Reviews for Safe Traffic Systems Ride Safer Vest

I bought this for my son he is very low tone and needs trunk support. He has a special needs car seat but needed something to ride in other cars. When we got it I placed it on him and went to the Highway Patrol office to make sure everything was OK. They said it was a great fit and safer than a regular booster seat. I bought the smaller one for my daughter and had it checked also for fit and safety. Both kids love their vests.

What a great buy these vests were. I bought 2 for my kids that we took on cruise vacation last week. I was able to fit them both in a backpack, which i carried on the plane and easily took on and off the ship in the different ports of call. How much nicer than toting around car or booster seats!

We bought this to use on a trip where we would be flying and in several different vehicles. The directions where not as straight forward as directions for a carseat. For example, in some senarios it needs to be tethered, but not tethered in others. It never seemed very tight on our child, and her dresses were crumpled by the strap between her legs. Turns out we couldn't use it in any of the vehicles we rode in during our 2 week trip. We ended up buying a booster seat just for use while we were there. It was frustrating, to say the least. Part of the problem was that we were riding in vehicles without anchors to teether to, and our daughter was just barely tall enough to use the vest in the first place. I am sure it is usefull for some, but I prefer a foldable booster set.

This is an excellent and well designed product. We constantly use taxis in New York (where we live) and travel frequently, and were not comfortable with our 4 year old using the adult seatbelt without a booster. We have used this vest numerous times and I am very happy with the ease of use and its apparent safety. We use the lap belt and the top tether in a taxi and my son seems very secure. He also likes wearing it. Regards Kylie

I bought this for my 4-yr-old daughter for a vacation and it is one of the best investments I've made. She loves to use it because she's not in a car seat plus it fits in our carry on bag for the plane and allows enough room for a third person in the car. We also use it for carpooling and between the grandparents' cars.

I use the on my 8 yr old Son he loves it. Its his big boy car seat to keep him safe he says. Buy it you wont be dispionted...

I purchased this just before we flew to Michigan. It was such a breeze on the planes. My special needs child wore it through the plane terminals so I wasn't carrying a big diaper bag, a car seat and misc items while traveling out of state. I had no worries if this vest was going to work in my friend's car, my son's Jeep or their Durango. It takes up minimal space (the size of the child) so you can sit 3 on a bench seat which is nearly impossible to do with a traditional car seat. My ONLY complaint is that the shoulder clasp doesn't allow enough movement for easy placement of the car's shoulder restraint belt. A minor adjustment to that and it would be perfect. NOW if I could get my child to NOT help me buckle her in it would be awesome. I had no worries whether she could manipulate the clasps and get out of the vest, which was why I needed to switch from a traditional car seat.

We loved this product for our twins and packed them easily into their suitcases and put them into our rental car in Hawaii. We wish we had them went we went to Europe when we had a vastly inferior product. Back at home, it's great back-up should a little pal from preschool need to go home via our car, too!
