Pink stripe Bubble Bum - New color?

Athena · Mar 16, 2015

Anyone seen the pink chevron bubblebum on amazon? This is not the chevron neon pink that has barely any pink on it. This thing has loads of pink all over!! It looks pretty, although I wonder if it's too bright in person. Too bad I can't think of a reason to need another one.

Oh boy. My first bb is about to expire and I need a third for travel... I wonder if I'll be bullied into this one by my 6 year old.

Athena · Mar 16, 2015

And here I'm looking for an excuse ... I was disappointed they expire so quickly, but here's the silver lining.

FYI: Not sure if you saw my other post, but I tried the BB and, not only did it work, but DD is now in love and asking for it other times! Thanks again for all your help with that! Still, I really don't need a second one as I'm insisting on her staying in a HBB for a while and doubt she'd really want to give up her big wings for sleeping and cup holders full time.

Ooo, I was just thinking that our BB will expire soon.

It's definitely useful for us, so I'll replace it for sure. Not sure DD1 can handle all that pink, though. (And DD2 won't be in any booster for a while, so it doesn't matter that she LOVES pink.)

What is their expiration?

4 years

4 years from date of purchase, not manufacture.

I know that but I don't get it. That is not logical. Where did they come up with that?

The amazon picture looks like the changed the hip belt guides, does anyone know if this is accurate?

The reason for the short span is being inflated and deflated, knocked around in bags, etc. The usage doesn't start until you buy it. It's actually quite logical.

And it's unlikely to sit in a warehouse or on a shelf six years before being sold (the oldest I've seen at purchase was a bit over a year, and most of the retailers that carry it have high turnover), so it's not going to exceed the NHTSA 10 year guideline.

They look different on their website header too! Nice. I might switch mine all out for easier guides...

Those new guides would probably end the complaining we have about ours. Easier to use in a tight 3 across. But I still have 3 years left on one and 2.5 years left on the other, so will unlikely switch them out to hear less whining from the 8 year olds...

I bet I could find good homes for my old ones.

I hadn't noticed that. That does look a lot easier. I wonder if it stays in them as well. Anyone used the new one? Or if you're getting one, please report back! Do others' 6yos do the old style clip on their own after some practice?

We got our first one when ds had just turned 7 and he could do it with time and patience. In a tight 3 across, there's just not a lot if room to do it and when I have 2 booster kids trying to buckle at the same time, frustrations rise to the surface from them...

I asked on FB, so we'll see. My daughter is 8. She's recently tried using it, but she usually doesn't have the patience to keep trying.

Looks like it just came out this month!

Why oh why, is the model look to be a either an older 3/younger 4 year old?

ketchupqueen · Mar 17, 2015

She's 4 and 40 lbs., what the seat is rated from. As a taxi/travel seat, that's not an inappropriate choice for many kids. (Especially considering that something is more than many kids would otherwise be in in a taxi/rental/carpool situation...)

That belt guide looks much better! I ordered one of these for the cute color and the better belt guides. We will likely need a bubble bum a good bit this summer since a friend has offered to bring dd back to me at work following activities and she has two kids in a Ford Edge. I'll probably leave the pink one in her car and keep the purple one in mine.
