I just wanted to send a thank you for helping me protect my daughter in a nasty car accident on Jan. 23, 2026. I was traveling to town and hit a patch of black ice, ditched the car, slammed into a tree, boulder and rolled twice. An accident that could've killed her. However, between the safety features of my car and using the ride safer travel vest and booster my daughter not only lived but only had a tiny bump on her head. Your safety vest was my go to as a transition between an actual car seat and a booster seat. So thank you for helping me keep her safe during such a bad accident. I've recommended you guys to friends but plan on doing more so because of this."

We originally purchased the ride safer vests because we were having our 5th child in a 7 person minivan, the vests were much better priced than a new van. Our family and friends were skeptical... Then on Christmas Eve we traveled down the interstate to see family. The roads were not too bad, though slightly icy. Suddenly there was a section of the passing lane covered with thick slushy ice that pulled at the wheels and sent us into a wild fishtail through the driving lane, back to the passing lane, through the median ditch, and over to the driving lane on the other side. In the process we rolled three times and landed upside-down. The blessing is that the kids were all unharmed and still safely buckled. The child old enough for a regular seatbelt received a seatbelt burn, but the three in the vests were even protected from that. As they hung upside-down they were able to easily unhook themselves and come out to where help waited. After the accident one of my first steps was to order new replacement vests."

The RSTV saved my 6 year olds life. We bought the RideSafer Travel vest when we had our 3rd baby and had to fit 3 across in a Honda CR-V. I have to admit we were nervous about her not being in a traditional seat and so were our families and friends. But the vest came highly recommended by CPSTs so we stuck with it. The vest got a thorough testing when a deer ran into the highway. We were doing 60-70mph and hit it. We went spinning sideways, launched off the pavement, rolled 3 times, nosedived into the ditch, skidded on the front end of our van, and slammed sideways into the embankment before coming to a stop. The entire engine compartment is rearranged and packed with dirt to the point it came through the air vents. The EMTs and ER were shocked we all made it, but even more shocked that our 3 children were entirely untouched, including our 6 year old in the RSTV. She's a very small child and I am confident that had she been in a traditional booster instead of the RSTV, she would have been in much worse shape if not gone."

This saved my daughter's life in our crash last month! I was injured and the seatbelt left gnarly bruises on my body. My daughter wearing this vest? Not a single bruise or scratch. I will HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. And as a Lyft/Uber driver, I tell a lot of people. Basically, I was T-boned on the passenger side, 4-year-old daughter was in the back middle and I was in passenger seat. Our car was totaled to the point of "complete and total loss" according to our insurance car lot. The back axle was ripped in half and thrown across the highway, to give you an idea. Everyone lived, thankfully. Again, I highly recommend this car seat! P.S. - this got thrown out just as you would with a car seat in any accident. We're still working on getting a replacement, but it is definitely happening."

It really works! My son (5) was wearing his vest in an Uber which was rear-ended while we were stopped at a traffic light. The driver had whiplash and a bruise from his seat belt, but my son was absolutely fine. We had used the vest in taxis for 2 years without incident, and it was a huge relief to see that it worked so well."

My daughters and I walked away from a horrible accident about a week ago and my 6 year old, who uses the RideSafer vest walked away without a scratch on her and made it to her ice skating show that evening. My 3 year old, who I have in a regular 5 point car seat suffered chest pain from her harness and cuts on her collar bone from the car seat. I would recommend this vest to anyone and will be switching my 3 year old to one now that I'm ordering my daughter a replacement harness! I originally got this vest as an alternative to a seat in order to fit 3 kids in the back seat and for the sake of my 6 year old, it was the best decision! The firefighters and police officers were extremely impressed with it when they took my daughter out of my totaled vehicle. My family was unsure of my purchase until she was the only one who didn't need any medical assistance because of this vest!"

I have the older model ride safer seat. It is the one that tethers and has the crotch strap. First let me say that I love the seat. I ordered the seat in 2014 for my daughter that has cerebral palsy right before we went on a big trip out west. Out west is where we found out how great the seat worked. We were hit in the back while sitting still at 60 miles per hour. It totaled the SUV we were driving. My daughter was completely safe and it kept her from getting hurt. I could actually see her because I was looking back and it held her tight."

We recently bought a Ride safe vest from a neighbor of ours in preparation for an international trip. We were taking a lot of flights through multiple countries and didn't want to have to lug a large seat around for our 4 year old son, but did want to make sure he'd be safe in various taxi rides and in our rental car. One night in the Philippines, we were in our rental car when traffic stopped suddenly in the left lane of the highway. We slammed into the cars in front of us going over 80 kmph, totaling our car. Fortunately we were all able to walk away and the others drivers were too, but everyone in our car had minor injuries and bruising. The only exception to this was our son, who walked away completely unscathed! Not even a seat belt mark! I did a lot of research ahead of our purchase because I was skeptical about the effectiveness of the vest, but it saved his life and I couldn't be more grateful! I just wanted to say thank you for keeping our son safe in a terrible situation! I've recommended the vest to all of our friends now! Worth every penny!"
