I have the bubble bum which I love for travel but you have to hook your seat belt through the side hook and is a pain for the kids..is this the same?

This does have slots that the belt needs to go through, but my daughter doesn't complain about it often.

Yes you do... The belt must be anchored by something rigid or the seat can't position the belt correctly. For the smaller travel seats without bulky armrests that double as belt positioners, I think the hooks are the only real eay to go.That being said, the hooks for the Incognito go on easily and my 10-year-old has no trouble doing it himself. I've never used the Bubnle Bum to compare, but I don't see it as an obstacle. And this is a kid who is all gross motor and has never been good with fine motor tasks.

I didn't try the kiddopotamus snuzzler, but this is different it's not meant to be on a car seat. Just the carrier. There is a bottom padding for babies little tushies that will make it hard to adjust the car seat's belt. Hope this helps.

I use the system daily in taxis in Singapore, I do not use the teather just the seatbelt. I have also used it in Thailand. I have not had any issues with it. It is very convenient and portable.

Hello Rick. I don't even use the straps. If you intend to keep the airhawk on your seat all the time then by all means, use the strap, but it's a pain to take it off and put it on in case you don't want it stolen or for it to get wet or hot. The airhawk has loops on all corners for the straps and they seem to be sewed in well and gets secured very well on the seat. I just put the airhawk on my seat and adjust it to a position I like and just sit on it. In fact, its advantageous simply because you can readjust it even on the go. It does not slide. The bottom part has a non skid material and my corbin seat is not as slick as the factory seat. I carry mine sometimes in restaurants or just stick it in my saddle bag. I don't ride without the airhawk anymore. I've taken several weekend and week long trips up to 3k miles and realized how much it helped me. If you ride long trips, you will feel a significant difference. I use it 90% of the time. I will get on my corbin occasionally just to change butt pressure. As to how to air it, I would suggest for you to go to youtube. Theres a great instructional video there. I followed it and every now and then I would blow in a bit more air or let out some just to change my seating pressure and ride a few more hundred miles. As to the height adjustment, it was noticeable for the first few hundred miles, but after a few months, I adapted to it. Being higher seemed to put a bit more strain on my midback, that's when I take it off 10% of the ride including doing a few more stretches of my midback. I don't think you'd regret getting it and probably will endorse it as well. Good luck. Gene (vonlushka@hotmail.com)

I carry my son in mine pretty often, but not for long amounts of time. Probably no more than 20 minutes. He is 30lbs, so not quite as big as your child. I think the Boba distributes the weight really well. I don't feel any pain when I carry him. It feels more like a weight pulling me back, like a turtle with a shell, but not to the point where it is painful. Idk where you are from, but there are baby wearing groups near me that hold meetings so that you can try out different carriers. I found a group on Facebook. That may be a way to try before you buy.

Hi Jennifer B! As Jack's Mom and TOPLEusne confirmed, all car seats when used with a Bumbleride are parent facing. Thank you for your question!

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

No, most booster style seats just sit on the seat, and the child uses the regular seat belt. It's a nice seat, mt son has been using it for about a year now. No complaints, but a little pricey :/

Happens to me too often. Seat belts do it. This one too. I still use it but take the phone out in the csr. Dunno whether that helps, but the metal clip in the middle seems to stop the other side loop from tearing out. Fwiw.

Mine is pretty tight but I think its mostly just to keep the seat from flying around when the kid isn't in it.

I find it kind of cumbersome to use when switching from car to car. I can imagine having to carry through an airport. Love the seat, but it took a little bit for me to get it down to a science. If you have an infant u may want to use a cradle car seat instead.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

The seat is not padded but my son would sometimes jump an hour straight and then he would keep sitting there playing with the toys. I've also known two parents who said their child fell asleep in theirs and one had a picture. Every baby is different so pay attention to things like putting diapers on that may be a little tight or adjusting the crotch belt in their car seat because of sensitivity. Overall, my son loved his Jumperoo and I'm so happy I bought one for him.

Yes, this really works best using the seatbelt. Plus the latch isn't recommended once hour child reaches a certain weight.

Not at all. Super light with a hand strap to carry. I just put it in my reusable bags. All you have to do it open it and line up the feet holes. Baby goes in then you can adjust it. Has little loops for toy attachment. I really love it. So much more fun and open then a car seat.

At this time, we use the 5 point harness. Therefore we don't use the seatbelt to hold the carseat in place. The carseat does have hooks that latch into the hooks which are in the seat of our car. The seat is securely in place and we are very happy with it. Hope this helps.

We carried it on very easily, though we're did double it up in our car seat bag with our younger child's FAA-compliant seat, which was in use in the plane. It's extremely lightweight, though, so if you have a bag it fits in, it doesn't make things ungainly. I've never used the Bubble Bum, but have heard from others that it's pretty uncomfortable. This one got no such complaints.
