BubbleBum Inflatable Travel Booster Seat – Rainbow

A full-size booster that fits in a backpack.

The BubbleBum inflatable travel booster seat lifts your child so the car's own lap and shoulder belt fits correctly. BubbleBum lists it for children ages 4 to 11, about 40 to 100 lb and up to 59 in tall, and says it meets the U.S. federal standard FMVSS 213 and the European standard ECE R44/04.

Blow a few breaths into the valve and it is ready in seconds. Let the air out and it rolls up to about 12 x 6 in and weighs about 1 lb, so it is easy to bring on flights, in taxis and rideshares, in rental cars and to grandparents' houses.

This listing is for one rainbow BubbleBum booster seat, with a bright rainbow-stripe cover, blue trim and red belt guides.

Key features

• Inflates in seconds: a nozzle-style valve fills the seat with a few breaths.
• Belt-positioning clips: two red side guides hold the lap belt low across your child's hips.
• Shoulder strap positioner: helps keep the shoulder belt away from the neck, for comfort.
• Memory foam inside: energy-absorbing foam within the air chamber adds structure and comfort.
• Narrow footprint: about 12 in wide inflated, so three car seats can often fit across a back seat.
• Stretchy carry bag: keeps the rolled-up seat together in a bag or carry-on.

Before you use it

A booster seat only works with a lap and shoulder belt. Never use it with a lap-only belt, such as an airplane seat belt. This is a backless booster, so the top of your child's ears must be below the top of the vehicle seat or head restraint.

Always ride in the back seat, keep the shoulder belt across the middle of the shoulder and chest (never under the arm or behind the back), and keep the lap belt low on the hips through both red guides. The seat must be used inflated. Read the instruction booklet that comes with the seat and follow the age, weight and height limits on its label. If your child still fits a harnessed car seat, child safety experts recommend keeping them in it.
