and 3 (age 4 +) and is great for taking on holidays, car sharing, playdates, rental cars, relatives and generally just to have as a spare car seat in the car for when you need to pick up an extra child. It is deflatable and folds flat to put in your bag (or the child’s bag) or just to store. It’s also great at fitting 3 kids across the backseat of a car.
It has passed all the relevant safety tests and crash tests both inflated and completely deflated. The key point about booster seats is not actually the boost (that just makes the child more comfortable) it is where the seatbelt goes across their lap, the seat belt guides on the BubbleBum ensure that the seatbelt sits over the child’s lap and not their stomach which helps to avoid nasty internal injuries in the event of a crash.
