![]() The cover is mesh, so if your kid throws up, you might need a soft toothbrush to clean that out. How easy is it to clean? The cover does not come off, so you must wash it with a cloth or sponge and some mild detergent, like any other cover, and let it air dry. So considering that the BB rolls up into a bag and weighs 1 lb., no kid had better be complaining about carrying that around an airport! Which would you rather take? My other favorite traveling booster, the Harmony Literider, weighs 2 lbs. I was even considering having my in-laws, who are in Europe traveling, pick one up for me (Shhhhhh! But seriously, we’ll be in Europe using it, so it’d be legal!). The thought of not having to store a booster, even a small “hard” backless, really takes a load off my mind (and my luggage count). We haven’t had any vacations yet, though we have one planned. It does still require an adult to finish off blowing air into the valve to fully inflate the booster, but the majority of the work will be done for you in less than a minute. it blew itself back up again! It has one of those camping mattress-style valves on it that automatically sucks in air to help with inflation. As a parent/caregiver, you will have to watch your child and make sure she doesn’t slump down in the seat to get more comfortable and in turn, cause the lap belt to ride up on her abdomen.Ī funny thing happened on my way to deflating it. But remember, there’s not a lot of thigh support, so a smaller child’s legs are going to stick straight out on the vehicle seat. In the world of booster seats, it’s tiny. Is it a viable option for the dreaded 3-across? Of course. Is it comfortable? It’s like sitting on air, lol. It’s definitely not as easy as a regular belt positioning booster with arms where the seatbelt just slides under, but it’s only a few extra seconds, not minutes. I still futz with them, but I need to remember to let her do them, lol. Is it easy to use on a daily basis? At first, my dd found the red lap belt guides daunting but as you saw in the video, after a few times of using them, she’s now a pro. Who uses it: kids at least age 4 and who weigh between 40 and 80 lbs. And now you know.Ĭomes with: booster, shoulder belt positioner, bag But if that’s my only nitpick, that may not be so bad! It’s something you need to be aware of before your child uses the booster for an extended amount of time. ![]() It’s great in that it provides a means of easy portability, one of the Bubble Bum’s greatest strengths however, on a long car ride over several hours, it’s not going to provide the kind of thigh support that will keep a smaller kid from slouching to bend her knees over the edge of the vehicle seat. But is it easy to use on daily trips or is it best left for traveling?Īs you can see in the video and pictures, the Bubble Bum (not to be called Bubble Gum, which is a quick slip of the tongue, trust me) has a small seating surface. The Bubble Bum, which has caught the world’s attention for its size and portability, positions the lap portion of the seatbelt low on the child’s thighs.

Don’t be fooled by this sporty little bopper of a cushion that looks like it might be more at home on a boat than under your child’s bum in your vehicle.
