The BubbleBum Booster Seat – The Travel Essential We Didn’t Know We Needed

When we first started planning our Balkan road trip, we knew we’d be hiring a car in Albania and Montenegro—and again later this year in Morocco. So one thing we absolutely had to sort out was a booster seat for Jax.
Now, you can rent booster seats from car hire companies like Green Motion, but the cost adds up fast. Most charge per day, which over 10+ days can end up costing more than the car hire itself. No thanks.
Instead, we went with the BubbleBum Inflatable Booster Seat—and honestly, it was brilliant. It’s just £34.99 on Amazon, and if you use our affiliate link, it won’t cost you a penny more, but it does help support our travels (or fund Jax’s next ice cream, let’s be honest).
Why We Loved It:
Lightweight & Compact: The BubbleBum Booster Seat packs down into a small drawstring travel bag, perfect for chucking in your luggage without taking up space.
Ridiculously Easy to Use: You just open the valve, blow it up (takes seconds), screw the valve shut, and boom—ready to go.
Comfy for Kids: Jax loved it. He said it was really comfy and he could still see out the window, which is all he really cares about.
Totally Safe: It meets all EU and US safety standards for Group 2/3 boosters (ages 4–11 or 15–36kg), and it feels really sturdy once it’s inflated and strapped in.
Stress-Free Travel: We didn’t have to worry about whether a car hire place had a booster available or whether it would be in decent condition. We just brought our own and used it in both Albania and Montenegro without a hitch. We’re also packing it for Morocco in September—it’s become a staple in our travel kit.
Honestly, for the price and convenience, it’s one of the best travel investments you will make for family trips. If you’re hiring a car abroad and travelling with kids, the BubbleBum is a game-changer.

Note: We were kindly gifted this booster seat but our opinions are honest
If you laughed, learned, or just love a good family adventure—feel free to Buy Us an Ice Cream. It keeps the blog posts coming and the sugar levels dangerously high. Cheers!
