Well hello there, safety supporters!
In case you missed it, we’ve been out and about the past few weeks, organizing orders, finalizing tests, and meeting with tons of parents who are excited to get their hands on mifold. We sent out a giant update for October through our email list, and just in case you missed something important, check out what we’ve been up to:
Don’t have enough time to watch that video? Here’s what you need to know: 1. We’re on track for our first deliveries in March 2016 2. We’ve crash tested over 100 samples in the US and in Europe 3. We’ve been unofficially given a “Best Bet Rating” by the IIHS (this is a huge milestone for us) 4. We’ve met with many of you at trade shows in Cologne, Germany, and Las Vegas, USA 5. And, yes, Jon’s been drinking lots of coffee
HUGE MILESTONE We’re so pumped to announce that mifold has gathered 10,000 backers. That kind of support is unbelievable, and we’re so grateful to all of you for it. We’d like to offer a special thank you to backer #10,000, Yumiko M. from Dublin, Ohio. Congratulations, Yumiko!!
INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY (IIHS) The IIHS has unofficially given mifold a A BEST BET rating (unofficially because mifold isn’t yet a purchasable production model). This means mifold provides good lap and shoulder belt fit for typical 4 to 8 year-olds in almost any car, minivan or SUV.
ABC SHOW The mifold team took a trip to the ABC show in sunny Las Vegas. Check it out:
CAR SEAT BLOG at the ABC SHOW We were lucky enough to run into the writers of the Car Seat Blog while in Vegas. They let us know they were “very excited and optimistic about the final product!” We are too, Carseatblog, we are too. Check out their post for a full review and user demonstration on their website here.
Thanks for choosing mifold, safety enthusiasts! We’ll keep you up to date on more progress as it unfolds!

Hi, mifold fans!
We have come a long way since the beginning of the campaign, and want to thank you again for all of your early support. We are committed to providing you with regular production updates as we work to bring mifold to you. See below for our prototype scrapbook!
This month, we are finalising the last round of designs in consultation with safety experts from around the world. This is to ensure that we have the required safety certifications, as well as a design that meets each country’s standards. We’re excited to bring this to you in the coming months.
We are also getting the chance to check out other great projects that are crowdfunding. One that really impressed us was the Qliplet, a really ingenious modified carabiner with a folding, rotating hook, created by a mom and mountain climber who needed more free hands for everyday life.
The Qliplet team is offering a special deal to our backers: any backer can get two Qliplets for $25 (a $5 savings) or get a Titanium one for just $40 (a $10 savings). Tell your friends about their campaign.
All you have to do is:
1) for the 2 Qliplet deal, pre-order one for $15 then add a custom amount of $10 (if you want 4, add $35, if you want 6 add, $60 and so on) 2) for the Titanium deal, order one regular Qliplet for $15 and add $25 custom amount.
