what parents are saying
It’s OKAY. It does the trick, but we’ve found to only use it in case of emergency and we aren’t able to bring boosters. (Mar 29, 2023)

Why weeLove mifold:
It’s a milestone for parents when little ones grow out of large, bulky car seats. (No one misses cleaning out the black hole of cracker crumbs.) When your big kid is ready for a big kid seat, there’s a new booster on the scene… and it’s small enough to fit in your bag.
Mifold is a compact, portable child car safety seat that’s more than 10x smaller than the typical booster seat. Made with super durable plastic polymers and aircraft grade aluminum, it’s designed to protect kiddos from age 4-12. While traditional boosters raise kids higher up (to the positioning of a grown-up), mifold meets the highest regulatory safety standards to hold the seatbelt down where your child naturally sits. Bonus: it’s so easy to keep clean, you can even pop it in the dishwasher.
At an affordable price (under 50 bucks!), there’s no need to move booster seats from car to car. Get one for grandma, bring one along when you’re traveling (we love having it in cabs and rental cars), and store an extra in your glove compartment for carpooling.
Tiny but mighty, Mifold is an on-the-go essential designed to make life simpler and safer.

Absolutely yes. Buy this if you travel a lot. Dec 22, 2023

It sounds like it’s designed to be used as a travel seat but it’s horrible fitting on almost every child! I wouldn’t trust my child to use it without me there, and it still doesn’t have the best fit. Sep 15, 2023

Love the portability of this! It is challenging for kids to use without adult help. Its annoying to take in and out unlike regular low-back boosters that are easy to buckle. Aug 01, 2023

Very complicated and smaller children don’t really work with it. Jun 30, 2023

Great travel item, so you do not need to lug a booster seat around. A little concerned over how safe it was to use. Apr 23, 2023

Very small so didn’t work good for my son that had a wide booty. Apr 01, 2021

I wanted to love this, but kids seem to get trapped once it’s buckled and it takes a lot of work to get them out. It’s not something that a child can use independently without a lot of practice Dec 02, 2020

It's great for "in a pinch" in the city taxi but it does not allow the seat belt to lay on the hips and is always on the thighs which will be dangerous on impact. Oct 17, 2020

Bought this for our 6 year old! Used it as we traveled Europe. It’s easy to put in and he never complained! Great safe alternative to the big bulky ones Apr 23, 2020

My son (10) just couldn't get a comfortable fit and didn't "feel safe" in the mi-fold. That's not to say that it's not safe, he just didn't like how it felt and he refused to use it. Jan 24, 2020

Folds up tiny to fit in a backpack. Great for travel to new cities when renting a car or taking Uber. Jun 12, 2019

Great for travel and children that will use it correctly. I bought 2 to get all 3 kids in 1 row when we traveled to another state and needed a rental car. Apr 20, 2019

this carseat basically brings down the car's seatbelt to the proper height for the child. doesn't provide any side impact protection in case of a carseat. good for travel Apr 17, 2019

So portable and lightweight! We use it when we are transporting friends and for travel so we don't have to lug heavy car seats! Apr 05, 2019

This booster has made travel so much easier for us. OUr five year sets the whole thing up himself and I can even fit it in my purse. I love it! Mar 26, 2019

We have 6 kids, plus a nephew that travels with us frequently. We keep one in each car for extrakids or to send with our kids. They are subtle for those that feel too old for a booster but still need Feb 06, 2019

This car seat is a must if you have a small vehicle or lots of kids. They are easy to adjust and they are so convenient since they are small. It is easy to store an extra one anywhere in the vehicle. Oct 11, 2018
Handy seat to have as a back up or for travel. I'm able to get three across in my 3rd row or my husband's car using this seat. I would not recommend for daily use. Definite learning curve to use. Jul 11, 2018

This fits very few children properly. I tried it on 6 different kids and it wasn't right on any of them. So dangerous. Get a Bubblebum instead. I returned this. Feb 19, 2018

For temporary/periodic/travel use, it's awesome. As a replacement seat instead of a booster, I'm not impressed. The "seat" part tends to slide off (up the back), but it works in a pinch. Jan 07, 2018

It is very different from the regular booster seat we have, as typical booster seats lift the child into a safe seat belt position, whereas this one brings the seat belt down to a safe position. Oct 22, 2017

Ease of use. My daughter loves this more than traditional booster. Portable on trips. Cost is a little expensive May 15, 2017

I love that it is compact and light so that we can use during our travels. It is probably not for everyday use, but can be. The only thing that could be frustrating is the unhooking of the strap. Nov 15, 2016

This is such a great travel product! We have used it multiple times in friend's cars or while traveling around in rentals or something without a car seat. Such a great space saver, too! Mar 24, 2021

If you have kids and you travel you need this 100% It's tiny and light and works for bigger kids especially if yo will be using Uber or Lyft etc. Gamechanger Jan 01, 2020

This booster is fantastic for children who will use it properly. It is small and perfect for travel or sleepovers, but requires the child to properly install and sit with the belt positioned. Mar 29, 2019

I absolutely prefer the bulkier booster. This does position the belt but it doesn't weigh enough or is large enough to seem safe. Not much better than no seat at all. Mar 22, 2019

We love the mifold for its small size, but find it hard to get a good fit every time. Its an amazing option though for having a small seat when we otherwise wouldn't have anything else. Mar 20, 2019

This worked well for vacation but was a little tricky for my 7 year old to buckle herself. Nice and compact, easy to set up but would be nice if it did not fold and was just flat. Aug 04, 2018
- Crystal B.

I like the concept and purchased to get all three of my kids in the same row. This product needs refining - the bottom of product needs non-skid finish and the extender tabs need to lock. Kept as BU May 30, 2018

A lifesaver for older kids when traveling. Small enough that they can carry in their backpacks! Oct 05, 2017
