No kidding.. That is ridiculous..I would rather have a lbb in the trunk for such occasions.. I just don't get the blow up thing.

Ok you got to wonder.. how would it work with 3 across? Since its 'soft' would it be easier to fit in spaces normally you can't??

I keep a $13 Harmony in the trunk. And if my kid was going to pull a seat out of her bag (she has) I'd rather it was an RSTV.

I've seen it. I think I like the bubblebum more. I don't think that seat would have any of the theoretical benefits of a highback booster, so I don't really see the purpose of it having a back.

If it passes crash testing, fits the kids properly, and is durable enough that it won't pop or break, then I'm fine with them.

1) the music in that video made me want to stab something.
2) to me it seems like that would just pop in an accident..?
3) I LOATHE blowing up inflatable things like that without a pump. I can't imagine that being very convenient at all.
4) Blow up things rarely collapse back to their original shape or fold back into the original packaging. I can see it getting bulky anyway.

1:16 in...someone is no longer in their seat, looks like the kid in the passenger side.

I wouldn't trust it.

My favorite is definitely that after Mom spends all of that time fastening kid into outgrown seat, you can definitely see KidInOutgrownSeat NOT secured, sideways in the backseat, as she pulls out. Awesome... :thumbsdown:

IDK, I think it would have some. The Inflatable Ambulance seat has enough structure in the back to support harness straps.
