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 service
I’m so happy with my experience. Kidsy shipped my order quickly and it was in great condition.

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.
Worth it
Got a like-new monitor for under $50.

Great product
I was impressed with the shipping and the item I got looked brand new. Great product and I’ll be ordering again.
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.
Great for parents
Shopping for gear doesn’t have to break the bank.
Highly recommend
A friend told me about Kidsy and I’ve already ordered twice.

Reddit Insights
1 threads · r/ScienceBasedParentingReddit discusses the RideSafer Travel Vest Gen 5, with CPSTs and parents debating whether it's as safe as a forward-facing car seat, noting its advantages for travel and tight fits but emphasizing the importance of proper use and top tether for safety.
Comments show a mix of cautious endorsement and concerns, with many users recommending it for specific situations while highlighting that it's not a direct replacement for a traditional car seat due to lack of side impact protection and the need for mature positioning.
Themes
Use Cases
- Travel situations with taxis, Ubers, or rental cars where a traditional car seat is impractical
- Fitting three child restraints across a back seat
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the RideSafer Travel Vest as safe as a forward-facing car seat?
- It passes the same FMVSS 213 testing, but it is not equivalent in terms of side impact protection and relies on proper belt positioning, so it's often recommended for older, mature children in situations where a harnessed seat isn't feasible.
Compared To
vs Forward-facing harnessed car seat
The vest is not considered equivalent to a forward-facing harnessed seat because it lacks side impact protection and relies on the vehicle seat belt rather than a harness, though it passes FMVSS 213 testing and can be a safer option than a booster for younger children.

RideSafer Travel Vest safety compared to forward-facing car seats
I feel the RSTV is safest when used WITH the top tether. According to the crash test results, without the top tether head excursion was 701 and with the top tether it was 550. The maximum allowed is 720. So without the top tether, the head excursion is dangerously close to the limit.
