The baby and child related world of products is truly littered with bold claims of "the must have essential", "ideal gadget" or "this will make your life easier". This BoostApak really does do all of those things.The problem this product solves is one that the majority of parents that travel will face at some point in their lives. If you are traveling abroad with young children and want to rent a car in your destination then rental companies will charge you an extortionate £30 to £40 a week to hire a child seat, even for a basic booster seat that you can pick up for less than £10 in your local supermarket. The problem with taking a booster seat with you (which is fine, airlines will not even charge you for it to be put in as hold baggage) is that it is one extra bulky item to worry about in an already stressful traveling environment of traveling with children. By combining this in to a bag the obvious advantage is that you can actually use it for storage space, replacing the kids bag that you would normally take with you. It really is that simple but sooooo convenient, saves time, money and hassle.In terms of the product itself, it is really easy to convert from a bag to a seat and it is really sturdy and robust when used as a seat, certainly much better than your £10 foam supermarket booster seat I mentioned above. I have found the build quality to be very good, this is our second BoostaPak and our previous 3 year old model is still in very good condition. it is a veteran of about 8 trips abroad and also gets used as our everyday booster seat in out car at home even when we are not traveling.Obviously this is only a booster seat so only really suitable from about 5 years old onwards. If your children are younger then I'm afraid you have no option but to either rent a baby or infant seat in your destination or preferably take one with you on the airplane (handy tip - you can do that, no airline (even budget) will charge you to check in a car seat).The only negative worth mentioning is that with the flat, stiff back this is a bit uncomfortable when used as a back pack, I guess this is one design limitation of combining a seat with a bag. Given the limited amount of time that you actually use this as a bag though, this has never been an issue for us. Also the slightly rough exposed bit of Velcro on the seat section of the earlier models is now covered in the later models.As a parent of 3 children I can quite honestly say this is the most useful bit of kit that we use and makes traveling so much easier. Looking forward to buying my third one in about 3 years time, this time in pink!

Bought 2 of these this last year when my sons started weighing over 15kg (at 2 and 4 y/o). Great when you travel a lot : in rented cars, taxis, buses or even as a spare children seat in your car... the backpack itself isn't really roomy but you'll fit enough games for a trip or a spare change of clothes + blanky. My two sons can't carry it, it's too heavy and bulky. But still, it fits its purpose and I like the restraint cable that allows the belt to stick beneath the throat. Practical : if it gets too dirty you can take out the liner to wash it (and yes, I've also used it as a booster to eat). It's quite easy to install, but it's good to "fit" it at home and also to look carefully at the manual in order not to stall the first time you use it ! The down side is that on a company like Easyjet they actually considered it as a backpack and not a carseat (carseats are free for children)... but I guess that tells us more on the company than the seat !Many of my friends found our Boostapak great and bought it for their children ! So I've recommended it a lot and everyone was pleased of their purchase.

Very nice design and practical solution for traveling. I bought it for my 6 year old and he loved it. Only downside is that it a bit heavy and my kids starts complaining after sometime. Otherwise I find it very useful.
