A steel car safe that clips into the child-seat anchors already in your back seat, hides under a booster-seat cover, and opens with your finger.
You might not know they’re there. Every passenger vehicle sold in the US since the 2003 model year has them, by federal standard FMVSS 225. A child seat clicks into them. So does a Boosted Safe.
Why it's a Boosted Safe
Orders on file from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, bought through official channels. From police departments and sheriff’s offices in states from Oregon to Florida, fire departments, police K9 academies, the Marines and the Navy. From security firms, investigators, firearms instructors, and the photographers who buy through B&H.

Founder story
Inventor of BoostedSafe.
$10,000 of camera gear in a $500 car, and a bike chain for a security system. Then he installed his son’s booster seat, looked at the steel holding it to the car, and asked why nothing locked to that. Now something does, and the patent has his name on it.
“As a retired Police Chief I was looking for something like this for years. I have other portable vault for vehicles… but this takes the cake!”
“The locking and closing mechanism is built for business. Fit and finish absolutely excellent.”
“I love your product! I'm a police officer and I have an unmarked police vehicle.”
“As a retired police officer this safe makes it easy to secure my firearms in a safe manner if not allowed to carry into business.”
“This thing is awesome, weird no one thought of it sooner.”
“I really like the safe. It has a solid build quality which is the most impressive factor in my opinion.”
No tools. No drilling. No mods. It clicks into the same steel anchors a child seat uses. Fifteen seconds in, fifteen seconds out, and it moves to your next car with you: yours, your spouse’s, a rental.

car break-ins in the US since midnight (estimated)
The average smash-and-grab takes under a minute: glovebox, console, under the seat. You’re using one of them.
The math: police reported 698,347 thefts from vehicles to the FBI in 2025 (one every 45 seconds). The Bureau of Justice Statistics finds only 25.4% of thefts are ever reported to police. 698,347 ÷ 0.254 ≈ 2.7 million a year, or one every 11 seconds. It’s an estimate: the BJS figure covers all household theft, not only cars. Sources: FBI Crime Data Explorer, NIBRS theft from motor vehicle, 2025; BJS, Criminal Victimization, 2024 (NCJ 310547), Table 4.

Sources: FBI Crime Data Explorer, theft from motor vehicle, 2025, as reported by participating police agencies (coverage shown per state). Dots are placed on each state’s population centers in proportion to its reported total; they are not incident locations. Reporting rate: Bureau of Justice Statistics, Criminal Victimization, 2024 (NCJ 310547), Table 4: 25.4% of “other theft” victimizations were reported to police.

Every other vehicle safe is a small box on a cable, or a part made for one vehicle. Ours mounts to the steel anchors already welded into your vehicle. Here are the exact models people compare us to, with the numbers their own makers publish. Swipe sideways.

Competitor figures are the manufacturers’ published specifications for these exact models, checked September 17, 2026; prices checked September 29, 2026. “Not published” means we could not verify it, not that the feature is missing. Interior volume is D × W × H before foam. We tested four of these on camera: see the head-to-head tests. Volume and steel figures are for the Boosted Safe and Golden Gate; the Mini is smaller.

189 of our reviews mention how easy it is to install. We counted. These are word for word. Hover to stop the scroll.
It’s a car gun safe with room to spare: a pistol (unloaded) and mags, a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a camera, the passports, the cash, the good sunglasses. At the same time.
16-gauge cold-rolled steel, a fingerprint reader that opens in about a second, a backlit keypad and a key behind that. Fifteen pounds of “not today”.
We read about 1,200 of them. These are real, word for word, typos included.* Hover to stop the scroll.
That car is too clean to have a toddler. You have to sprinkle some Cheerios and maybe some French fries to make it believable!!
20What in the God bless America is this?
27Shoulda made it a my little pony booster seat - true hidden safe!
11Put cup holders on it to really make it look like a booster seat
8Works great. Loving it.
3I have one and I love it. I’m totally comfortable leaving a firearm or other valuable in there without having to worry. I highly recommend them!
2Just got ours a couple of weeks ago and love it! Seems to be great quality so far, easy to install, and durable.
2Amazing product! Just got it today. Programmed and installed in 15 minutes. Blends well with the backseat for a nice clean booster seat look.
1I had multiple people who were bigger and stronger than me sit on it, pull on it, kick it, and yank on it because I take my family’s safety seriously.
Saw this at a gun show, it’s the best option. The booster seat is a great disguise.
I’ve had mine for two years and we both have used it (both retired LE [law enforcement]) several times and love it! Worth every penny!!
I have one and I love it !
25Now, make one that goes across BOTH seats, that will hold a rifle!!!
18@brin…Dont need one (want one 😆) but props to whoever thought up a way to make these car anchor points useful for something else
I just got mine a couple days ago. So far I love it!
11I just got mine installed in my Lambo!
8Booster seat and a safe… dual purpose I love it
8Now, I just need a full bench booster...for the triplets. Of course!
5I have two Elite Models and love them.
4Great invention. I bought mine
4@will…I love mine use it everyday
Just got mine, very very nice
2I love mine, it’s came in so handy already!!!!
2Wild little ride! Nice.
2Using a Cybertruck in the ad is diabolical. . Not a single one has ever been broken in to.
2Great peace of mind, love mine!
1Me too. Best Investment I’ve made in a long time. Highly recommend.
1I just ordered mine and I can’t wait to get it.
1These are great! Have one in both cars
1Just ordered mine, hope shipping is as quick as they told me it would be!!
1Got it!! Thanks! Makes perfect sense. I’m looking into getting one
1I love it ! And even get a faraday bag . Great make and works easily
1thank you. I saw it was available again. Not a perfect match, but looks great.
1Meets the requirement of “lockable compartment attached to the vehicle.”
1Finally a good use for those other than car seats
1Nice safe. It kinda sucks that we need something like this. Does it also block RF signals so thieves will ignore it?
1minimum of 2 chicken nuggets
1When a Chuck Norris book is stored in there, your car is both safe and threatened at the same time.
1It’s a solid lock box!
1It's very well built I love it
1As soon as I get the cash, I'm in! Hands down the best solution I have seen so far.
1I've ordered. Looking forward to installing it.
1Great product. Thank you!

