  • Safety equivalent to a forward-facing car seat?

    Is the RideSafer travel vest equivalently safe to a forward-facing car seat? ... Most people do not consider it as safe as a 5-point harness seat but it is considered safer than a booster seat for younger children because it keeps the lap belt low.

  • Travel vest for 3-year-old on trips

    Just used the RideSafer vest with my 3 year old on a trip to NYC. It was great for short cab rides and getting around without lugging a car seat.

  • Packing the vest for minimalist travel

    Used this on a trip to Europe with a 4 year old. It packs down small and works great for the occasional taxi or shuttle ride.

  • Toddler comfort and fit experience

    We tried it with our 2.5 year old and it just didn't work. She slid around and was uncomfortable. Maybe when she's a bit older.

  • General impressions on portability

    Love how compact it is. Easily fits in a backpack and gives peace of mind for car rides at our destination.
