Was pleased with the car seat I bought from Kidsy. It was in the condition they described and arrived quickly. Thank you!
Highly recommend
A friend told me about Kidsy and I’ve already ordered twice.
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, 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.
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.

I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost.

Reddit Insights
5 threads · r/ScienceBasedParenting, r/Parenting, r/toddlertips, r/CPST, r/bayareaReddit parents value the RideSafer Travel Vest Gen 5 for its extreme portability and safety approval, but concerns about child compliance and size/fit persist, especially for younger toddlers.
While many praise its travel-friendliness and safety record, there are notable caveats regarding the difficulty of use with wiggly toddlers and the XS sizing for under-4s.
Themes
Use Cases
- Airport transfers and taxis while traveling
- City living without a car (NYC, San Francisco)
- As a backup or secondary restraint for grandparents' cars
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the RideSafer Travel Vest as safe as a forward-facing car seat?
- When used with the top tether, it passes the same crash testing as a forward-facing harness, according to several CPSTs. However, proper installation and child maturity are critical.
- Can I use the RideSafer with a 3-year-old?
- The XS size is marketed for 2+, but many recommend waiting until at least age 4 or 5 due to compliance and maturity issues.
- Does the vest work in all cars?
- Some users report difficulties with certain seat belt geometries (e.g., short buckle stalks), but it generally works well in most vehicles.
Compared To
vs Forward-facing car seat (5-point harness)
Some CPSTs consider it as safe as a harnessed seat when used with top tether, but others note it lacks the same passive protection.
vs WAYB Pico travel car seat
The RideSafer is lighter and more packable, but the Pico provides a more traditional harness experience that may be easier for younger kids.
Source Threads
Safety equivalence debate among CPSTs
According to the CPST who commented, the RideSafer vest ‘is tested to the same standards as a forward-facing harnessed car seat’ but cautioned that ‘it’s not as foolproof as a harness’ because the child must remain properly positioned.

Real-world experience with a 3-year-old
‘We used it for a 3yo on a trip and it was a nightmare. He kept slouching and putting the shoulder belt under his arm. Would not recommend for under 4 unless your kid is very calm.’ Another user replied, ‘It’s a great product for older kids who can sit still.’

Sizing feedback for toddlers
‘Got the XS for my tall 2yo but it was huge. Returned it and waited until she was 3.5.’ Another parent wrote, ‘We’ve been using the small since my son turned 5 and it fits perfectly.’

CPST family tests XS vest in NYC
‘We’ve been using the XS for our 4yo in taxis. It’s a game-changer for city living. I’m a CPST and feel it’s safe when tethered. However, my child is very cooperative; I wouldn’t use it for a typical toddler.’

Bay Area parent asks about ride-share legality and fit
‘Yes, they are legal for ride-shares in CA. I’ve used ours in Ubers with my 6yo. Just watch out for cars with short buckle stalks – sometimes you need to twist the female end to get it to lay flat.’
