Please read if you are considering between the BubbleBum and hiccapop UberBoost
I purchased both for my two toddlers, and have used them extensively for numerous car trips in a wide range of vehicles.Price/Value: TieBoth are priced around $35-40, and each contains a seat, carry bag and manual. Both have lifetime satisfaction guarantees.Materials and Build: hiccapopBoth booster seats use a drawstring bag for storage, with a spring-loaded cord lock. I prefer the smaller, stretchy fabric BubbleBum bag, whereas the hiccapop bag is unnecessarily large, but is made of a water-resistant nylon which will probably last longer. Both seats have nice fabric covers that are well made, and seem durable, and come in a few color options. The hiccapop’s cover is removable (with a zipper) and is machine washable, whereas the BubbleBum is surface clean only and should not be removed (according to the manual). The BubbleBum advertises as having a safety and stability system built in, which consists of memory foam and padding over the air chamber, with a reinforced harness around the cover. Apparently this stabilizes movement and keeps its structural integrity, and there is probably some validity to those claims. The hiccapop is just an air bladder inside the cover. That said, the hiccapop’s underside is flat, with a non-skid fabric (more on that later) whereas the BubbleBum’s is a smooth fabric which also has a lot of straps that make it harder to place perfectly flat on a seat. For the seatbelt clips, the BubbleBum uses toughened polymer (plastic), and hiccapop uses coated metal for the lap belt and polymer for the shoulder belt (incidentally, BubbleBum says metal can bend, and hiccapop implies that plastic is not as durable). I don’t think it makes much of a difference safety-wise, but I slightly prefer the metal on the hiccapop (which is used for car seatbelts, even when covered in plastic), even if it adds a bit more weight (1.3lbs vs. <1lb).Ease of Setup and Installation: TieBoth booster seats have an inflation valve to inflate to size. The BubbleBum has an external screw valve at the back of the seat. It’s very easy and intuitive to open and close, and to wrap your lips around when inflating. But it’s hard to retain the air when closing the valve after inflation. Also, the valve protrudes from the seat, which can be more uncomfortable for the child if shifting around, and can leave a temporary mark on the upholstery. The hiccapop has a flat valve with a flap under the fabric cover at the front. It’s more fiddly to open and close the flap, and a bit more cumbersome to put your mouth around to inflate. It still inflates quickly, and holds the air in while taking a breath, however it does require that you need to stick your finger into the valve to get all the air out when deflating. Being under the cover means it’s more protected, but you have to open and close the zipper.To install, both seats are placed directly on the car seat. With the child then sitting on the seat, the seatbelt comes across the child’s lap, and is clipped into the belt loops on each side of the booster. Then the positioning clip attaches to the shoulder belt behind the child’s shoulder. On the BubbleBum, the shoulder belt positioning clip can slide from one side of the seat to the other along a strap underneath, which is helpful when installing or moving in a new vehicle, especially rideshares and taxis. But the clip is just a plastic loop that I found to slide around on the belt, and can sometimes slide off a fidgety kid’s shoulder. On the hiccapop, you have to attach the shoulder belt positioning clip on a loop on the left or right side of the seat, which takes a bit more time if you have to change seats. But the clip actually snaps closed and secures firmly onto the shoulder belt, keeping it in place.Uninstalling is to do the reverse, and is quick and easy for both. Also, both designs allow you to slip the user manual inside the cover for storage on the go.Comfort: hiccapopThe hiccapop seat is about 20% larger, and has side bolsters which provide more support. With the extra size, this is equivalent to the additional weight and volume of a medium-sized apple, which may be important for some. The BubbleBum has memory foam and padding, but from a comfort standpoint, it doesn’t feel appreciably better, at least according to my kids who have used them extensively. Also, the hiccapop has a grippy texture on the bottom which prevents it from sliding around. For slightly longer trips, this is important to stop it from moving out of position and becoming uncomfortable to sit on. The hiccapop advertises this as an important feature (twice, in fact), and until I saw it in action I didn’t fully appreciate how important it was.Safety: TieBoth meet or exceed federal standards for car seat safety. The BubbleBum advertises as also meeting rollover standards, but I believe this is more a matter of actually having the test done, rather than not potentially applying to other booster seats. After all, most seats are similarly minimal in design. But it does give peace of mind knowing it was tested. As indicated above, the BubbleBum has padding and reinforcements for safety and stability, but that’s only as good as the when the seat stays in place. The fact that the hiccapop stays in place more easily, and secures better at the shoulder, gives me more assurance that it will be used as designed.Conclusion: hiccapopTo be honest, I like both seats and will continue to use them. Both are safe and fairly easy to use. Unfortunately the BubbleBum’s smaller size, non-washable cover with the slippery underside material, and poor shoulder belt positioning clip make it less useful for us. That said, it is more compact, and has more emphasis placed on the safety of its materials (but whether or not those features actually make a difference in a crash is debatable since both booster seats pass safety standards).

