Hey there, mifold backers,
This is an interim update for our European and Rest of World customers, ahead of our regular monthly update.
mifold Granted EU Regulatory Approval
We have some great news for you – having waited patiently for over 4 months, we have now been granted full European Union regulatory approval! We're delighted to receive this at last, as we successfully completed all the regulatory crash tests several months ago. With this approval confirmed, we can now proceed with shipping the orders for Europe and for the Rest of World.
Next Steps
We are immediately finalising the assembly of the mifold Grab-and-Go booster seats and adding the unique regulatory approval stickers. We expect this to be completed by mid July after which we will begin shipping.
Timings
We understand that accurate timings are important to you (and that vague statements can be frustrating). Our supply chain and logistics team is now working on the shipping details for the remaining Indiegogo orders. On Tuesday, July 5th we will publish details of the expected shipping dates.

Hello mifold backers, this is Jon again,
This is one of a two-part update with details on shipment status.
Currently Shipping 20,000+ mifold Seats
Post your photos, videos and reviews online; tag with the hashtag #mifold. There are now 15,000 mifold seats with children and caregivers (and another 6,000 on the way) the response has been overwhelmingly positive, thank you!
Shipping Update for the USA
As we communicated in last month’s update, all US customers that ordered between July 14 and Sept 11, 2015 have now received their orders. If you haven't it could be because 1) you have still not completed your questionnaire on Backerkit, 2) you only very recently completed it, 3) your shipping address in Backerkit has errors (log in to check), or 4) your credit card was declined. Please check your email spam folder for a message from Backerkit.
The next batch of US mifold seats are manufactured and are on their way. They will arrive at the USPS facilities in early July, at which point the US Postal Service will issue your tracking numbers and deliver your orders.
Shipping Update for the EU and Rest of the World
Simply put, the government regulators in Europe have never seen a product so “unique and innovative” in design, and as a result, are going through a much longer process to regulate it. We are just as frustrated as many of our friends, family, and supporters who wanted mifold seats for their travels.
We submitted a full dossier to the European regulators earlier this year, including the crash test data that meets or exceeds the regulatory standards. While the process is normally quick (only a few weeks), we heard it could take up to two months. We couldn’t anticipate that we would be waiting nearly FOUR months (and counting!). We've been issued a registration number and the first of two approval certificates in early May; unfortunately we are still waiting for the second one to arrive. We are in contact with the regulators daily and have met with them again this week.
At the end of the day, we are at the mercy of a governmental regulatory process and we have to be patient.
Check Backerkit and the Indiegogo Update Page First
Please check Backerkit for your shipping status, and then check Indiegogo for the latest mifold update, before emailing our team. We won’t have any further information about your order beyond what is posted there. We will let you know as soon as your's ships.
As always, thank you for your patience and support.
Sincerely,
Jon and the mifold Team

Hello mifold backers, this is Jon from mifold,
This is one of a two-part update.
Thank you for being a part of this journey to create the mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat. Before we report on shipment status, we have a few ground rules for being a part of the mifold community:
Treat Our Customer Service Team Kindly
Please, we are asking you as humans with feelings, be patient and kind with your messages. Carmel and Rachel answer every single email, comment, and tweet. We are lucky to have such lovely people on our team, and we want to make sure to encourage the mifold community to be supportive of our small team. If you write, a simple “thank you” is enough to brighten their day.
Check Backerkit and the Indiegogo Update Page First
Please check Backerkit for your shipping status, and then check Indiegogo for the latest mifold update, before emailing our team. We won’t have any further information about your order beyond what is posted there. We will let you know as soon as your order ships.
We have had a number of new individuals joining our community lately, so this is a reminder on our frequency of updates. We produce monthly updates on the development and shipping of mifold, linked here to our Indiegogo Page, and will continue to do so as new information comes in. Our Facebook Page is also an excellent resource for the latest updates, and I’m personally producing video content to help answer FAQs, so please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Revolutionary Change Takes Time
Please know this - by pre-ordering mifold, you are changing the car seat industry as we know it. We expected pushback from the “bigger guys,” and we are slowly winning out. Have faith in us - we are advocating on your behalf and on behalf of parents and caregivers everywhere who are tired of being forced to carry around bulky booster seats when they travel. By remaining committed to our cause, you are proof that this revolutionary safety system will become the norm across the world.
Sincerely,
Jon and the mifold Team
