Product Information

As with all of the innovative, travel-specific gadgets on the market today, the hifold is meant for a specific niche. It’s not going to be the right product for every family, and that’s ok. If possible, try to buy your car seat from a retailer with a fitting service and trained fitters. You may be able to phone up and make an appointment. The store should also be able to take the seat out to your car after you've bought it and fit it properly there. Our guide on how to fit a baby or child car seat has more details. The Urban Kanga is only 3 kg urbankanga.com/en/car-seats/ and doesn't require isofix, but goes only up to 4 years We also found that the red shoulder belt guide is quite narrow, so it takes a bit more effort to pull and lengthen the belt through it when fastening.

You say you're not clear about the advantages of a Peg-Perego over a traditional booster. I was thinking weight (at 6.7 kg it's not a feather but ordinary boosters can be heavier) and bulk, because it folds kind of flat and is easier to carry around. We have taken a few flights with an ordinary car seat in a huge shoulder bag - not fun, with the car seat that you can't place on top of the suitcase trolley, and which keeps swinging from your shoulder.

Kids who are big enough to get a good seat belt fit with both will need to decide whether they want to carry around the extra size of the RightGuide or be content with the smaller seating area of the mifold comfort. Either way, parents can rejoice that these kiddos are old enough to carry their own booster seats! The Peg-Perego Viaggio 2-3 flex uk.pegperego.com/store/peguk/en_GB/car-seats/all-car-seats/viaggio-2-3-flex/p/IMVF000035DX13DX79 does not fold as small but seem sturdier. 6.7 kg, requires isofix The Nachfolger is expensive, and I can imagine inflating it would be quite a faff while a taxi driver is waiting. The seat has a belt positioner, similar in design to the crotch strap you'd get on a three- or five-point harness, and it's designed to help position the seatbelt across the hip bones and ensure that the delicate abdominal area is protected in a crash.

i-Size/R129 seats are based on a child's height (instead of weight). The new seats don't replace the weight-based seats at the moment, they just give you an alternative. If you’re shopping for a 3-5 year old, you’re probably also considering the Ride Safer Travel Vest ( full review here). The Ride Safer has the advantage that the top tether keeps even wiggly/sleepy kids from bending or slouching out of place. The vest is also a fraction of the size. One small change is the presence of those little gray triangles. They’re intended to decrease slipping on the seat when your child gets in though they were inadequate for my kids’ testing.First, unwind the shoulder belt adjuster strap that’s used to keep mifold folded. That will allow mifold to flop open as it needs to be for your child to sit on it. A decade ago when parents of school-age children went on vacation, they generally left the booster seats at home. Some of them knew it wasn’t safe and preferred convenience, while others didn’t even realize the danger of using an adult seatbelt alone. Booster seats have come a long way since then, and there’s now a huge universe of portable booster car seats to keep kids safe while traveling light. While I haven’t done a deep dive into the hifold schematics, I suspect that narrowing the focus to 5-8 year old sizes could allow the designers to drop some weight (and maybe even a little size when folded). That would make the hifold more practical for travel and also give parents a more realistic impression of the useful lifespan. Conclusion: Is the hifold worth buying?
