Comfort The mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat is
engineered to protect children from the age of 4 and up. The
patented design takes the seatbelt off the stomach and the neck,
making it comfortable, safe and easy to use. The supportive
DenseFoam with unique FrictionFabric prevents slipping, stays
cool on hot days and is easy to clean.
Ease of Use The mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat can
be adjusted to securely restrain children of all sizes. The lap
belt guides have three adjustments and the QuickClip allows
quick, easy and accurate adjustment for children of all sizes as
well as simple, one-handed use, without having to look. Carloads
of kids and parents are using their mifold starts and they love
it!
ADVANCED Made with super tough plastic polymers like Delrin 100
ST from Dupont, aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum and supportive
DenseFoam with FrictionFabric; top designers, engineers and
industry experts have created the mifold Grab-and-Go booster
seat. The most advanced booster seat ever invented.
COMPACT and PORTABLE The mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat is more
than 10x smaller that a regular booster seat and just as safe*.
Measuring only 10”, by 4½”, by 2” and weighing less than 1¾
pounds, a child can easily keep one with them at all times.
Drivers can keep spare boosters, without cluttering up their car
and losing baggage space.
SAFE The mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat is safety tested and
meets or exceeds the US-based Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard: FMVSS 213 as defined by NHTSA (the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration). International versions also meet
or exceed ECE R44.04 in the EU, and RSSR from Transport Canada.
Instead of lifting the child up, mifold holds the seatbelt down.
About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.
Advanced Compact Portable
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
In 2001, I had a vision to create a child car safety seat that
was so compact and portable that my children could keep one with
them all the time and be safe, no matter whose car they were in.
This vision came from my own need. Our children were often in
other people’s cars without safety seats: especially when we were
carpooling with local families for the school run. I thought, if
I could make a booster that was really small and really tough -
one that could easily be taken everywhere - then our children
could always be safe, no matter whose car they are in. It took a
few years, and now my children are too old for booster seats, so
I am delighted that other parents and caregivers are benefitting
from the invention.
What makes your product special?
mifold is special because it is the most advanced, compact, and
portable child car safety seat ever invented.
mifold is more than 10x smaller than a regular booster seat, and
just as safe. mifold is completely different to all other Child
Restraint Systems and succeeds in being so compact and portable
by completely redefining the way booster seats work.
Regular booster seats lift the child up to be in the position of
an adult; mifold does the exact site: instead of lifting the
child up, it holds the seatbelt down (it’s that simple). The
patented design takes the seat belt of the stomach and the neck,
making safe, comfortable and easy to use. If the child does not
need to be lifted, then the booster can be flat. If it can be
flat, then it can be folded, making it both compact and portable.
mifold is the size of a paperback book: 10” long and 2” thick,
it is less that 4 and a half inches wide when folded and weighs
less than 1.8 pounds. This incredibly small, tough device is
achieved using super tough plastic polymers (such as Delrin 100ST
from Dupont) and 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminium. Top designers,
engineers, and industry experts together have created mifold. It
is protected by U.S. Pat. No. 9,376,088 with various other
patents and design registrations granted or pending.
With mifold there is no longer any excuse. With a compact and
portable device, a child can easily keep one with them all the
time and drivers can keep spares, without cluttering up a car and
losing cabin or luggage space. With mifold, a child can always be
safe no matter whose car they are in.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The most rewarding moments come when children, parents and other
caregivers tells how much the love and appreciate mifold. Today,
tens of thousands of children are riding more safely in cars than
before they received their mifold Grab-and-Go booster seat.
The best part of the experience is working with such a
wonderful, motivated and dedicated team. The mifold employees,
our industrial designers, mechanical engineers, material
scientists, manufacturing partners, supply chain and logistic
experts and sales people, retailers and distributors, are all
focused on the same vision. The knowledge that together we are
improving the safety of children in cars, and can help reduce the
number of injuries and deaths worldwide, is wonderful. This is
why we all come to work in the morning. I had a vision 15 years
ago. Today it is a reality.
