Today, in at least 25% of child journeys, the child travels without a suitable child restraint often because traditional child restraints are too big and bulky to practically carry from car to car: for example on vacations, when carpooling, in taxis and with grandparents, etc. The booster seats produced by mifold meet or exceed regulation NHTSA FMVSS 213. The compact portability of our products make them convenient for use on all journeys, especially those where traditional car seats are not available. We are members of JPMA (the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association) and support their position that “proper use of restraint systems is the best defense against injury, regardless of the cause of a crash. Children are always safer when riding in a car seat than without.”
The mifold grab-and-go booster seat is regulated under the most universally accepted global car booster seat regulations, specifically:
European Union ECE R44/04; FMVSS 213 in the United States, and the RSSR regulations in Canada. Carfoldio Ltd., (the Company that manufactures mifold) has conducted comprehensive test programs in test facilities certified for each of these standards to confirm compliance with each of these regulations. You can find the relevant information about each of these on this page.
Carfoldio is dedicated to providing high quality products utilizing premium raw materials and detailed quality assurance procedures.

Carfoldio is committed to providing our customers with a mifold grab-and-go booster seat that is high quality, functional, and portable that meets the needs of active families.
Based on our comprehensive testing of the product, Carfoldio has verified and can certify that testing of mifold has been completed successfully with all tests yielding results that either meet or exceed the requirements of the applicable regulation FMVSS 213.

It is mandatory to use child car seats within the EU for all children up to a height of 1.35m or 1.50m – depending on the rules applicable in each member state.
There are currently two legal standards for child car seats in Europe:
what type of seat is mifold? The mifold grab-and-go booster seat is a Group 2/3 “Universal” child restraint system which means that the mifold can be used in most vehicles. It has been approved in accordance with European regulation ECE R44.04. The mifold booster seat is covered by ECE R44/04. To meet ECE R44/04 approval car seats are tested in frontal collisions at 50km/h using crash test P-dummies and advanced measuring instruments designed to assess the levels of protection each seat offers. ECE R44/04 approved seats can all be identified by their orange approval label.
