When I was invited to review the BubbleBum, I have to admit I was skeptical.
Why?
The BubbleBum is the world’s first inflatable and deflatable, portable and packable car booster seat for kids aged 4-11 and weighing 15-36 kgs.Yes, that’s right – an inflatable carseat!!!
My daughter often takes the kids out but she has a tiny car, so fitting car seats in it is a real challenge so BubbleBum‘s narrow design is perfect for her car!
The BubbleBum is just as safe as any rigid car seat and has been approved under the United Nations ECE Regulation R44/04 for safety for both Groups 2 and 3 and is designed for use with a standard 3 point adult seat belt. It weighs approximately 0.5 kilograms and comes with a convenient carrying bag and shoulder belt positioning clip.
How does it work?
The clever car booster seat inflates in seconds with a few puffs of air into the valve at the back. I struggle to blow up balloons but this was easy to do, plus you can deflate and pack down just as quickly but undoing the valve and rolling the BubbleBum up. When deflated, it is lightweight and small enough to fit in hand luggage, a child’s rucksack or in my handbag.
BubbleBum retails at £29.99 and is available at: Halfords, John Lewis, Tesco, Boots, Heatons, Kiddicare and Amazon.

What a fantastic product! I can imagine that so many parents would want one for ferrying littles around for after school trips, so much easier than carrying a booster into school every week! Love the photo of your little driver!
This looks really good – and something I think I will buy for my Mum’s car for the twins! Brilliant! (just wish I didn’t have to buy two!!!)
This looks great and perfect for taking on travels away!
Wow! Looks fantastic! Great review!
This will make a perfect spare seat when using a rental car on holiday. We are coming to the stage of boosters, so will be checking this out.
That is genius! I have to carry a couple of spares in my car boot all the time and they take up so much room!
What an absolutely brilliant idea… why do I never come up with things like this x
What a fab idea when you’re going abroad or on a train but want a car seat the other end.
perfect for packing away on the move! x
That’s a brilliant idea. I hate trying to find somewhere to store them when Ant brings them out of the car.
Oh my goodness. How handy is this?! As others have said perfect fr travelling abroad!
great idea for traveling!
That’s a great product! Perfect for travelling and for always having to hand.
