RideSafer Travel Vest, a Car Seat Alternative

Traveling with little kids is complicated; there are lots of things you need to bring to keep them safe and comfortable. When flying I try to pack light and avoid bringing car seats if possible. Unfortunately, it can’t always be avoided, like on a recent family trip that involved renting a car and driving to an Indiana lake resort. I considered renting car seats, but the ProductReviewlogistics just didn’t work.

Turns out, it was a great chance to try out theĀ  RideSafer Travel Vest I was sent to review. The RideSafer Travel Vest is a car seat alternative that works by repositioning the vehicle’s shoulder and lap belt to correctly fit the child. It’s also the only alternative I found that works for kids as young as 3.

We started using the vest at home a few weeks before our trip. We found it very convenient to use when traveling in alternate vehicles, like Grandma’s car. Switching out the large car seat between vehicles is a pain and completely unnecessary with the travel vest.

There is no seat to install; we just buckle my son in the vest and he is ready to go. Once in the car, we simply fasten the seat belt normally, and then insert the seat belt into the lap and shoulder belt guides on the vest.Ā The vest can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of kids, making it perfect for when you have other little ones to transport too. Both of my boys fit in the small size vest (30-60 lbs) and the large size will accommodate kids from 50-80 lbs.

The RideSafer Travel Vest is easy to use and easy to transport. We opted to pack it in aĀ spare suitcase since checking luggage wasn’t an issue on our trip. However, the vestĀ comes with a drawstring bag that could easily fit under the seat in front of you when flying.

RideSafer provided Desert Family Traveling Mom, Karen Heffren with vest for the purpose of reviewing as travel product.

We’ve been there and we want to help you get there too.

    Do you know if this is an acceptable safety seat alternative that meets all state laws?

      From the RideSafer website “Yes, the Ride SaferĀ® Travel Vest has been crash tested and meets or EXCEEDS all FMVS 213 crash test requirements for a child restraint system.” I hope that helps!

      Amanda,
      I am with Safe Ride 4 Kids the main distributor for the RideSafer. We have been compiling a listing of state laws on our website. The RideSafer meets most state laws, a few specifically mention the child needing to be elevated. Check our website for your state law and if we have not completed it yet, send us a message. We will research it and send you back the information. Thank you.
