Describe your products in 3 words.

compact, safe, portable

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

In 2001, I had a vision to create a child car safety seat that was so compact and portable that my children could keep one with them all the time and be safe, no matter whose car they were in. This vision came from my own need. Our children were often in other people’s cars without safety seats: especially when we were carpooling with local families for the school run. Fast forward a few years and we are now delighted that other parents and caregivers are benefiting from the invention.

What makes your product special?

mifold is the leader in the new ultra-compact car seat category. We have disrupted the market with an innovative and unique product enabling children to be safe in every car, on every journey, every time.

What has been the best part of your experience?

The most rewarding moments come when children, parents and other caregivers tells how much the love and appreciate mifold. Today, hundreds of thousands of children are riding more safely in cars than before they received their mifold grab-and-go booster seat. The best part of the experience is working with such a wonderful, motivated and dedicated team. The mifold employees, our industrial designers, mechanical engineers, material scientists, manufacturing partners, supply chain and logistic experts and sales people, retailers and distributors, are all focused on the same vision. The knowledge that together we are improving the safety of children in cars, and can help reduce the number of injuries and deaths worldwide, is wonderful. This is why we all come to work in the morning.

Product Description

Looking for an on the go booster that won’t take up too much room? mifold the grab-and-go car booster is the ideal choice. mifold is the world’s most compact and portable booster seat. It is designed for kids 4 and up, 40 to 100 lbs, and 40 to 57 inches tall. This grab and go car seat is more than 10x smaller than a regular booster seat and just as safe. mifold foldable booster seat folds down to fit into a child’s backpack, glove box or a parent’s hand bag, making it perfect for carpooling, travel , for car sharing rides and much more.

With a booster seat for car this convenient, there’s no reason a child should not be restrained safely on every single car ride! mifold is safety tested and meets or exceeds NHTSA standard FMVSS 213 in the USA.* mifold foldable booster seat works in the exact opposite way to a traditional child booster seat. Instead of lifting the child up, mifold brings the seatbelt down. It does this at three points: there are belt guides on either side of the child's hips, to hold the lap belt correctly against the bones and off the soft stomach. These belt guides are adjustable to three sizes to make sure that the belt is always held snugly in place. There is a third clip on a strap that pulls the seatbelt chest strap down correctly onto the bones of the shoulder; away from the face and neck. So like a regular booster seat for kids, mifold holds the seat belt in exactly the correct position on the bones of the hips and the bones of the shoulder, without needing a big, bulky seat to lift the child. In a collision, the child is protected in the same way. mifold simply works to hold the adult seatbelt correctly on a child."

Works as advertised but I'm not impressed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I purchased this for my kid because we were going on a long trip. I have family members who use this product all the time and rave about how wonderful it is. I was not impress and don't see myself using it much in the future.

Pros:
-Works as advertised
-Affordable
-It is light, compact, and easily fits into a backpack or purse.
-It places the seat belt straps in the same places they would be in a high back booster.

Cons
- Not comfortable! Be prepared for constant complaining about how they feel like they are sitting on a rock or how the back strap fell down off their shoulder.
-Unless your child has a chill personality, voluntarily holds still for car rides, and can maintain good posture, I can't see how this could be safe. Very quickly into our drive, my kid had scooted forward, the product had moved too and the lap belt was around their waist! A very shifty product!
-My kid would also quickly wiggle enough to dislodge the strap that holds the cross body belt in place. No good.

Some people said they liked blow- up boosters or other small and portable carseats to this product. I would not recommend this as a quick, easy, comfortable, or enjoyable product but it could be nice to have in a pinch.

PERFECT for travel but not comfortable enough for regular seat

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I wanted to give this 4.5 stars because it's PERFECT for travel and on-the-go but daughter said it wasn't comfortable for regular use. So I think it's a 5-star for it's likely intended purpose (travel, easy availability of a seat for carpools, etc.) but we wouldn't use it for everyday.

We bought this to take along on vacation to use in Ubers/taxis. It was PERFECT for that - tiny/light enough to stash away in a backpack and really fast to whip out and install while luggage was being loaded into trunk. Practice with it first - you need to adjust the shoulder strap to the correct height for your child and that could be stressful if a driver is waiting for you! (It's easy but things are always stressful if someone is waiting and you're not sure what you're doing! After it's fitted you can just leave it at that height, no further adjustments needed.) The clips that hold the belt down on the sides have three widths they can slide out to. For our almost-five-year-old we found that just moving it to the first notch was good. The third was too far out (and dug into us as it was spread pretty far in the middle seat!) and leaving it all the way in was too tight. It's got a lot of room for growth and we'll get a ton out of this over the years for use as a quick seat and for travel. (We will certainly buy a second when our littler one is big enough for this! I'm glad they offer other colors now - that will make it easy to know which shoulder strap is the right height for which child.) We never had any problems with the latches staying in the position we moved them to - I read that in several reviews that they would just slide right back in but that hasn't happened to us at all.

We did take this on a few trips in our truck before we left for our trip to be sure that we liked it and were quick with it. Daughter was THRILLED to try it out but after a few errands said that it was not comfortable. Plus they sit low on the seat and that's sort of a bummer for them since they can't really see out the windows. So this isn't an everyday seat but it's great for its intended use.

