Hi there, backers!

Good news! We hit the $500k mark, and that means we’ve unlocked another stretch goal. Congrats on unlocking the “If found, please return to” goal; we know a feature like this will come in handy on your mifold. Especially since: 

1. Kids misplace things (even parents do at times) - this new feature will help locate lost mifiolds.

2. If you order more than one mifold, this can also help differentiate your mifolds - write each child’s name and put an end to your kids fighting over which one is theirs.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Q: How does it compare to a regular booster?

A: A regular booster seat lifts the child to be in the position of an adult. mifold does the exact opposite, instead of lifting the child up it holds the seatbelt down. It does this at three points: there are belt guides on either side of the child's hips, to hold the lap belt correctly against the bones and off the soft stomach. These belt guides are adjustable to three sizes to make sure that the belt is always held snugly in place. There is a third clip on a strap that pulls the seatbelt chest strap down correctly onto the bones of the shoulder; away from the face and neck. So like a regular booster, mifold holds the seat belt in exactly the correct position on the bones of the hips and the bones of the shoulder, without needing a big, bulky seat to lift the child. In a collision, the child is protected in the same way. mifold simply works to hold the adult seatbelt correctly on a child.

Q: Is mifold comfortable?

A:  During the development we have had carloads of children (and parents) using mifold and they really do love it. The comfort comes from two places: there is a foam fabric layer on the product that provides cushioning, keeps the seat cool in hot cars and prevents sweating. In addition, when the child sits on mifold, it pushes down into the actual car seat providing additional comfort, support and cushioning. This is exactly the same as with a regular booster seat. They only have a thin layer of foam/fabric on a plastic/styrofoam base and most of the comfort comes from the underlying car seat (the same thing happens with a hard-backed book … try it!)