“What in the God bless America is that”
Asked under the reel of a booster seat that is also a safe. We took it as a compliment. Then we made this.
Eyes closed. Shoulders down. Everything you’d hate to lose is in steel, latched to two tons of car.
Issued by theUnited States Patent and Trademark Office
Filed by the founder, granted by the USPTO.
Front page and figures are from the published patent, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, May 5, 2026.
Yes. Every US passenger vehicle built since model year 2003 has the steel child-seat anchors it clips to. It’s federal law. Driving something older, or want it where there are no anchors? Our Universal Anchor Adapter gives it the same steel latch points.
Yes. A pistol fits in the cut foam, stored unloaded, and the safe locks to the steel child-seat anchors in your back seat. The Golden Gate Elite, in 12-gauge steel, is the one certified for firearms: it’s on the California DOJ list of certified firearm safety devices. Rules for leaving a gun in a car change by state, so check yours in our state-by-state guide.
No tools, no drilling, no mods. It clicks into the same anchors a child seat uses. About fifteen seconds in, about fifteen seconds out.
The release is inside the safe. To take it out of the car you have to unlock it and open it first. No key, code or fingerprint, no removal.
Maybe. A safe doesn’t stop a rock. What it does is turn a sixty-second payday into a broken window and nothing to show for it. Glass is a few hundred dollars. A pistol, a laptop or a passport the week of your trip is a different kind of day.
They can know exactly what it is. It’s still steel, locked to welded steel, and it opens from the inside. Knowing where the bank vault is has never been the hard part.
Open it, press the release inside, lift it out. About fifteen seconds. It clicks into your next car the same way, and it’s light enough to carry in one hand.
Not on the BoostedSafe or the Golden Gate. Those only look like booster seats. The Mini is built as a real booster with a locked compartment inside, and its certification is in progress.
Then we replace it, free. That’s the break-in guarantee. Power tools and a lot of time beat every safe ever made, which is why we cover it instead of pretending.
It’s a lot for a box on a cable. It’s cheap for the only one locked to the car, and you can split it. It also costs less than the laptop, the pistol, or the passport the week of your trip.
Do that when you can. This is for the courthouse, the stadium, the gym, the trailhead, the school, the flight: everywhere the sign on the door says no and the trunk release is a button on the dash.
Then you have a stolen car, and that’s what insurance is for. Your safe is still locked, still latched to a car with a plate number, and still covered by the break-in replacement.
In most cars, especially sedans, the rear seat bottom is a foam cushion that pops out. The anchors are welded to the body underneath, so removing the cushion changes nothing. Only some full-size SUVs and minivans have middle rows that unbolt, and those take tools and time a thief doesn’t have.
Fifteen seconds and it’s in the trunk. If your back seat is full every single day, this isn’t your safe, and we’d rather tell you now.
Good. Keep doing that. This is for the places you legally can’t: federal buildings, schools, stadiums, some employers. One customer told us he carries more often now, because he always has somewhere legal to put it.
The safe itself isn’t a signal blocker. The Faraday bag that comes free with the Elite is. It fits a 16-inch laptop, an iPad, a phone or your keys, and blocks their signals while it’s sealed.
No, and we won’t pretend. It’s a theft safe. Don’t leave batteries or anything heat-sensitive in a closed car in August, safe or no safe.
It’s a locked steel container attached to the vehicle, which is what most state transport laws ask for. The Golden Gate Elite is a CDOJ certified gun safe. Store firearms unloaded and check your own state’s rules.
Yes. They’re verified buyers on Loox, we reply to nearly every one, and the ad comments on this page are copied word for word. One commenter got accused of being a bot, so he posted a photo of his safe and his NRA instructor credentials.
We’re at gun shows and in select safe dealers. Easier: buy it, put it in your car for 30 days, and send it back if you don’t love it.
You can. We did. Do not recommend. Video coming.
Split the Elite into 4 interest-free payments of $99.75 with Shop Pay. Then stop carrying your laptop into every gas station.
