Best of Baby Unique Standout: Bombol Pop-Up Booster

Heading out to eat with a booster seat under your arm may not have been top of mind pre-COVID. Most kids’ booster seats are bulky, and many family -friendly eateries will happily loan you one. But with our collective hyper-awareness of germs now, you may be in the market for a seat to take on the go. Allow us to introduce you to the Bombol Pop-Up Booster, an editor favorite. While many booster seats are designed for tots 18 months and up, this one can be used for babies as young as 6 months of age thanks to an ingenious design and a five-point safety harness. The booster folds flat for travel and instantly transforms into a 3D seat in seconds. It slides into an envelope pouch, which also doubles as a seat cover, and is lightweight enough to tote in your already-full diaper bag. No joke. Best of all, it’s no match for a mess—no cracks for crumbs to linger in, and the odor- and stain-proof seat wipes completely clean.
