Product Information

I always thoroughly test products so I can share honest reviews and would never recommend anything I didn't like. The Hifold is suitable for children aged 4 to 12 or weighing between 15 to 45kg (or up to 150cm), which makes it more versatile than many other travel boosters out there. With this compact and highly portable device, children can easily keep one in their backpack at all times, drivers can keep spares - clutter free - in the glove compartment of their vehicle and family holidays will always be stress free without losing cabin or luggage space. In the US and Canada, mifold is designed for children weighing from 40Ibs to 100lbs and between 40-59 inches tall for mifold Comfort and mifold Sport,and 40-57 inches tall for mifold Basic and mifold Original. It’s also ideal for those looking to go abroad, whether by train or airplane, and those who don’t want the risk and uncertainty – and expense – of hiring sub-standard car seats.

Through this blog, run by full-time travel bloggers Jenny (Mum) and Jay (Dad), we share our itineraries and honest experiences of family travel life with you. There has been widespread coverage in the media about proposed changes to the European regulations for child car safety seats, including those on sale in the UK. mifold Sport, the luxury grab-and-go booster, has a more sporty look including a leather-style cushioned seat and incorporates high end materials and artisan craftsmanship.

Overall this would be perfect for traveling, car rentals, if you have multiple kids in carseats 3 in a row, carpooling, or for grandparents house. mifold Comfort and mifold Sport are globally regulated so can be used when travelling anywhere in the world (apart from Australia).

Once folded, mifold fits easily into the glove compartment or side door of your car, so it’s perfect for relatives’ cars or as an extra seat for your child’s friends. The mifold Original seat uses a unique EVA DenseFoam (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) to provide constant support at pressure points. Even when fitted to the car it is one of the smallest booster seats available, even allowing for three booster seats to be used across the backseat of a car. Designed for children aged 4 and up, 40 to 100 lbs, and 40 to 59 inches tall, mifold Comfort is ideal for everyday use and compact enough to take with on every adventure!Top designers, engineers and industry experts have created the mifold, the most advanced car seat ever invented, to not only be mighty strong, but to also offer ultimate comfort. The mifold isn't comfortable; it lacks a true cushion with just a small firm base and relies on the vehicle seat for support, unlike the competition. It follows the original MiFold, a travel booster which which was described as ‘the world’s most compact car seat’. mifold offers the correct amount of restraint in case of impact, empowering parents and caregivers to put the child's safety first.

The mifold takes about 30 seconds to install per child and it’s quite easy once you’ve practiced once or twice. The seat feels nice, but the anti-slip fabric isn't soft and still slips out from under kids while driving, negating the reason for the less-than-desirable material. The lap belt still sits in their lap, via two clips either side of the seat, while the back strap holds it securely over their shoulder without digging into neck. The seat itself seems a little small and requires them to sit extremely upright, which doesn’t bode well for long journeys.According to my 6-year-old tester, it was also more comfortable than a normal booster seat, as it has the headrest, and didn’t seem quite as hard. We just had to get the car seats from home to the UK airport, and then from Marrakech airport to the hire car.
