Of course! mifold car seats are legal and safe to use or buy in the UK. It’s permitted under the ECE R44/04 safety standard, suitable for children 4 years+, weighing between 15kg and 36kg, and up to 150cm tall.

mifold is filling a safety gap for those times when your child's regular car seat is simply not available: when your child is travelling in someone else’s car, taxi rides, transfers, when 3 seats don’t fit on the back seat of your car, when you pick up your child’s friends but don't have an extra seat, and so many more occasions.

Using the adult seatbelt alone on a child could do more harm than good.

mifold can ONLY be used in vehicles with a three-point static or retractable seatbelt that have been approved and compliant with UN/ECE No.16 or other equivalent standards.

A three-point seatbelt combines the lap belt with a diagonal belt across the chest.

Even though mifold Original is classified as a weight-based car seat and could be used by children who are within the weight limits of the product, we can never advise someone to use it for a child younger than 4 years of age due to concerns of the maturity of bones in children. Age 4 is the minimum age recommended by experts for when a child should transition from a five-point harness child restraint to a belt positioning booster seat (like mifold Original).

Absolutely! Our car seats are ideal for travelling. You can legally use the UK version of mifold Original anywhere in the UK and in every country in Europe.

It takes about 30 seconds to install a mifold car seat so that you’re not tempted to use the car seatbelt alone when you're in a hurry. Only adjust when you’re using it for the first time, with no more adjustments needed until your little one grows, meaning you’re ready for the next adventure!

IMPORTANT! There are just a few steps to prepare the mifold seat for use, but it’s important to follow them, check out our how-to videos or user manual.

mifold Original is designed to fit 3-in-a-row in the majority of cars. At its smallest width, mifold Original measures 28 cm and at its widest measures 37 cm.

Innovative placement technique isn’t the only safety feature that sets mifold Original apart. The framework is built with aircraft grade aluminium and SuperTough™ plastic polymers. Each component has been rigorously tested to ensure its longevity even under the most extreme use as a child car seat.

That probably depends on the child. If your child is used to a very cushy seat, it may be a big change to move to the mifold Original - try mifold Comfort instead. On the other hand, mifold Original is made of supportive DenseFoam with unique FrictionFabric™ that prevents slipping, stays cool on hot days and is easy to clean.
The DenseFoam is the same that is used in boxing gloves and tennis shoes - it’s meant to provide constant support to pressure points. The foam also extends all the way to the edge so there is no hard edge digging into the child’s body anywhere.
Many parents use mifold Original as their regular booster seat, traveling distances of all sorts.
