BubbleBum Booster Seat Review & Giveaway



***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***





BubbleBum: The Portable, Foldable, Loveable Inflatable Car Booster Seat!
No more lugging those heavy car booster seats to play dates or grandma's house! Introducing BubbleBum; an affordable, lightweight, inflatable car booster seat that travels easier than a child does.  BubbleBum comes in a convenient carrying bag, and has shoulder belt positioning clips in place of arm rests. lt easily fits in small spaces, making it more comfortable for three kids to sit in the backseat. lt deflates after use allowing it to be stored in a backpack, flight bag, trunk or even a large purse. It weighs approximately 1lb, and because it is inflatable and soft-sided it is much more comfortable than a regular booster seat. It's perfect for vacations, rental cars, taxis, carpools and school pick up.  This revolutionary booster seat is available for only $39.99 (+S&H) at BubbleBum.us, select Target stores and Target.com as well as Babiesrus.com.

-BubbleBum is lightweight, portable and durable so you can take it with you anywhere. It is perfect for rental cars and taxis.
-BubbleBum inflates in less than 30 seconds by blowing in the valve in the back of the seat.
-BubbleBum is surface washable.
-When inflated, the BubbleBum measures 13X13X4.5.
-Currently, BubbleBum comes in two color schemes that were approved by 98% of the kids questioned (both boys and girls!). New colors are coming.
-Bubblebum is designed for kids ages 4-11 or 40-100 lbs.


BubbleBum was founded by Safekids USA Certified CPST Grainne Kelly from Northern Ireland who, like many other parents, was appalled by the lack of car booster seats available from car rental desks even when booked in advance.
Bubblebum is the winner of the PTPA Award, JPMA Award, NAPPA Seal of Approval, H.O.T. Product Winner and earned a Best Bet designation from the IIHS two years in a row.






 My Thoughts

 The BubbleBum is a really great idea for parents on the go. My van has built in booster seats, but I still needed an extra seat for those times when my husband needs to take the kids in his car or if they go to stay with grandma. Its also perfect for trips on a plane or when you plan to rent a car. The BubbleBum is great for every day use but its especially convenient for this type of situation. Its super simple to use.  You just pull the seat from the bag, blow it up, hook it in, and its ready to go. What makes it so convenient, is that its just as easy to put it back away. For my family, this was an important benefit. My husband is in a band and his car is overflowing with people and equipment when its his turn to drive to gigs. Having a bulky car seat in the back seat took up way to much space. But with the BubbleBum, when its not in use, you just deflate it, roll it back into the bag, and it takes up no space at all. Yet, it still offers the security we demand for our children when we're driving. Its also comfortable for the kids and my daughter loves the dark purple color  I will definitely be getting a second BubbleBum as soon as my baby is ready to move into a booster seat. They are one of the best choices for safety, style and convenience. As an added bonus, its also affordable.
