I have a 8 yr dd who is getting close to passing the test to fit in a regular seat belt, but still has to grow a bit taller. I have a 6 yr ds - still harnessed in a Graco Nautilus. When needed to fit three people across in the back, we will use the Ride Saver Travel Vest. But, DD has outgrown the vest and DS doesn't like it very much. I am interested in getting the Bubble Bum to use instead.
Questions: Watching the video on the Bubble Bum site, it looks like the back of the leg from the knee to the mid thigh is unsupported since the Bubble Bum doesn't extend out to the edge of the seat. Could we put a rolled up towel or something there to support the back of the legs? We wouldn't put it under the Bubble Bum or affect the positioning of the seat. It would just support the legs. Is this OK to do?
If your child uses the Bubble Bum, does this lack of support bother him/her? Would your child be comfortable using the Bubble Bum on a long road trip? (We may be driving from FL to NY this summer and would need 3 across on the back seat.) My kids' existing seats have virtually no padding for their bottoms -- it seems like the Bubble Bum would be a bit more cushy.
Thanks for any comments about the Bubble Bum.
