The BoostedSafe Mini is open for pre-order, and launch pricing is time-limited. Here is the clear breakdown of what you can reserve, what it costs, when it ships, and what comes with each model before the Super Early Bird window closes.
What you can pre-order now
There are two BoostedSafe Mini models available for pre-order: Mini Elite and Mini Basic. Both share the same core idea: a certified, crash-tested backless booster seat with a hidden, lockable compartment built inside.
Both models connect to compatible lower child-restraint anchors, commonly called LATCH in the United States and ISOFIX internationally. Both also include backup key access, a USB-C jump port, and hidden compact storage for the valuables families carry most.
BoostedSafe Mini Elite
Choose Mini Elite if you want fingerprint access, backup key access, USB-C emergency power, and the same booster-seat-safe concept in the most convenient Mini model.
$259 through September 1, 2026. Regular price $299. Scheduled to ship October 2026.
BoostedSafe Mini Basic
Choose Mini Basic if you want a manual combination lock, backup key access, USB-C emergency power, and the lower launch price.
$219 through September 1, 2026. Regular price $249. Scheduled to ship October 2026.
Super Early Bird pricing
Pre-order pricing is available through September 1, 2026. After the Super Early Bird window, pricing is scheduled to return to regular retail.
| Model | Super Early Bird price | Regular price | Launch savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| BoostedSafe Mini Elite | $259 | $299 | Save $40 |
| BoostedSafe Mini Basic | $219 | $249 | Save $30 |
When it ships
Both BoostedSafe Mini models are scheduled to begin shipping in October 2026. Pre-ordering reserves your unit at the launch price and puts you in line for the first production run.
If you are planning around a trip, family schedule, holiday gift, or vehicle setup, keep the October 2026 shipping window in mind before ordering.

About the crash testing
The BoostedSafe Mini has been independently crash-tested by a third-party testing facility. Final standard and certification details will be published before the product ships.
That means the Mini is being positioned differently than the larger BoostedSafe Elite and Basic vehicle safes. The Mini is not just a safe that resembles a booster seat. It is a booster seat with hidden lockable storage built in.
What fits inside the hidden compartment
The Mini compartment is compact by design. It is built for the smaller items families do not want sitting loose or visible in the vehicle.
| Good fit | What to know |
|---|---|
| Passports, IDs, credit cards, and cash | Great for travel documents and backup payment items. |
| Phones, wallets, and keys | Good fit when items sit flat and allow the safe to close fully. |
| Watches, jewelry, earbuds, and small electronics | Useful for beach days, sports, school runs, errands, and travel stops. |
| Compact purses or clutches | Only if they fit completely inside without forcing the lid. |
| Compatible lawful personal-protection devices | If a child is riding in the booster, keep any firearm unloaded and follow all product instructions and applicable storage laws. |
The interior is about 2.5 inches deep, so think flat, compact items instead of bulky gear.
Check fit before you order
The Mini installs in a compatible rear seating position with accessible lower child-restraint anchors and a correctly positioned lap-and-shoulder belt. Fit varies by year, make, model, trim, seating position, anchor access, and seat shape.
Because this is a booster seat, fit is not only about the vehicle. It also has to work for the child, the vehicle belt, and the seating position.
Before ordering, use the Will It Fit My Vehicle page and review your vehicle owner’s manual.
