mifold encourages caregivers to use the most protective car seat available that is suitable to the child, the circumstances and the vehicle being used. mifold has revised its recommendations based upon an analysis of vehicle seat belt system testing results. It means you know your car seat doesn’t get bashed about by luggage handlers, and you always have it to hand. 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.

Overall this would be perfect for traveling, car rentals, if you have multiple kids in carseats 3 in a row, carpooling, or for grandparents house. The mifold Comfort seat cushion is 3x thicker than that of mifold Original making it more suitable for long journeys and everyday use than the previous version of mifold. The mifold is a variation of the traditional booster seat that folds up very small and is easy to transport for travel or move for carpooling.

Recently Good Egg Safety in the UK reported that a shocking 34% of 8 to 11-year olds are not using a booster seat on car journeys, when one is required. When it comes to travelling in our Mazda Bongo, I am obsessed with collapsible camping gear for saving space.

This booster earned the lowest chest sensor score (g) and one of the lowest head sensor score (HIC).Our son is 8 and 46 pounds and within the recommended age and weight range for the Mifold, but for him and others the belt slung lower on the hips than is recommended by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for booster seats. Sadly my oldest will very soon grow out of it, she is only just under the height restriction in the photo above. Once it is extended you can also change the size in 4 areas – the bottom, the middle, the head rest, and also the back (to make it taller or shorter). A third clip on the strap pulls the seatbelt chest strap down correctly onto the bones of the shoulder, away from the child’s face and neck. 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.

We’ve travelled to such a variety of countries, some with great road safety and others known for regular car crashes… eek! I recorded a video for my Instagram stories showing me setting it up and I think it took me less than 40 seconds to demonstrate it! The Hifold (from Mifold) is a gamechanger for travelling and campervanning families as it’s so compact! However, the MiFold Booster seat is a solution for those types of journeys yet it is smaller than an ipad when folded up and can fit in the glove compartment or even in the child’s bag if they’re at school and being picked up by someone else. The Hifold is designed for use exclusively in cars that have a lap and shoulder belt seat belt system.It took a few tries but, once we got the hang of things, installing the Mifold booster was a piece of cake. oz, which is lighter than what Ezra weighed when he was born (yes, he was a BIG baby, but my point is that it is very light considering it’s a folding car seat). The belt guides on either side of the child’s hips are adjustable to three sizes to make sure the seatbelt is always held snugly in place. mifold has been regularly crash tested successfully in certified facilities around the world and meets or exceed the ECE R44.
