mifold - the Grab-and-Go Booster Seat ...
This video explains how to use your mifold seat.
mifold is the most advanced, compact and portable child car safety seat in the world. It’s more than 10x smaller than a regular booster and it’s just as safe.
How’s that possible? Well, a regular booster lifts a 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’s that simple. mifold is engineered to protect children from the age of 4 all the way up to 12. Mifold has been approved in the USA meeting and exceeding the expectations of FMVSS 213, while in the EU it meets and exceeds the ECE R44.04 regulations.
The patented design takes the seat belt off the stomach and the neck, making it comfortable, safe and easy to use. Carloads of kids and parents already tried and they love it. - Фільми й анімація
I don't understand why there are so many dislikes, for such a clear explanation about how to use a product.
Adrian, thanks for the comment. Sorry I missed it when you posted a while ago. We make every effort to provide clear and detailed instruction videos and, even though this makes them a bit long and 'dry' we have lots of feedback about how useful they are.
We just took our mi-folds on vacation with us. It was great when we had to take an Uber from the airport to the hotel as most Uber's and taxi's do not carry car seats. The kids could carry them in their backpacks. When we rented a car, it was easy when we needed to fit an adult in between them. Usually, there is no room. The kids loved it. It takes a few times to get used to the whole process, my 6 year old daughter had trouble getting out. but, other than that, we were very pleased.
Thanks for the comment and we are glad to have helped you enjoy your trip.
Great product! We've been using it in our vehicles, and it's much more convenient than other boosters when the kidlets need to transfer from one vehicle to the other. Also, we were able to easily take them along with us when flying (except the one time TSA inspected our kids' bags because they didn't know what the mifold was... hahaha!). Friends and family are impressed with the mifolds, and I recommend them all the time when other parents take notice.
Thanks for the feedback and for the recommendations. mifold is really convenient, I know when I travel, I prefer to travel light!
Great product and we just received, and used, our mifold last night. My little guy loved it and thought it was so cool that he could take it with him! One thought for improvement would be to create a snap or holder for the seatbelt shoulder strap for easy storage. The carry bag is great and we just shove it in but having a specific place for it to be wrapped around and tucked into (like the instructions) would be awesome. Version 2.0! Great job and thank you for making a great product.
Thanks for the feedback, please share some photos on our social media pages! Also the ideas ... we listen to all comments and you never know, we may well see some of them in future versions.
Thank you for inventing this, it's not practical and cheap for us to buy a vehicle so we uber often and it's very hard to maneuver with a small child and 50kg conventional car seat
Hi! We appreciate your feedback - it is always lovely to hear when a family is delighted with our products. We are pleased that it has been a good solution for your travel needs!
I'm taking my stepson to the DMV tomorrow. My wife has one of these. I'm lightweight scared to take my son in an uber. I'll update because the lil man knows how to use this better than I do
And the ride went ridiculously well!! 10/10 in my book. He kept it in his bag himself. Love this thing!
Thank you for letting us know! We are always delighted to hear when mifold provides a solution to family travel situations!
Great product I bought 3 of them and my kids are loving it
Thanks for the feedback ... we're delighted and you are joining tens of thousand of people worldwide who love their mifold Grab-and-Go booster seats! Please post some photos to our social media pages.
Tengo dos y son ideales para viajes cortos. En viajes largos, encuentro es un poco duro
Great product, I’m going to try our first trip today :)
Have fun! We are sure you will enjoy it. Please feel free to share a video here, or on our social media channels.
Need some lock to avoid folding back while on seat, and need some clip to hook on the tether to prevent sliding...
There's no way that this could attach to the tether anchor, but it would be helpful if this had LATCH anchors to hold it in place for when this is used as an everyday seat. If LATCH anchors we're added onto this they still wouldn't work in all seats however because some LATCH anchors are placed in some really strange places, and few vehicles have more than two rear seating positions with them.
3:51 simply deform & contort your hand
Thank you for your comment. I just watch that moment again to see what you are talking about. I can see why you could think that, it does look like a bit of a struggle for half-a-second! However, rest assured, the shoulder belt guide strap glides smoothy through the belt adjustment clip and it locks nicely in place.
Thanks for the laugh! I didn't notice, but going back and looking at that, jeez that's funny!
Where can we find this in Singapore? Babytaxi no longer carries because your supply chain broke, they said.
How can I make the shoulder strap clip at the top, tight on the belt? When closed, the gap is so wide that it slips up and down on the belt. Thanks!
Instruction manual.
Is it confortable for long rides? It look very hard. But very interesting to se on taxis and while carpooling.
One of our priorities has been to design mifold to be comfortable as well as safe and easy to use. We have had carloads of children (and parents) using mifold and they really do love it. In a recent study, most users find the mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat very comfortable.
The comfort comes from three design and engineering factors:
(i) We use a unique EVA DenseFoam™(Ethylene-vinyl acetate) to provide constant support at the pressure points. EVA is typically used as a shock absorber in sports shoes and boxing gloves.
