With the RideSafer Travel Vest, rental car companies can offer parents the ability to rent a safe child restraint that’s foldable and stackable. In fact, the vest passed all the federal safety standards for child restraints, which are issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

The RideSafer Travel Vest is a foldable and safe alternative to a booster seat.

If a crash occurs, the vest keeps the child’s center of gravity low, and it has layers of energy absorbing materials in the front to help distribute the crash force over a larger part of the body compared to just a seat belt.

The RideSafer is easy to use in every vehicle. The child simply wears it like a vest, and the vehicle’s lap-shoulder seat belt goes through the guides on the vest.

With two sizes available, it is rated for children 3 years and older who weigh between 30 and 80 pounds.

In addition, the vest is comfortable for the child to wear and has no expiration date.
