Trunki BoostApak | Kid's Travel Backpack and Portable Child Car Booster Seat | Group 2-3 | Ages 4 – 12 Years (Pink)

Easy backpack for holidays. Saves travelling with huge car seats. Minor point is the bag is relatively heavy even when empty

I can't wait to take this to London for our first outing! Love that I can pack for overnight and snacks separately too! Fantastic item!

We now have two of these, I was waiting for my youngest to reach the right weight. One green, one pink. We can now travel by plane without a massive Britax car seat for the hire car at the other end. Hurraaaaaaaaah!!It is quite heavy on its own (that's because you want it to be sturdy), and since you probably don't expect a very little one to carry your allowed 7kg of hand luggage in there, you might be happy to know that although it's not massive, snacks, a few colouring books and beloved comforters and a water bottle will definitely find their spot in there.The mesh pocket inside could do with being a single pocket, not a skinny one you can only keep the instructions in and a larger one. The instructions could be printed onto the fabric itself, on the opposite side, save the trees, people, save the trees!The mesh on the inside of the straps do prevent the bag from slipping, however, it is painful when the children are wearing tank tops, and to be honest, when you're traveling and the kids start kicking up a fuss about that when you're already carrying the equivalent of a 49ft container in your hand luggage, you have your laptop bag over your shoulder, your boarding passes and passports between your teeth, your handbag around your neck, and the security guys ask you to remove your shoes, and stick your electronics in the tray for the scanner, you may want to curse at those lovely Trunky people... But then you remember what it was like to get a Britax birth to 18kg seat THROUGH the scanner itself, and you're ready to hang those Boostapaks around your big toe instead of telling the kids to JUST GET ON WITH IT!!Do get one. It's a great thing to have.Edit: one year on a strap broke. I had to sew it back on, do watch out. Still love them!

The reviews that say this product is large and on the heavy side are correct. It is large, but it fit on my tall five-year old's back, and it's the right size to fit under a young child's bottom and elevate them to a safe point for a car's seatbelt. It is also a touch heavy, because the backpack/seat is constructed with a plastic shell and guiding arms that feel pretty solid and sturdy.We took the advice of other reviews and kept the load in the backpack light for my daughter -- a couple of books, some coloring pencils, and a stuffed toy were doable for her, and she was able carry the pack herself through the airport. Once in the car, the pack's guiding arms kept the seatbelt in our rental car exactly where it needed to be on her lap. The strap kept the belt at the right point on her shoulder. It also did its job in the car, under some mild stress -- I had to slam on the brakes a couple of times, unfortunately, for different reasons. The booster kept the seatbelt positioned properly, and the seatbelt made no marks on her.I was very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend this product to anyone who needs a booster seat and can't, for whatever reason, check a high-backed one safely as luggage.

A lifesaver for frequent travellers. A decent quality child seat that doubles up as a backpack.We travel a fair bit and, as is usually the case we end up on budget airlines so try to pack just hand luggage. Not so much to avoid the cost of checking in luggage (you can still usually check in child car seats for free), but mainly to avoid having to join the horrific Ryanair check in queues just to check in a couple of car seats.As these seats are backpacks with straps and fall within even the tightest airline hand baggage restrictions we take them as the carry on items for the kids. They weigh under a kilo so even when you fill up the storage also, older kids should have no problems carrying them. The storage area is not huge but big enough to fit in a weekend's clothing and shoes for a child.We found these whilst searching for ways to avoid paying the car rental agency seat rental costs which can be around £10 a day. So by buying these for £40 odd they paid for themselves on a long weekend's trip.The kids are 4 and 2 (a sturdy 2 year old!) and they both liked the seats and looked safe and secure. The seats are easy to install into a car. The side supports pop up and seem very solid and the seatbelt fits over the child as normal but hooks under the side supports. The 'booster' part of the seats make even smaller children tall enough to wear the seatbelt safely.

Used for travel on holiday bought two for a 4 and 6 year old strap allows proper adjustment of the seatbealt so it doesn't cut into their neck and sits across the shoulder. Both kids could put their favourite Teddy, blanket and a few snacks into the bags for the aeroplane. Very pleased with this product. 😊

4 year old loves the cat design and significantly cheaper than hiring car seats on holiday.Easy to install, bit still feels strong and secure to keep your child safe.

This product is incredible when the alternative is no car seat. I had my 3&5 year old on these when we were in and out ofTaxis on holiday and everyone commented on how fantastic they were … easy to use, and ensured the seat belt fit them properly.
