I was very excited to be able to try the
BubbleBum inflatable booster
seat. Frida (four years old) loved the
purple colour and the fact that it
could be
blown up like a balloon. We
travel quite often, use
taxis and I also occasionally have
three children in my
car and have no way of
storing that many
car seats in the
boot.
Within a week of getting the
BubbleBum car seat we had a chance to use it. Needing to
pick up my father-in-law,
my husband took the
train with my daughter to
Paddington Station. The
car seat (already blown up) was
light and
small enough to carry in a
shoulder bag. It was then used for the
taxi ride home.
I can already see
how useful it will be when we
travel abroad and are
able to take this with us in our
luggage.
I have had to
rely far too often on
hire car companies either
renting me
a
seat that is not the
right size; is dirty, or not having one when we pick up
the car. It will also
save
us the usual
ten Euros a day that car hire companies
charge. Our
booster seat is just
not practical
to carry around with us.
I am really pleased to have
BubbleBum as a back up when I need to give my
daughter's friends a lift in our
car. This will give me great
peace
of mind knowing they are
safe.
As a mother aware of
safety, I was happy to read that the
BubbleBum
has been approved under
United Nations ECE R44/04 for safety for both
Groups 2
and 3 car seats.
