mifold Comfort Backless Booster Seat

Overview

Mifold's MF12 is a forward facing car seat rated to 100 lbs, weighing just 1.6 pounds and secured using the vehicle's seat belt rather than a base, aimed at the Kid age range.

At 1.6 pounds, this is far lighter than a standard car seat, which typically weighs 10 to 30 pounds, and it installs with the seat belt alone rather than a base or LATCH system. That combination points to a compact, portable design meant to travel rather than stay fixed in one car. The 100 lb weight capacity covers a wide range from younger kids through pre teens rather than infants.

• 1.6 lb total weight
• 100 lb weight capacity
• Seat belt only installation
• Forward facing, Kid age range

Who it's for

Parents who need a seat that packs small for grandparents' cars, rideshares or travel, rather than a permanent fixture in one vehicle, fit this lightweight, seat belt only design. Families with an infant or toddler still needing a rear facing seat should look elsewhere, since this is forward facing only for the Kid age range.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Seat belt only installation, without a base or LATCH connectors, is what keeps the weight down near 1.6 pounds and lets the seat fold flat for a bag. The tradeoff of that light, portable build is less structure than a padded, base mounted seat, though the 100 lb weight rating covers kids well past toddler size. Polypropylene construction keeps it light without needing the metal frame heavier seats use.
