Kidsy Customer Service Review

Josh Radcliff

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.

Thank you!

Cheryl

Thank you! Great prices and great items.

Lydia M

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.

Love Kidsy!

Rebecca

I’ve ordered a few items from Kidsy now and all have been great.

viki

Found an item still in its original packaging for 2/3 of the original pricing.

Quick response

Shelli F.

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.

Fast and efficient

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.

Reddit Insights

5 threads · r/daddit, r/ScienceBasedParenting, r/HerOneBag, r/Parenting, r/toddlers

Reddit users generally view the RideSafer travel vest as a convenient and safe-enough alternative for travel and short trips with booster-ready children, but they emphasize it is not a full replacement for a traditional car seat, especially for younger or smaller kids, due to concerns about fit, lack of side impact protection, and variable international legality.

mixed sentiment100% match

Many parents praise its portability and convenience for travel, but there are recurring concerns about proper fit, the potential for children to wiggle out of position, and the absence of side impact protection. Some car seat experts caution against using it for very young children, while others note it passes safety tests when used correctly.

Themes

Portability and travel conveniencepositive
Safety and crash test standardsmixed
Use as a wearable boosterneutral
Legality and certification in different countriesnegative
Fit and ease of usemixed

Use Cases

  • Travel, taxis, Ubers, and rental cars where carrying a heavy car seat is impractical
  • Short trips and occasional rides with friends or family
  • Supplement to a booster seat for added security

Watch Out For

mediumDifficult to achieve a snug fit on smaller children, leading to potential safety issues.
highChildren may wiggle out of proper position; requires maturity to sit correctly.
mediumNo side impact protection; safest in the middle seat.
mediumNot for airplane use; must use a separate device.
highLegality varies internationally; may not be permitted in some countries.

Community Q&A

Is the RideSafer vest safe for a 3-year-old?
It depends on the child's size and maturity. The manufacturer allows use from 30 lbs, but many parents and some car seat techs are hesitant, recommending it only for booster-ready children (usually older).
Can it replace a car seat?
It is intended as a wearable booster, not a full car seat replacement for younger kids. It's best for travel or as a secondary option.
Can it be used on an airplane?
No, it is not approved for airplane use. The CARES harness is an alternative.
Is it legal in other countries?
It may not be legal in Canada (requires prescription) or the EU/UK; travelers should check local laws.

Compared To

vs Traditional forward-facing car seat

The vest lacks the rigid shell and side impact protection of a traditional seat, but when used correctly, it can position the seatbelt similarly and passes the same crash tests.

vs BubbleBum inflatable booster

The vest is often used in combination with the BubbleBum for travel; some find it more comfortable.

vs High-back booster

The vest acts like a wearable booster, but some argue that a high-back booster offers better side protection.

vs CARES harness

The vest is not for airplane use; the CARES harness is designed for airplanes.

Source Threads

  • User street_smartz's positive experience using the vest for years

    They are to be used primarily instead of or in addition to a booster. Not necessarily as a full car seat replacement. Yes they have smaller vests you can use with younger kids, but that’s more a travel uber taxi type thing when it’s that or nothing option (of which they are incredible for and the main reason I bought it originally) Now the way a booster seat works on a kid is it lifts the kid up so that the lower strap hits the right spot on their waist and the shoulder his correctly on their chest not on their neck. The vest essentially accomplishes the same thing by bringing the straps down and into the correct position rather than the child up.

    u/street_smartzr/dadditView thread →

  • CPST daydreamingofsleep explains the vest is equally safe but notes caveats

    They’re not as restrictive as traditional harnessed seats, it is possible to wiggle out of position. This is why they’re often recommended as “wearable boosters” … because much like a booster a child has to be mature enough to sit properly.

  • User tiredlonelydreamgirl praises the vest for travel convenience

    We just used this in combo with the Bubble Bum for a 9 day trip to the USVI and it was amazing. Not having to lug the heavy seat or depend on janky rentals? PRICELESS. I only wish I’d known about it with my older two.

  • User SawWh3t shares positive experience using the vest for Uber trips

    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!

  • Deleted user reports using the vest on trips but not on planes

    We use it on trips, but not road trips. Very convenient. It’s not meant for planes. There’s another harness for that