(ii) The foam fabric pad extends to the edge of the seat to ensure there is no hard edge. And
(iii) the child’s weight is designed to sink the entire mifold seat into the vehicle cushion, levelling out the two surfaces and minimising the edge effect. All our adult employees have sat on mifold for several days in the office and we are very happy with the performance.
But the lap belt guides don't stay in position. They easily slide back to the storage position -- just whilst adjusting the right guide, the left guide slides back.
Then you did not lock them. Operator error.
15-36kg weight limits. What about the height?
Manual is extremely hard to comprehend. Please make one with step by step instructions. I know it's easy when you have figured it out but prior to that, needs good instructions.
AmmoniaFlows … thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you find the manual complicated. We do try to make the instructions as clear and straightforward as possible, while at the same time making sure that we comply with all the legal and regulatory requirements. I am please that you have found this video, which should help you with the product. We will ask our product team to review the manual with your feedback in mind and it will be helpful to us if you can go into more detail with the problematic areas, so that we can focus our efforts. Please can I ask you to follow up at support@mifold.com and mention our conversation here on UA-cam 'mifold "How To" video: Full Version'. Thank you.
@@Mifold ok... Will do.
Told where it can be used, that weight it can be used, how to use it but when it came to height of the child i have to check the manual? So I have to buy this then to find out my little man is too short lol. Very interested so please if anyone has this info...help me out. Thanks and stay blessed
Hi Koufaf. mifold is designed for children aged from 4 years old and up. Car seat regulations are different in each country and can be quite confusing: they can be based upon age, weight, height or a combination of all three.
In the USA and in Canada, mifold is designed for children weighing from 40 Ibs to 100 lbs (18kg to 45kg) and measuring 40 to 57 inches tall (102cm to 145cm). Please contact support@mifold if you have any further questions!
An interesting video but it would be useful if you had subtitles. Thanks.
Suzie hi, thank you for your feedback. You can see the subtitles, but clicking/tapping on the video player and selecting the 'CC' icon for closed captions. Please let us know if you have any other questions by writing to support@mifold.com. Thank you.
@@Mifold Ah great thanks. We used the mifold in a van we hired yesterday it was perfect! My child is 6 but 135cm and he has out grown his car seat. This was just perfect for him. Thank you 😁
@@suzieharwood5581 Wonderful …. thank you for sharing. Please feel free to share some photos on our social media channels.
Except it'll suck for long distance trips. I'm still getting 2 though. 🤷🏽♂
That is not the feedback we get from most of our customers. Please do try and let us have the feedback from the kids after a long drive.
Hi, Can you please tell me where I can order to deliver to Perth Australia. Thanks
The mifold range of grab-and-go booster seats and hifold fit-and-fold highback booster seats are not available in Australia.
Although the mifold seats are globally regulated, this does not cover Australia. The Australian regulations are completely different the the international UNECE regulations, and to the US (FMVSS213), Canadian (CMVSS213) and Chinese (CCC) ones.
To comply will require a complete reengineering and unfortunately the market size does not justify having a unique product for a population of only 25-million people.
We would love to sell our products to Australians, and we recommend that you lobby your government to bring the Australian child passenger safety regulations in line with the rest of the world.
i know it says it's for kids 4 years and up, 15kg above. but now my toddler (2 years old) is resisting car seat. will he fit in this better than not using anything at all? i know it is still not safe and not following the rules
The mifold grab-and-go booster seat is only recommended for use on children over the age of 4-years old. Under that age, children's bones are not sufficiently developed to be strong enough to withstand the forces of a seat belt. Children should continue to be restrained in a seat with a five-point harness for as long as possible before transitioning to any booster seat, and ideally only once they have outgrown their infant seat.
do you have a 1-minute version of this video? having a video with less marketing would be a useful tool when sending off the kids on playdates with their mifold, having our friends use it and seeing how easy it is to use (in 1 minute or less) it's the best marketing anyone can get
Really? There was nothing but simple instruction that was straight to the point.
Hi Caro Yes we have a 1 minute video. Please use this link ua-cam.com/video/lfHvzP-CPsE/v-deo.html. Kind regards
You can also tell your friends to watch from 2:20 - 5:20. Mifold does have a 1 minute version, but I prefer this one because it has vocal instructions and the other one does not.
Is it comfortable?
Hi Mou Merry thank you for the question. More than 500,000 parents and caregivers around the world are regularly using mifold seat with children in their cars. Research among long-time users shows that that vast majority say their seat is either comfortable or very comfortable.
The comfort comes from three design and engineering factors:
(i) We use a unique EVA DenseFoam™ (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) to provide constant support at the pressure points. EVA is typically used as a shock absorber in sports shoes and boxing gloves.
(ii) The foam fabric pad extends to the edge of the seat to ensure there is no hard edge. And,
(iii) The child’s weight is designed to sink the entire mifold seat into the vehicle cushion, levelling out the two surfaces and minimizing the edge effect.