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient, lightweight, easily packed and fast inflation - currently the best designed booster seat for traveling
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015
This is an outstanding idea - and it's well executed. This booster seat is incredibly lightweight, it's easy and fast to inflate/deflate, it's very compact when deflated (folded or rolled up), it's made of quality and durable materials - and it's easy on the car's interior (won't damage your seats). From the functional standpoint, this seat is small and sits a little lower than more conventional booster seats. The belt guides are sturdy and made of quality materials that shouldn't damage seat belts over time. Overall - this is a great product.
Nevertheless, I need to temper the positive aspects of this booster seat with the fact this type of booster seat (lap belt guide only) should only be used with a secondary type of restraint - like a safety vest that incorporates belt guides for both the lap and shoulder belts. A great example is the Ride Safer vest system by Safe Traffic Systems. The Ride Safer vest not only properly guides both the lap and shoulder belts, it's reinforced, padded and is designed to better distribute crash forces over a much larger area than what a standard seat belt is capable of. I think this is a two-way relationship as well, though. The best application of the Ride Safer vest is in conjunction with a quality (certified) booster seat like this one.

I think it is important to frame an opinion, and help the reader understand the perspective from which a review is written - especially when that opinion is regarding safety equipment. I have a two-decade background in military safety, relating to both off-duty (ground) safety and aviation safety - to include mishap investigation. This experience includes investigating motor vehicle mishaps (there is no such thing as an "accident").

Motor vehicle fatalities account for over 30,000 deaths per year in the U.S. (33,561 in 2012*). Children account for approximately 1,200 of these deaths. While this number seems tiny compared to the total number of fatalities - the number of child fatalities per mile is comparable to adults. The exposure rate of adults is simply higher (the number of hours the average adult is on the road when compared to children - and children account for only 1/6th of the population). The number of children injured in motor vehicle mishaps in the U.S. is however staggering - approximately 170,000 children per year.

One of the biggest contributing causal factors for child injuries and deaths is the child being out of position relative to the restraining device - preventing the safety equipment from restraining and mitigating the forces of the crash properly. The only purpose a booster seat serves is to better position (elevate) a child relative to the shoulder strap, to prevent the shoulder strap from riding up a child's neck and face by ensuring the proper angle of the shoulder belt (relative to the child's shoulder and neck). This angle is critical for any occupant. If the occupant sits too high relative to the shoulder belt (typically an adult or tall child), a collision can cause geometry-related secondary spinal injuries (mid and lower back) caused by the shoulder belt transmitting too much crash energy to the mid and lower back. If the occupant sits too low (typically with a small child), a collision can result in the child sliding under the shoulder belt - which can severely injure the child's neck (and face).
The biggest problem with using a booster seat that only guides the lap belt is in the assumption that booster seat will keep a child in the correct position relative to the shoulder strap for the entirety of your travels (and therefore safe). If you have a kid - then you know any assumption that your child is going to stay in one position is simply not even remotely similar to reality. Kids move and wiggle around a lot, and a booster seat equipped with simple lap belt guides is not going to do anything to maintain the proper shoulder belt alignment with your precious, perpetual motion, micro human. Unfortunately, the results can be tragic. This is why I strongly believe in a certified safety vest like the Ride Safer safety vest in conjunction with a properly designed booster seat.
A certified and tested safety vest physically attaches (and therefore attaches your child) to the seat belt, and the vest's belt guides help ensure the child's position remains correct at all times - and the booster seat ensures there is not any excess force transmitted to the child's neck and head in a collision by providing the proper geometry of the shoulder belt relative to the vest's upper belt guide.

This particular inflatable booster seat is the perfect travel companion - especially with a certified safety vest. While automotive safety vests and booster seats are not certified and should not be used for air travel, they can be easily packed and used in taxi cabs, and in the event the front seat is the only available place for the child. While not optimal (a back seat is considered safer than the front seat for children), a child can safely travel with the combination of this booster seat and the safety vest in the front seat of a car, truck or two-seat sports car - and this is also legal in most states (check your local laws for specific requirements and restrictions). If this is done, you should of course ensure the child is sitting as far back from an airbag (if so equipped) as possible, or if your car is equipped with an airbag deactivation device (many cars do this automatically based on the weight in the passenger seat), then it is recommended it be deactivated for individuals weighing less than about 65-70lbs. I would not recommend using this booster seat (any booster seat) by itself in the front seat. I would only recommend the use of a booster seat in the front seat when used in conjunction with a certified safety vest that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).

This review and my mentioning of the Ride Safer safety vest in this review were both unsolicited by their respective manufacturers. I did not receive any compensation (in any form) for my review.
