Small Black, Lightweight, Compact, Portable Car Seat - Perfect for Travel and Everyday Child Safety

Wow, just wow! This is the best thing ever for travel or even just riding in a friend's car at home. After the first use and initial sizing adjustments, it is so easy to use. It takes under a minute to put it on your kid before they get in the car and then seconds to buckle them in using the car's 3-point seatbelt. It comes in a carrying bag that is also a little backpack. Maybe you will have more success getting your child to carry the backpack. I usually put the vest in my bag.My child loves the ride safer vest. He even likes to wear it around after we get out of a vehicle, because it's like wearing a snuggly hug. It's fun to "ride without his car seat" in a regular seat using the regular seatbelt. My short child can't see out the side windows, but if he sits in the middle he can see out the front windshield.Note that it is not FAA approved for use in an airline seat.Benefits of air travel with this:1) no more worrying about checking your car seat and potential damages or delays in receiving it at your destination2) no more lugging a giant car seat with you through the airport3) no more renting unknown/gross car seats from rental car companies or requesting Uber/Lyft with aforementioned questionable car seats4) no more installing/uninstalling your car seat repeatedly in taxis, shuttle buses, tour buses etcAs a shorter woman, this thing looks so comfortable, and routes the seatbelt so well over the shoulder and chest, I kind of want one for myself.

The RideSafer portable car seat has been a lifesaver for us. It’s compact and easy to pack, making it ideal for travel, carpooling, or when switching between vehicles. The harness is well-designed, keeps my child secure, and positions the seatbelt properly every time.I love that it meets safety standards while being so much lighter and more portable than traditional bulky car seats. My child finds it comfortable, and I appreciate the peace of mind it gives me on every trip.For parents looking for a safe, convenient, and travel-friendly option, this is a fantastic investment.

Super easy to get my toddler in and out of an Uber or rental car when traveling. Very easy to store- barely takes any room! It was pricey, but worth the convenience for travel. It's sturdy and well made.

We just went out on a trip with 2 toddlers and this harness saved me so much time and hassle. Was able to get in and out of Uber rides. I knew at all times that my kids were safe. I was able to remove and install the harness with ease. Price point may be a limit high for some but it is worth every dollar if it keeps the kids safe and it becomes easy to travel.

This ride safer is a great concept and so versatile. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit my daughter very well (she’s 4 years old 37 pound). The strap kept riding up and did not feel secured at all. It would be a better fit for older and bigger kids.

So nice to have this and not lug around big bully car seats. We have been all over the world with this and it’s held up great so far. The additional straps to keep it upright help greatly so kids don’t lean and fall over to the sides. It is easy to pack up and secure the child in place.

This is hands down the best seat you can buy for a child who has any variation of special needs! It's so easy to use, highly functional, super comfortable, safe to sleep in, the design is perfect. Hands down cannot recommend this seat enough! If you follow the fit guide there no mistake this thing will fit perfectly! Best yet, you can use a provided teather and crotch strap and choose to lock the seatbelt to ensure safety!

I've purchased two Rider Safer Travel Vests in the past. One size Large, Model Number JD14201BLG, Manufactured September 2021. Another one was size Small, Model Number JD14101BLB, Manufactured September 2021. In December 2023, I purchased another Rider Safer Travel Vest, size Large, also Model Number JD14201BLG, Manufactured June 2023. However, the new Large vest has a rear waist pad that is two inches smaller than the Large vest manufactured in September 2021. Immediately on putting it on my son he complained that it was too tight. So, I'm not sure if there's a quality control issue or the sizing has change. But I'm going to find out. I'm ordering an X-Large. See the picture and you'll see that the new vest on top is clearly shorter by two inches. When the X-Large vest comes in, I'll up date this review.Aside for this current issue, we've never had an issue - any issue - with the two vests manufactured in 2021. I will say that the new vest did not come with a neck pillow. I'm not happy about that change but it's just $10 on the Rider Safer website. It would be nice if it was available for purchase at Amazon. But I couldn't find it.Update to review:I received the XL version of the Rider Safer Travel Vest. The current XL version has the same size back waist pad as the 2021 Large version. The XL version does actually fit my oldest son. He didn't immediately complain this time upon putting it on for the first time. The XL crotch strap is much much longer than on the Large version. My son is 7 years old and not particularly tall, probably average to just a bit shorter than average. I hope this helps you make a decision on which size to purchase for your child or children.All of my children are happy with their harnesses (travel vests). I definitely recommend this product. It's way better than travelling with a car seat when we go on vacation!
