Whilst the boys are old enough to just have a booster seat (such as the mifold Comfort that we use for backpacking), we prefer a car seat with a head rest as the passenger seat they sit on doesn’t have one. This booster earned the lowest chest sensor score (g) and one of the lowest head sensor score (HIC). We knew they didn’t provide as much in the way of safety for the girls but it was the best we could do. The Mifold seats are also really easy to use; you simply unwind the shoulder belt strap; which allows you to open the seat.

We like that the shoulder belt positioning strap quickly clips around the seat belt for a secure fit and is easily adjustable. While we originally thought the hifold would feature only when travelling, it seems to have become an everyday staple in our car because the kids find it so comfortable. A child who can’t see out now and again or a big booster seat that you rarely use and which isn’t easy enough to simply pop in their back packs for a time needed or take on an aeroplane for holidays.The mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat is a revolutionary product and will make car travel with children of booster seat age much easier! Even then we chose a high backed one with a five point harness which she will wear until she reaches the maximum weight for it (my kids are tiny so probably not for ages) and I will do the same for Jimmy in about a year or so when he outgrows the second stage seat he’s in now. I will say, I personally wouldn’t use it in replacement as a normal carseat, but this would definitly work for travel, in emergency situations, or a quick fix if grandma is picking up.

All three boosters they traveled with were able to fit in their carry-on luggage and, when it was time to hop into a car, all three lined up easily in the back of a sedan. Plus, if you don't need it all the time, you can fold it up and make space on your seat for something else, like grocery bags, for the times you don't need to use it. The Hifold booster is adjustable in 4 key areas – head height and width, shoulder width and seat width. Sadly my oldest will very soon grow out of it, she is only just under the height restriction in the photo above.

There has been widespread coverage in the media about proposed changes to the European regulations for child car safety seats, including those in the UK. In the case of the mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat, this is for children aged four years old and above who weigh between 15kg and 36kg. The mifold range of grab-and-go backless boosters General How does it work/compare to a regular booster? The Mifold can be used for children aged 4-12 years, or 15-36kg, but it is a question of what age you want to use it. Plus, measuring only 24 x 23 x 2cm when folded, mifold fits easily into luggage or a handbag without taking up too much space.
