I was recently in an Uber Pool with a lady who had a small toddler with her. The little boy was not in a car seat/booster seat nor was he in a seat belt. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Eventually, during the trip, we had to ride on the highway for a 10-minute stretch. At that moment, there were so many “what if’s” that went through my head, I won’t even discuss them. I think you know where my mind was heading.
I understand it can be difficult to lug around a car seat and/or booster seat, especially if you don’t have a car and depend on alternate transportation, such as cabs, trains, subway, etc. The same situations arise, for example, if your child has a play date after school and will ride home with their pal. Often, there may not be an extra car seat and/or booster seat and the child will have to do without one. Even if it is a short ride home, we all know that is when most accidents occur.
During this Uber ride, I kept thinking, what if the driver had a car seat or booster seat available for situations such as this. Currently, I don’t think Uber has any way of knowing if there will be a child in need of a car seat/booster seat and since it’s part of the gig economy, I doubt any driver will turn down a rider because of this. But, if the driver had one, how much better would they feel about riding a little child in their car? Much better, I would say. The mother in the car had many bags as they’ve just been picked up at a shopping mall. Which brings me to this amazing invention.
Mifold- the Grab-and-Go Booster Seat
If the Uber driver or the mother would’ve had this product, the issue would’ve been solved. The mifold is a booster seat engineered to protect children from the age of 4 to 12 years. It is more than 10 times smaller than a regular booster seat and it is just as safe! As the most advanced of its kind, it’s been fully-tested around the world and meets or exceeds the United States, NHTSA standard FMVSS 213; Canada’s RSSR Regulations; and the European standard, ECE R44.04.
The best part is how portable and compact this booster seat is. It will fit in any backpack or small bag and is very convenient for school carpools, outings and trips/holidays. No more excuses. There are still 20% of journeys where children do not have a car seat: in carpools, in cabs, in rental cars, with relatives, etc. This number doesn’t even include the big kids who may be on the border of regulatory limits and who don’t want to appear to be “babyish” to their friends. Spread the word about the mifold!

Built with advanced engineering, the SuperTough plastic polymers and aircraft grade aluminum make it small, but incredibly strong.
