Have a Question? See What Others Asked

Where do you inflate the seat? This is for riding in taxis, so there is an "ick" factor to consider (unless there is a pump included?)
Comfortable for a leggy kid on longer rides?
Is it washable?
I was wondering if it takes long to inflate and deflate?

its easy to travel with and does the exact same thing as a regular booster

so easy to use and does the same job as regular boosters. the fact that's its narrower makes it so much easier to have more boosters in the same row. good thing to keep in mind when doing carpool

Easy to use.

We purchased this for a short trip to Seattle and it worked great for my seven-year-old to ensure that he was tall enough to use the seatbelt. It’s very lightweight and fits in a small bag.

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).

Perfect fit!

Due to having another baby. I needed a booster seat for my oldest that would fit in my suv, with a toddler seat and an infant seat.

Lightweight and so useful for travel especially international travels!

Love this booster seat! It’s lightweight, very easy to inflate and deflate. My kid is 7 years old but pretty slim, he is very comfortable sitting on it while we travel in different cars. Would recommend!

Convenient but loses air :-(

Super convenient BUT ours started losing air after an hour or so of use. We have used it about 3 times prior before it started deflating on its own. Might be fine for short car trips but definitely not long adventures!

Works great for tight places

Worked great to fit between two other car seats.

safety expert's view on BubbleBum Vs Hiccapop Uberboost

I have been a child passenger safety technician for 20+ years and work regularly in the field of car seat safety. I have had some parents asking me what the difference is between these two seats. I had used a BubbleBum before but had never tried the Hiccapop seat until now. These are my own opinions and I have not been influenced by either brand.****Safety should be the priority when deciding which seat to use for your child even for short journeys or when travelling.*** Therefore, I would recommend BubbleBum for these reasons.StabilityHiccapop : this seat is designed with one compartment to fill with air, like a beach ball. The material used is also similar to that of a beach ball or an inflatable toy. It has more height than the BubbleBum but this means that the air will be further displaced when pressure is applied on one end of the seat. In my opinion this would increase the chance of submarining which is exactly what booster seats are designed to prevent.BubbleBum: This seat is filled with a type of foam which makes for less movement of air and therefore less chance of submarining which is safer. The fabric on the inflatable part is much tougher than Hiccapop and would be much more difficult for a child to puncture. It would be nice if the BubbleBum was a little bigger to make it roomier for the child, however, not to the detriment of the safety of the child. The inner inflatable section is divided and the foam makes it feel much more stable with less wobble.Crash testingHiccapop : meet the USA crash tests which are frontal and rearBubbleBum : meets both Eu and USA crash testing which are frontal, rear AND rollover.Lap belt positioning side clips :Hiccapop: the side clips are made of metal but they are bendable. I was also able to easily pull the side clips off of the inflatable seat which was a major safety concern for me.I was also concerned that when/if the seat is punctured it would appear that the seat belt clips would allow more than 8inches of slack in the belt path which is dangerous for the child. Remember the purpose of the booster seat is to position the lap belt on the strongest parts of the body, not on the soft tummy area.BubbleBum : The side clips are attached by a belt which extends around the inflatable section so it was not possible to pull them off. While they are made of a type of plastic, it is really strong and I was unable to break them even with a hammer. When the seat is punctured it will still hold the lap belt low on the hips which will keep the child protected, as the height doesn’t change much even when punctured because of the foam inner.In my opinion, Bubblebum is by far the superior product.
