Mifold or Bubblebum for rental car travel for 7 year old?

We have a few 3-4 day trips coming up where we will be renting a car and touring around. My daughter outgrew the Ride safer travel vest. Should I just get the bubble bum or the mifold. Amazon has good reviews on the mifold but I never trust those reviews.
Thanks,
Julie

Bubblebum hands down. I haven't come across a vehicle it doesn't work with for my kids.

Mifold is super dependent on vehicle and child size.

I completely agree. While the idea of the Mifold is nice, its execution is hit or miss at best. A company should not need a FAQ on how to achieve a proper belt fit when the entire idea behind the device is to how to position the belt properly.

We found the BubbleBum to be tippy occasionally, but it was far easier to use properly and provided a great belt fit every time. My daughter was able to deal with the tippiness.

Another bubble gum can here. My kids don't love it but it is so easy to travel with. It's less tippy if you make sure to not over inflate it. Another option is the incognito, it has a 60 lb minimum though.

Is the child that weight naked or fully dressed with shoes? If that is a weight from the doctor or taken naked, try weighing the child with clothes and shoes like what he/she would wear while using the booster and see if you make it to 40 pounds. If not, no, it is not safe.
