New RideSafer Gen 5 Extra Small Portable Car Seat (XS - Blue)
New item. Does not ship in original box. Note: Instruction manual is not included. IT IS UNCONVENTIONAL and INNOVATIVE. This is a vest type Child Restraint System and uses a revolutionary technology to increase safety for the little traveler by optimizing the adult seat belt to fit 2 and 3-year-olds. IT IS SAFE AND LEGAL. This is certified for use in motor vehicles, meets or exceeds all applicable FMVSS 213 requirements so is legal to use in all states and territories of the U.S. IT IS COMPACT, ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT, AND PORTABLE. This is perfect for a family travel, fits 3-children in the same row of a vehicle with comfort and ease; ridesharing, taxi, or rental car. Great for grandparents and caregivers because it’s lightweight and easy to install and use. IT CAN BE USED WITH OR WITHOUT TETHER. This is to use with a vehicle lap belt and top tether by securing the vest with a top tether anchor in the vehicle. Also, this can be used with a lap and shoulder belt with or without a tether strap. WHO CAN USE IT? The Extra Small (XS) size is recommended for children about 2 years and older, weighing 26.5–40 lb and measuring 30–45 in tall. Note: Some pre–Dec 5, 2024 units list a 22 lb minimum. Both versions are safe, tested, and compliant — the difference reflects a regulatory change, not a design or safety issue. AIR TRAVEL NOTICE: The RideSafer Vest is NOT FAA approved for use on aircraft. It is certified for use in motor vehicles under FMVSS 213 and requires a tether with lap-only seatbelts.

My item shipped very quickly and I received it about 3 days after I ordered it! It came in an extra protected box as well! Very pleased with my purchase!
Item was like new
Bought a swing and it looked untouched. So happy.
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.

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 deal
Got a travel system for a great price. Would recommend Kidsy.

Was pleased with the car seat I bought from Kidsy. It was in the condition they described and arrived quickly. Thank you!
less money less hassle
Found an item still in its original packaging for 2/3 of the original pricing.
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.
Thank you!
Thank you! Great prices and great items.
The products were very good
The products were very good. More than I’d expected them to be. The color of the diaper bag is beautiful and I know my daughter in love will be happy with it.
Better than expected
Everything came packaged well, looked brand new. Super impressed.
Exactly what I needed
Found the exact baby item I needed for half the cost.
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.
So grateful
Found what I needed at a price I could afford.
Love Kidsy!
I’ve ordered a few items from Kidsy now and all have been great.
Worth it
Got a like-new monitor for under $50.
Great for parents
Shopping for gear doesn’t have to break the bank.
Looks unused
Couldn’t even tell the stroller had been returned.
Reddit Insights
5 threads · r/ScienceBasedParenting, r/CPST, r/Parenting, r/toddlertips, r/HerOneBagReddit users view the RideSafer Gen 5 XS as a portable, convenient travel solution for older toddlers and young children, but caution that it requires proper fit and child cooperation, and is not equivalent to a harnessed car seat in safety.
Overall sentiment is mixed; many parents appreciate its portability for travel and urban use, but express concerns about safety, fit for young children, and the learning curve for proper installation.

Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the RideSafer Gen 5 vest safe for a 2- or 3-year-old?
- While manufacturer says from age 2 and 22 lbs, CPSTs recommend waiting until at least 4 or 5 due to fit and behavioral concerns.
- Can it be used on an airplane?
- Not FAA approved for aircraft use; must be used in a vehicle seat only.
- Is it easy to install?
- There is a learning curve, but with practice at home, it becomes quick. The Gen 5 buckle design is improved over previous versions.
Compared To
vs WhizRider
WhizRider is not certified, while RideSafer Gen 5 is FMVSS 213 certified and considered safer and more reliable.
vs Traditional forward-facing harnessed car seats
The vest is less safe than a harnessed seat, especially for younger children who may slouch or move out of position.
Source Threads
Safety equivalence of RideSafer vest to forward-facing harnessed seat
A CPST explains that the RideSafer vest, even with tether, is not equivalent to a 5-point harnessed car seat in crash testing performance, though it is safer than a booster. The WhizRider is mentioned as uncertified, while the RideSafer Gen 5 is FMVSS 213 certified. Not FAA approved for airplane use.

First-hand experience with XS vest in NYC taxi
Parent in NYC shares experience trying the RideSafer XS for their 3.5-year-old (34 lbs, 38 inches). They found the setup manageable after practice, but needed a tether anchor which was missing in their rental car; they eventually used the vest without the tether. They appreciated its portability for city living but noted it's not as simple as a traditional seat.

Travel with 3-year-old using RideSafer vest
Parent reports using the RideSafer vest on a trip to Mexico with their 3-year-old. It was easy to pack and use in taxis and shuttles, though the child needed reminders to sit upright. They recommend practicing at home first.

Concerns about comfort and behavior of a 2-year-old using the vest
Parent asks if the RideSafer vest works for a 2-year-old. Responses suggest it's not ideal: many toddlers will slouch, unbuckle, or fall asleep unsafely. A CPST recommends waiting until age 5 or using a traditional car seat for better compliance and safety.

One-bag traveler shares RideSafer vest review
User details how the Gen 5 XS fits in a daypack for minimalist travel. They've used it in Ubers and rental cars across multiple countries. The buckle is easy to use after a few tries, and the vest can be wiped clean. They caution that the shoulder belt guide can slide if the child moves a lot, and recommend the top tether for added stability.