When we receive feedback saying that mifold is uncomfortable we often find this is a result of misuse. The seat should be placed flat on the vehicle seat as shown in the instruction manual and videos (www.mifold.com/instructions)
If you are still having problems, please send over a video and pictures of your children sitting down on the seat. Our product experts will review there and identify any issues.
mifold is completely different from all other booster seats and it can take a few journeys for kids to get used to it.
Does it only boost an inch?
Hi - The mifold range of grab-and-go booster seats positions the child on the vehicle seat, and improves to fit of the seat belt lap belt and shoulder belt.
mifold achieves the equivalent improvement in seat belt fit to traditional booster seats, through its unique and patented adjustable belt guides, without needing the same seat height adjustment.
The vertical boost is between one and two inches depending on the mifold version (there are four, you can see them all at mifold.com).
@@Mifold Thank you for your reply kind sir. This can go on my shopping list ☺️
@@Millymollymandy121 @Em T You will join nearly one and a half million parents and other caregivers around the world who enjoy the ultra-compact, portable safety of the mifold range of grab-and-go booster seats and hifold fit-and-fold highback booster seats 🙂
There was no mention of the Canadian regulations passed.
We have full regulatory approval in Canada, you can see more on this link: www.mifold.com/regulatory-approval/
On Brasil, Fold is similiar to the word "Fode", whick mean "fuck" in English. Hahahaha
Renan … thank you for this message! We will take it into account with new names.
I want something more easier than this. Why can’t they invent something that utilizes the car actual seatbelts and make it easier for the child to clip themselves in and out. 😭
Make seat belts TRULY adjustable? That would be thinking! And a whole lot of money and engineering. Which is most likely why they haven't done this. I'm an expired CPST, but I try to stay up to date, and my 4 kids range from almost 15 to 12 months old, so I've had a LOT of experience in the last decade and a half with car seats and fitting them into vehicles properly. I can assure you that the first step toward this would be for the dang auto manufacturers and car seat manufacturers to ACTUALLY work together, because the incompatibilities between the two abound! And a lot of incompatibilities aren't even listed in the owners manuals of the car seats! Finding the right seat to fit both your child AND your vehicle, knowing all the intricacies and long list of incompatibilities that exist, makes the WHOLE ordeal a headache and a half!
What person has an empty glove box!? 7:15
Ha ha ... yes we have seen some very full ones. But in most cases, ever with the usual papers and bits and pieces the mifold seat still fits in. But if you don't have room there, you can use a door or seat-back pocket, the trunk or any other storage location :-)
gmonay2k 😂😂
I don't think is safe for a 4 year old I think is better and safer for a 6 year and up
Well, luckily for the rest of us, we don't have to give a fuck about what you think.
My four year old is still in 5 point harness
this is stupid. You might as well let the child child in the seat.
Hi Ashley. Thanks of your comment. All booster seats are designed to restrain a child with the adult seat belt, by correctly positioning the lap belt across the top of the thighs, against the pelvis and the chest belt of the clavicle.
A regular booster seat does this by lifting the child up, to be in the position of an adult so that the belts fit correctly. mifold does the exact opposite, instead of lifting the child up it holds the seatbelt down to fit correctly.
mifold does this at three points: there are two belt guides on either side of the child's hips, to hold the lap belt correctly 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 clavicle; 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 works by adjusting the adult seatbelt to correctly fit the child. By using mifold you are ensuring that your car's seat belt fits your child. Let us know if you require any further explanation by writing to us at support@mifold.com. Thanks
Ashley Perceval do you even watch the video before you start talking
These look dangerous to use. Belt should be tight over the waist not the legs. Crash testing probably never done. Kid's will fly right outta these.
Hi Anagnorisis. Thanks for your comment. The mifold booster car seat conforms to the most universally accepted global booster car seat regulations: European Union ECE R44.4; FMVSS 213 in the United States, and the RSSR regulations in Canada. mifold has been crash tested multiple times in testing facilities around the world (including MGA in the USA,Tass International in Holland and PMG in Canada) , and has successfully complied with the performance requirements of all these regulations. mifold is the most advanced, compact and portable booster ever invented. It is completely different to all other car seats and redefines the way booster seats work and appear; especially the routing of the vehicle seat belt. The lap belt is designed to be low on the hips and contacting the top of the thighs, which has been shown to be very safe. People who are used to seeing the lap-belt routing with a regular booster seat, sometimes comment that the routing with mifold is ‘too low’. This is not the case. As mentioned we have crash tested mifold in different crash test facilities worldwide. From all of these tests we have clearly demonstrated that the belt routing (low on the hips and contacting the top of the thighs) is effective and comparable to the performance of regular seats. The fact that the lap belt is held so snugly to the child combined with the friction layer of fabric on the seat cushion, keeps the child and the seat together and ensures that the lap belt always engages the hips correctly. We hope that this explains the seat belt fit but do please contact support@mifold.com if we can be of any further assistance.
Belt should NOT be on the waist. Seen some videos of kids that end up with colostomy bags after a crash because of this misunderstanding. Think about it a bit and it makes sense. You don't want all the force of stopping your forward momentum on your belly and intestines. You want it on your rig cage and your thigh bones