Pros:
~ Super small and light - I cannot stress enough how little space it took up in our carry-on backpack!!!
~ Very quick and easy to use - I had no problems getting it set up in the back seat while husband and driver loaded luggage into the trunk.
~ Cost is MORE THAN REASONABLE for what you're getting here. We saw a lot of booster seats being schlepped on the planes and cruise ship and man... that would be a bummer! This was a total bargain!!!
~ I believe it now comes in multiple colors, which would be handy if you have more than one using this - that way the shoulder strap is already adjusted to the correct height for each kid and it's easy to know which seat belongs to which kid.
~ An older child wouldn't have any problem setting this up and getting themselves strapped in - good for if parents are working with a little one or when older kids are carpooling - they won't really need help from the driving parent.

Cons:
~ Not super comfortable for longer trips or everyday use.
~ When the belt positioners were all the way out they dug into our legs (Mifold was in the middle, adults on each side) in a smaller backseat. This could be an issue in any small backseat and any booster!)

Great die travel, but uncomfortable

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

My kids hate this. I loved it for travel because I could put it in my carry on (it’s so small) and easily get it out for our rental car while traveling. But my kids say it’s super uncomfortable. It’s very hard so their tailbone rubs right against the hard plastic.

Even the kids love it!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this car seat as a gift for my brother in the US (I'd seen it on Indiegogo and thought it was a really clever idea). They got it last week when I was visiting and this is what they told me - "this is just about the smartest thing you could have got us." They have two kids aged 8 and 6 and they car share a lot to take their kids to school. That's why I thought it would be good for them. And also because when I'm staying with them, I can't fit in the back of the car with their two kids and their old car seats!
Now I've seen it and tried it out I really think it's great. And so do they. It's just so small but it seems to work well. It's about the size of large paperback book that folds out to create a flat seat about a quarter of an inch thick. It has guides on the sides that hold the seat belt in the right position over the hips and a strap that goes up the back of the child to hold it in place over the shoulder. Other reviewers have said it's not that comfortable. However that's not our experience at all. I was worried my niece would find it hard to sit on as although there's some padding on it, it's not especially soft. But she doesn't have a problem with it. It seems to sink into the seat a little so is quite comfortable for her.
It's different to a normal car seat and so it does take some getting used to (how to clip the belt in, how to set it up). But once you get it, it's fine. of course the kids seem to get it faster than the adults!
I was pleasantly surprised by how heavy it is. It's more than just a little piece of plastic and it does seem to be high quality.
But it's the size that makes it so different. The mifold website says you can fit three in a row in the back of a normal car and I can see that happening. It really is that small. As an adult I can fit in the back with the two kids really easily too. And my brother will store it in the pocket of the driver seat when not using it - no big clumsy polystyrene seats cluttering up the car (he's a bit of a neat freak).
It's not perfect however. The red belt guides need to be released with a little lever to pull them out but are pushed back in too easily. This should be changed as the position of the belt can move as a result (although not so it affects the child). And the instruction manual has its own little slot (which is great to have always to hand) but it's not so easy to get it in or out. But these are minor issues really.
It's called portable and it really is. It will fit into a handbag or kids back pack really easily and you can take it anywhere. It's just a great concept and a a great product.
The best review comes from my 6 year old niece who says she loves it. She says she feels like a big girl now! She will take it with her to school in her bag so she's always got a car seat when she's taken home by someone else. And she'll use it too, which I guess is the whole point. When will this be available on UK Amazon???

Small but cumnbersome installation

We bought this booster seat for use with Grab in Singapore. It is small and easy to take with you. But installation takes some time. Especially when the driver already took of. If you need something small, this is the thing for you.

Cómodo para transportar

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on August 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Es un asiento rígido para el niño, pero cuando uno viaja y no puede transportar el asiento de seguridad habitual, este asiento cabe en la maleta o bolsa de mano. Al llegar a algunos aeropuertos, los taxis no aceptan llevar a niños que no tengan asientos de seguridad, y éste cumple el objetivo. Es incómodo para el niño en traslados largos, pero saca de apuros cuando uno necesita tomar un taxi o usar algún otro vehículo en trayectos cortos. Se fija con el cinturón de seguridad y se ajusta a la altura del niño con mucha facilidad.

El producto funciona bien, baja los cinturones de seguridad para amoldarse al tamaño del niño, pero tengan en consideracion que me parece que es para salir de viaje, en donde no se lleva coche propio y se requiere transportar el booster, el lado acojinado donde se sienta el niño no es muy blando, y despues de un buen rato cansa al niño, no lo recomiendo para uso cotidiano

Estaba muy entusiasmada por este producto, pues quería deshacerme de la silla enorme que traigo en el auto, pero este boster no es nada comodo, si el niño se mueve un poco se mueve hacia atrás de la espalda y para un niño mas llenito noble durará mucho, pues los brazos que se abren no te da mucho rango... definitivamente después de los 7-8 años no se puede seguir usando, te saca del apuro pero no es lo que promete. Regrese a la silla común 😕

Está práctico, muy compacto pero algo pesado para llevarlo en la bolsa. El plástico de la cubierta se resbala y cuando el niño se sube se recorre. La superficie del asiento es realmente pequeña. Es una buena idea pero mal ejecutada.
