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.
Highly recommend
A friend told me about Kidsy and I’ve already ordered twice.
Love Kidsy!
I’ve ordered a few items from Kidsy now and all have been great.
Smooth purchase
Smooth from checkout to delivery.
Looks unused
Couldn’t even tell the stroller had been returned.
Better than marketplace
Safer and easier than buying used on Facebook.
Good stuff
Love the gear I got for my twins.
Reddit Insights
5 threads · r/daddit, r/ScienceBasedParenting, r/toddlertips, r/Parenting, r/CPSTReddit views the RideSafer Travel Vest as a convenient, space-saving option for travel and urban rides, but many caution that it is not a full substitute for a traditional car seat, particularly for younger children, due to fit challenges and lack of side-impact protection.
Overall sentiment is mixed: many users praise its portability and convenience for travel/taxi use, while others express concerns about safety, fit, and its suitability as a primary restraint, especially for children under 4-5 years old.
Themes
Use Cases
- Travel and airport transportation
- Urban ridesharing and taxis
- Carpooling or extra child transport
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the RideSafer vest safe?
- It passes US federal crash test standards and is considered safe when used correctly, but it lacks side-impact protection and requires proper fit; many CPSTs recommend it only for travel or as a booster alternative for older children.
- Can it be used on an airplane?
- No, the RideSafer vest is not FAA approved for aircraft; use a CARES harness or a traditional car seat instead.
- What age/weight is it appropriate for?
- The vest is rated for children as low as 30 lbs, but many users and experts suggest it is best for children who are booster-ready (around age 4-5 and up) due to fit and maturity requirements.
- Is it legal in all countries?
- It is legal in the United States, but it may not be approved in other countries, such as Australia and some European nations; check local regulations.
Compared To
vs Traditional forward-facing car seats
The vest is seen as equally safe in crash tests when used correctly, but it offers less side-impact protection and is less restrictive, making it more like a wearable booster than a full harnessed seat.
vs Booster seats
Many equate the vest to a high-back booster because it positions the seatbelt similarly, but some users prefer a traditional booster for added head support and stability.
vs Nothing (lap belt only)
The vest is considered far safer than using no restraint, especially for occasional taxi/Uber rides where a car seat might not be available.
Source Threads
Explanation of how the vest positions seatbelt correctly
Exactly: it's about proper belt position. In addition to the shoulder belt position, it keeps the lap portion of the belt low and across the hip bones to prevent submarining during rapid deceleration. Without a car seat, the lap belt could ride up too high and crush the abdomen instead of putting load into the pelvis.
u/Jellyroll_Smithr/dadditView thread →
CPST confirms equal safety when used correctly but notes challenges
CPST here, a Ride Safer Travel Vest (RSTV) is equally safe when used correctly. They pass the same safety tests. That last part is the kicker. (1) They’re not as easy to adjust as traditional harnessed seats, there is a learning curve. (2) They’re not as restrictive as traditional harnessed seats, it is possible to wiggle out of position.

Travel system combining RideSafer vest with CARES harness for air travel
We have developed an awesome and convenient travel system with this. We use the CARES harness on the plane (FAA approved) and the Ride Safer vest in Ubers while traveling. It all packs down into a backpack pocket and is so so SO much better than traveling with a car seat. The Ride Safer is very convenient to use in quickly getting into and out of vehicles.

Positive experience using the vest for a trip with a 5-year-old
I had one for a trip with my 5 year old where we planned to use ubers to get around and then a lot of walking at our destinations. This worked great! It was quick and easy to get into and out of the car and light weight to carry around with us all day as we walked through museums, etc. My daughter also found it comfortable. I highly recommend!

Fit issues and plane restriction noted by a CPST
Did you have the shoulder belt through the guide at the shoulder? That should keep it off of her chin. You can’t use it on a plane. If she’s under 40 pounds she’d need a harnessed seat on board.
