Anyone use a Bubble Bum for daily use?

[cevamal]

I'm considering one for my 9yo.

It seems like tons of people use them as a spare or for travel, but I don't see a lot of people using them as a regular seat.

Any caveats I should be aware of?

The only caveat is that the seat belt can be difficult to thread into the belt guides, especially in a tight 3 across. My DS will probably switch to the BB full time at some point, once he is able to handle the belt guides without help. He should be fine by the time he's 8.

If they redesign the belt guides, that seat would hands down win best bet for 3 across IMO.

We use it daily for a carpool. The nearly 8 year old who rides in it can manage the belt guides himself, and he's between 2 HBBs in a prius. My 5 year old tried it one day and declared it comfortable (he fit well in it, and we were on a short ride with no danger of him falling asleep).
