Gadgeter 2nd Gear May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 Please share how does this work. Photographs will help us understand better. I just bought 3 of these. http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Auto-Car-Adjust...=item1e6d0f9cd4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Clutched May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 I just bought 3 of these. http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Auto-Car-Adjust...=item1e6d0f9cd4 i was looking at your earlier post, where you mentioned .... It is permitted as per the SPF statement. Do you mean that SPF stated that they permit this type of seat-belt adjustment device to be used? I looked at the smaller picture (with the child) at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AU-Car-Auto-Adjust...=item27bf076fbb and I guess, one part is friction-tightened onto the lap part of car seat belt and the triangular piece hooks on to the shoulder part. It seems to work by pulling the shoulder belt closer to the lap part. My concern is how strong is that triangular hook part. Has is been tested for forces exerted on the car seat belt in a NCAP type car crash (only 64km/hr). Will part of the triangular piece give way or fracture? If yes, won't it become a missile flying towards the neck, face or head of the child? I would be surprised that TP (SPF) officially permit/endorse such a device without scruntinizing adequate crash test data. This device may give a false sense of security/safety ..... I may be wrong, but maybe it can be a hazard rather than a convenient safety device. Perhaps you can share close-up photos of the two ends of the device and how it is actually installed and used for your child in your car. Thanks.

Vratenza Supersonic July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 Thinking of getting this inflatable type seat booster for my kid for an up coming holiday that involves significany period of chauffeured mpv rides. Maybe can double up as a seat booster in restaurants that do not have booster seats who are too bid for infant high chair and yet too short for adult seatings. http://www.bubblebum.co/us/ Anyone have experience with these portable version? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew inflatable boosters existed so sorry can't help with that. But as far as portable boosters go, check out this crowdfunded one: http://www.mifold.com I've been tempted to get the mifold for use in taxis and overseas but am still concerned about the lack of booster height, even though mifold assures everyone that they not only meet regulations, but are perfectly safe too.

Vratenza Supersonic July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 I looked at the design of the mifold. I think the principle is not much different from this cheap couple of dollars stuff: The inflatable bubblebum seem to do both, raise the kid seating height as well as pull the safetybelt down to prevent the safety belt cutting across the kid's neck.

Hey this looks fantastic! My twins are approaching 6 years and growing out of the car seats. My 2nd girl who is 10 was using an old Britax backless-booster seat and has now grown out of needing any boosters. So my plan was to get another matching Britax or Graco backless booster for the twins. This inflatable one is so much better I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 SG have...see this: http://www.bubblebum.co/us/2013/07/31/where-to-buy-a-bubblebum-car-booster-seat-in-singapore/ I called KiddyPalace Jurong Point to reserve a black one. Cost SGD70++. that is their last black piece there but you can try their other branches. Alternative is this: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/BUBBLEBUM-INFLATABLE-BOOSTER-SEAT/444923686 Pricing competitive to local prices if you are ok with the shipping method. Amazon I checked, they don't ship direct so have to go through re-shippers. So the cost will add up, end up the savings might not be that as significant. The most attractive part about this is being able to bring it overseas and might try it as a seat booster in restaurants. Hey this looks fantastic!

But that other bright colour is Good that you got the black reserved Me buying from Amazon US works out 'cos I've got more stuff that I want to get from them... this bubblebum costs the equivalent of S$40/- there for Prime members with free shipping to the Vpost box.

Vratenza Supersonic July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 Good if you have economy of bulk shipping via reshipper... After a few shat encounter with vpost, try to avoid VpostUSA as much as I can. I once paid for volumetric weight charges for a bluray sized purchase shipped in a computer CPU sized box. I don't have anything much else to buy from Amazon recently so if I can get locally I just get lor. Anyway, the stock condition is only for that branch. I assume there should be stock for black in other branches. I don't mind buying it here at S$70/- each.

You're right, the mifold is all about pulling the belt down to prevent strangulation, whereas the inflatable Bubblegum takes the traditional approach of boosting height to prevent strangulation.

The best news, to me, is that it's available at Robinsons since my wife and I shop there a lot. I shop at Amazon too but prefer to buy bulky items locally whenever practical.

Vratenza Supersonic July 5, 2016 Share July 5, 2016 Yeah.. agree on the "less bugging" advantage.... "How long to reach?" "Are we there yet?" "Why so long?" "How many minutes more?" Good for you that Robinson's your usual haunt.

Good for you that Robinson's your usual haunt. The only Robinson we go is Orchard, not exactly a fan of jostling with the shopping crowds on weekends Exactly. Whatever keeps them occupied without compromising safety (or exacerbating smartphone addiction) is a good thing. And I feel bad for my 3-year-old who's noticeably shorter than his older brother, and therefore gets a lousier view, so booster seat height's important to me for more than just safe belt positioning. Er, I confess that we actually take (waste?) leave to visit Robinsons sales, precisely because we aren't fans of jostling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
