How to Choose a Booster Seat That Actually Works for Modern Parents
1. Prioritize Safety — Always
It sounds obvious, but not all booster seats meet the same safety standards. Some fold easily but feel flimsy, while others claim comfort without offering true support.
When evaluating a foldable booster seat, look for:
- A rigid internal structure that won’t collapse under pressure
- A secure harness or strap system (ideally adjustable)
- Certifications that meet international safety standards
Bombol’s Ru™ Booster is a standout here. It’s been tested to the same safety standards as adult furniture and features a 5-point harness that converts to a 3-point harness as your child grows.
2. Don’t Compromise on Portability
The best portable booster seat should be lightweight, flat-folding, and easy to carry — because no one wants more bulk when juggling a diaper bag and snacks.
Key features to look for:
- Weighs under 2 kg
- Folds flat like a laptop
- Includes a carry handle or shoulder strap
- Quick setup — no tools or complicated parts
The Ru™ Booster checks all the boxes. It’s made for travel, folds flat, and even includes a clever sling system so you can carry it hands-free.
3. Think Long-Term Usability
Some booster seats are useful for just a few months. The smarter choice? One that grows with your child.
Choose a seat that:
- Can adapt from toddler to preschool age
- Offers adjustable straps or harnesses
- Has a durable seat base that can handle years of use
Bombol’s boosters are engineered for real life — designed to last, even if you’re using them daily at home and on the go.
4. Bonus: Style and Cleanability
You don’t have to choose between function and aesthetics. With Bombol, you can get both. The Ru™ Booster looks sleek enough for a design hotel lobby and is a breeze to clean — even the straps can go in the washing machine.
