We took this traveling and it is so much better than having to tote a full seat along for national travel. For international travel a seat would be miserable and this was the ticket! We pack lite and this folded up nice and small so we could take it out whenever we needed it. If you have to have the most crash resistant harness you can hook up all the add ons or go with a top end car seat, but if you want a safe, reliable and functional tool in your kid travel arsenal- this is it. They’ll be plenty save and you will save yourself so many headaches over lugging around a traditional seat. I also Loved lived that this is a true US approved car seat and can act as a back up car seat if we are ever caught without one! So for all those time something happens or someone else is driving them, this can be the backup you throw in the trunk or keep in another car. It takes up almost no space when folded. Could easily slide under a standard driver or passenger seat. Review: I should have bought one sooner - Wow, just wow! This is the best thing ever for travel or even just riding in a friend's car at home. After the first use and initial sizing adjustments, it is so easy to use. It takes under a minute to put it on your kid before they get in the car and then seconds to buckle them in using the car's 3-point seatbelt. It comes in a carrying bag that is also a little backpack. Maybe you will have more success getting your child to carry the backpack. I usually put the vest in my bag. My child loves the ride safer vest. He even likes to wear it around after we get out of a vehicle, because it's like wearing a snuggly hug. It's fun to "ride without his car seat" in a regular seat using the regular seatbelt. My short child can't see out the side windows, but if he sits in the middle he can see out the front windshield. Note that it is not FAA approved for use in an airline seat. Benefits of air travel with this: 1) no more worrying about checking your car seat and potential damages or delays in receiving it at your destination 2) no more lugging a giant car seat with you through the airport 3) no more renting unknown/gross car seats from rental car companies or requesting Uber/Lyft with aforementioned questionable car seats 4) no more installing/uninstalling your car seat repeatedly in taxis, shuttle buses, tour buses etc As a shorter woman, this thing looks so comfortable, and routes the seatbelt so well over the shoulder and chest, I kind of want one for myself. ## Features - ✓ TRANSITION NOTICE: This listing is for Gen 5 and continues to deliver trusted safety performance.

She could lean down and put her chin on her knees while wearing it. Is there a way to avoid this?** A: Were you using the top tether or just a lap/shoulder belt? If the vest was top-tethered I can't picture a kid leaning far down enough to be putting his/her chin to her knees. Some folks who might be better able to help you with this question are the certified child-passenger safety techs at the internet forum http://www.car-seat.org - they're very helpful and knowledgeable. Hope that helps! **Q: Does this come with the back back, neck pillow and all the tethers? I can't find a lost in the description or pictures.** A: As of October 2022, the manufacturer is no longer packaging the neck pillow with the RideSafer. This could change again in the future. Please check our website for the most up to date information about what comes with the RideSafer vest. **Q: Does this come with a tether?** A: Sometimes the retailer at which you are currently will resell returns with parts missing since they do not know what to check for. All vests should come with a tether strap. **Q: What accessories does it come with?** A: Update: The RideSafer now comes with tether strap, crotch strap and carrying bag. It no longer includes the neck pillow. You can purchase that separately at https://SafeRide4Kids.com ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is so clutch! *by R***S on April 13, 2026* Amazing!

It completely eliminated the need to carry a bulky car seat, which made airport travel and moving between locations much easier. The harness fits nicely into a carry-on bag and is convenient for a child to wear while on the go. There is a small learning curve at first- I watched a few videos to make sure it was fitted correctly on my child and properly secured in the vehicle- but once I understood how it works, using it became quick and seamless. Overall, it’s a high-benefit solution for families who travel often and want a compact, practical alternative without sacrificing convenience. ## Frequently Bought Together - RideSafer - Small Black, Lightweight, Compact, Portable Car Seat - Perfect for Travel and Everyday Child Safety - BubbleBum Inflatable Booster Car Seat – Foldable, Lightweight, Backless Travel Booster Seat for Kids, Portable Carseat for Toddler, Fits 3 Across, Compact for Uber - Ages 4-11 Year Old, - Black - hiccapop UberBoost Inflatable Booster Car Seat | Blow up Narrow Backless Booster Car Seat for Travel | Portable Booster Seat for Toddlers, Kids, Child | Black/Gray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/160241360-ridesafer-gen-5-small-black-lightweight-compact-portable-car-seat](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/160241360-ridesafer-gen-5-small-black-lightweight-compact-portable-car-seat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
