The Ride Safer Vest: The Ultimate Travel Car Seat Solution for Families on the Go
Lugging around a bulky car seat is one of the worst parts of traveling with kids. Meet the Ride Safer Vest, a game-changing solution for families who want safety without sacrificing convenience.
What is the Ride Safer Vest?
The Ride Safer Vest is a lightweight, packable alternative to a traditional car seat. It works by securing your child directly into the seatbelt, ensuring a safe and comfortable fit.
Is It Safe?
YES, IT’S SAFE! I’ve done the research so you don’t have to. As someone who used to work in Labor & Delivery and conducted professional car seat checks, I understand how important safety is. I’ve watched every safety video on the Ride Safer Vest, and I can confidently say I trust this product.
Why We Love It
We’ve used the Ride Safer Vest during our family adventures in Europe, Asia, and across the U.S. Here’s why it’s become an essential part of our travel gear:
Packability: The vest folds down small enough to fit in a backpack, making it perfect for families who prioritize light packing. We typically travel with carry-on only and bounce around from place to place so this has been so helpful.
Convenience: It’s ideal for travel situations where you’re primarily using public transportation, taxis, or Ubers.
Ease of Use: Installation is simple and straightforward—you just slide the seatbelt through the vest’s guides for a snug, secure fit.
Who Is It For?
The Ride Safer Vest is a great option for families with kids who:
Weigh between 22-80 pounds (depending on the vest model) and are at least 2 years old
Frequently use rideshares, taxis, or public transit
Need a car seat solution that’s easy to transport and use on the go.
What About Europe?
It’s important to note that the Ride Safer Vest is technically not approved under European car seat regulations. However, we’ve used it in 11 countries across Europe without any issues. It has been a reliable and practical solution for navigating public transportation and ride-sharing.
Final Thoughts
This was a game-changer. I like it for shorter vehicle rides, especially with public transportation. If you are planning on being in the car for awhile, then I would recommend more of a traditional car seat.
