I appreciated the detailed description
I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost. When I thought the cupholders weren't included, I reached out to them and then we found them and they were very responsive and thankful that I let them know. Everything is fine.

Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.
Great deals, easy to use site

Would recommend
Already told two friends about Kidsy.
Highly recommend
A friend told me about Kidsy and I’ve already ordered twice.
Holly
Stocked my home for visits from the grandkids.
Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Fast delivery
Order arrived in 2 days and looked perfect.
Great price and fast delivery.

Great deal

Great, trustworthy experience
Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Reddit Insights
6 threads · r/ScienceBasedParenting, r/uber, r/Parenting, r/toddlertips, r/HerOneBag, r/toddlersReddit parents find the RideSafer Travel Vest a practical but imperfect solution for safe, portable child restraint during travel, with concerns about side impact protection and ease of use.
Overall slightly positive leaning mixed sentiment; many users praise portability but express concerns about safety compared to traditional car seats, especially side impact protection and difficulty of use with younger toddlers.
Themes
Use Cases
- Replacing bulky car seats during air travel and at destinations
- Quick Uber/taxi rides without installing a full car seat
- Three-across seating in small cars or when carpooling
- Occasional use for grandparents' cars or emergencies
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the RideSafer vest as safe as a forward-facing car seat?
- It meets federal safety standards but lacks side impact protection; it should not be the primary restraint.
- Can I use the RideSafer vest with Uber or taxis?
- Yes, it's a popular use case, though some drivers may be unfamiliar with it.
- Is the RideSafer vest comfortable for long trips?
- Mixed reviews; some kids sleep fine, others experience head slump; the optional top tether helps.
- What size should I get for a 3-year-old?
- The small fits many 3-year-olds but check weight/height limits; the company recommends minimum age 2 with caveats.
Compared To
vs Traditional forward-facing car seat
Perceived as less safe due to lack of side impact protection and shell, but more portable. Not recommended for everyday primary use.
vs BubbleBum inflatable booster
RideSafer is preferred for younger/smaller kids, BubbleBum better for older/bigger kids who meet booster minimums.

Safety comparison with forward-facing car seat
I’m leaning towards yes, but I can’t find any formal documentation comparing crash test performance...I have a 4 yo, 39” and 35 lbs. She rides in a forward-facing car seat in our car...It would be for occasional use when she rides in other cars, like grandparents.

Uber driver's perspective on accepting the vest
As a Uber driver I had no idea what it was until I read this...I’d be ok if the passenger is willing to properly install and show me how safe it works...I have one of these...life changing! We went to NYC...didn't have to haul a car seat.

Travel solution for a 3-year-old
Has anyone used one before? I don't want to bring a car seat on the plane...I know it's supposed to be booster seat alternative...We're all forward-facing.

Toddler comfort and practicality feedback
We got one for our 2.5 yr old...it was a nightmare. Not because of the vest itself, but she HATED it. Screamed bloody murder...We ended up returning it.

One-bag travel use case feedback
I use the Ride Safer travel vest for my 5 year old...We love it! Much easier than lugging around a car seat...The only downside is that some of his friends think it's a life jacket, haha.

General toddler use and safety concerns
We are considering getting one for our 3 year old but it looks flimsy and I wonder if it’s as safe as a car seat...I would use it for travel only, not daily.
