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

  • lifesaver when traveling with kids May 05, 2021

  • 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

  • We own at least 6 of these--dispersed between our 2 cars and other family members/caregivers cars. Small, compact, easy to use, great for travel. Mar 30, 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

  • Use this for our 7 year old. easy to use himself and take from car to car. Oct 18, 2017

  • Perfect to keep in car and to travel with Sep 15, 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
