Ever had a situation where an extra car seat is really needed? For instance maybe your child is being picked up from school by their grandparents that don’t have a booster seat. For those that use booster seats for their children, there is the BubbleBum Car Booster Seat that you might want to have to keep handy.
The BubbleBum is a portable and lightweight inflatable car booster seat for children aged between 4-11. This car booster seat easily deflates and folds flat so that kids or mom and dad can carry it in a backpack or purse, making it perfect for vacations, rental cars, taxis, school pick up or car pooling.
The BubbleBum Car Booster seat weighs less than half a pound which makes it perfect for stuffing in a backpack. You use your mouth to inflate the seat which takes about 20 seconds or less. Once you are done using it, you deflate the seat and then fold it back up and pack it away.
Make sure when using this seat that you are using it the right way. Don’t forget to put the seat belt in the red clips to make sure your child is belted properly. The seat belt placement is very important when protecting your child when driving. Make sure that the belt is over their hips and not their stomach area.
We have the purple BubbleBum seat but it is also available in black and NEON pink and NEON yellow. I wish they would came in red or blue!
Worried about safety?
BubbleBum has used technology to create stability in the inflatable section. The inflatable bladder is made of a similar durable material as life rafts (not like a beachball) and the seat cover and webbing form an integral part of the structural integrity of the product.

This looks like a great product. I love that it is compact and portable. I might have to get one for my youngest son when he is a bit older for our second car. We only have one car seat and have to move it back and forth if we happen to switch cars for whatever reason. It is a royal pain. He isn’t quite ready for a booster seat. 🙂
Courtney says
Does it have safety ratings? Weight limits? I am kind of a car seat freak (my 60 lb 7.5 year old is still in a Britax Frontier because he’s well within the weight and height limits and it’s safer) – but love the concept. I have a couple of Graco backless boosters in my car for when I end up with some bonus carpoolers – but just don’t feel like everyone is safe like they should be. Thoughts?
Stefani Tolson says
Hi Courtney, the seat is geared for those ages 4 and up that are 40lbs -100lbs. My son is 6 and about 50 pounds which works perfect but each child has a different build and it may not work for some children. When it comes to booster seats, the safety concerns are where the belt is placed on your child. Take a peek at this helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XCafADy4yc#t=106
Plantladydeb says
I need one of those! what age can they start using a booster seat? or does it go by weight?
Stefani Tolson says
This seat is for children that are at least 4 years old. There is weight limits too. This seat is recommend for children between 40lbs and 100lbs in weight.
Ashley M says
I think this could be a great product to keep in the car for emergencies but I would like to know more about the safety involved.
Joyce@MommyTalkShow says
This would be so much easier than checking a car seat when we’re flying. We don’t do a lot of after school play dates, but I’d want to keep this handy in case we do.
Stefani Tolson says
This seat is perfect for those that are traveling!
Grace Hodgin says
I really like the looks of this and love how you explained to properly make sure the seat belt is where it should be. As a grandparent we sometimes forget and I’d love to get one of these for the car when picking up my grand son so my daughter could keep hers in her care instead of loaning it to me.
diane says
I was SO happy when my kids got out of regular car seats and into booster seats! Looks like a comfy addition to your next trip!
OurFamilyWorld says
This would be so perfect for when my son goes along with other people in their cars. He’s ALMOST to the point where he can get out of the booster seat. I love how portable it is.
debra p says
I like the purple and that’s a super cute pic. It seems that it is safe and would be a great idea when someone else is picking up your child like grandparents!
Susan says
I love the ease of use for this portable booster, this would be wonderful to take with on a trip.
Shauna says
This sounds so cool. We are traveling quite a bit this summer and it may be perfect for loading into our suitcase… thanks so much
Francine @ Teresa's Family Cleaning says
This would be great to have for an extra seat. Thanks for sharing!
emily says
I am going to share this with my friends who have children who need booster seats.
Ellen Christian says
How cute! I do love the purple one!
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says
I had no idea this product even existed, wow! It would be handy when traveling by plane!
Pam says
This looks like a great product! I remember how hard it could be to transfer booster seats between cars when my daughter was going with her grandparents. This would have solved the problem.
Keikilani says
This is pretty cool. Would save me from having to pull out carseats every time we switched cars.
Tammy Litke (@threedifferent) says
That’s neat. I like that it’s so portable – perfect for traveling!
Mama to 5 BLessings says
my daughter would LOVE this because it’s purple! I have never seen this before, great for travel!
Jenn @TheRebelChick says
I seriously need a booster seat for myself. I can barely see over the steering wheel in my husband’s car.
Brett says
This is a cool concept. Great to just have a spare seat just in case!!
Liz Mays says
It would be so frustrating not to see out the window as a child. This is great!
Amy Desrosiers says
This is the perfect seat for grandparents and relatives!
april says
Love the color of this seat. So cool.
Jennifer Soltys says
That’s so adorable and handy!! Has to be so convenient for switching vehicles.
Amber Edwards says
I am in love with these! I don’t have one yet…but YET is the key word. My daughter is really close to the booster seat stage. And I love how portable this one is! We often switch cars between the husband and myself. This would make it SO easy to switch cars versus having to constantly install a bulky booster every single time.
Kristen @ My 3 Little Kittens says
How compact and easy for travel this would be!!!
Toni says
I Love how compact it is. My daughter would love the purple.
Dawn Lopez says
Ooh how neat, that is really convenient. I’ve never seen anything like this, so cute too! I am going to have to get one for my niece!
Sandra says
These look like great seats for the kids. The color would be a hit here.
Sarah @ Must Have Mom says
What a great idea!!! Just slip it in their backpack before school and Wah-Lah, off to Grandma’s afterwards. Why didn’t I think of this?
Kathleen Garber says
That’s a great idea although it does make me nervous since carseats are so regulated. Perfect for those who don’t have their own vehicle and make use of other people vehicles and cabs.
Debi@ The Spring Mount 6 Pack says
We have one of these. I love it. It has been such a life saver.
Kristin Wheeler (@MamaLuvsBooks) says
That seat looks great and so easy to transport when needed!
