Hidden Gun Safe Disguised as a Booster Seat: full review Frank Latella’s Self-Protection Network

Hospitals, stadiums, bars. Your pistol waits unloaded in 12-gauge steel that is latched to your back seat, not sitting under it.

“How many times have you been carrying a concealed weapon and realized you have to run into a place that doesn’t allow you to carry?”

Their verdict: “incredibly secure and fast to open.” Their two complaints: it takes a seat, and it isn’t cheap. Both true.

1 in 4 gun owners who leave a firearm in the car keep it in the center console. One in six use the glovebox.

The glove box was never a plan.

The glove box was never a plan.

Every permit holder knows the places the gun can’t go. The question is what happens to it for the next forty minutes.

  • The glove box or the console.A plastic latch. It slows down nobody.
  • A lock box on a cable.Bolt cutters take about four seconds, and the box leaves with them.
  • A bolted console vault.Solid, if you’re happy drilling your truck. It also stays with that truck.
  • Under the seat.The first place anyone looks.

What goes in

A pistol, unloaded, in foam you cut.

Magazines and the paperwork sit beside it. Fingerprint, code or key to open.

Your car has steel anchors. We lock a safe to them.

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.

  • Locked to the car, not to a cable.Two steel latches grab the same bars that hold a child seat in a crash.
  • The release is inside the safe.To take it out, you have to open it first. No key, code or fingerprint, no removal.

    I have a 2016 accord and it snaps right in, it wiggles a little so I tried to rip it out and I couldn’t do it.

    Honestly I’m in love with this thing. I thought this was a scam because it was advertised on Facebook but I bought it anyway. I love it. It’s really cool. It’s super well thought out. I have a 2016 accord and it snaps right in, it wiggles a little so I tried to rip it out and I couldn’t do it. I bought the fingerprint version. Really neat product.

    The boosted seat is genius, using hard mounts already in every seat of modern cars, allowing you to chose multiple locations.

    27 years in Law Enforcement and after retirement, securing a weapon in the car has always been problematic. There are places one can't carry, such as courthouses or other Gov facilities and many times I've been forced to either hide the weapon in the car or put it in a lockbox which I didn't feel was the slightest bit safe. Most states dictate, to be legal, a certain type of lockbox had to be permanently bolted to the vehicle with drilled holes. The boosted seat is genius, using hard mounts already in every seat of modern cars, allowing you to chose multiple locations. Yes, technically its not 'bolted' to the frame, but I will argue it's just as secure. It's reasonably disguised and most thieves wouldn't give it a second look. If they did, the safe would be too difficult to open, much less remove. Room for other valuables as well. I'm a huge fan. The Faraday bag was an unexpected bonus!!!

    The safe is solid, well-built, and feels like a quality product the moment you get your hands on it.

    I’ve been very impressed with Boosted Safe. The safe is solid, well-built, and feels like a quality product the moment you get your hands on it. Setup was straightforward, the features work exactly as they should, and it gives you quick access without sacrificing security. What really stands out is the overall design and attention to detail. It doesn’t feel cheap or gimmicky like some of the other options out there. It feels like something that was actually designed by people who understand what customers want from a secure, reliable safe. Great product, easy to use, and absolutely worth the investment. I’d definitely recommend Boosted Safe to anyone looking for a dependable safe with modern features. Five stars from me.

SUPPORT FOR LIFEBOOSTEDSAFE · SALT LAKE CITYPARTSREPAIR OR REPLACE Parts and support for life

Lost a key, wore out a cover, cooked a battery door? A person in Salt Lake City answers, and we repair or replace it.

Straight answers.

Is the Golden Gate Elite a certified gun safe?

Yes. The Golden Gate Elite is certified by the California Department of Justice as a firearm safety device. It is the only BoostedSafe that carries that certification.

Is there a military or law enforcement discount?

Yes. Military: use code MIL10. Law enforcement: use code LEO10. Each takes 10% off a Boosted Safe Elite or Basic at checkout.

Can I store a loaded firearm in it?

Store firearms unloaded. That is how the safe is certified, and it is how we ask every owner to use it.

Is it legal to leave a firearm in my car?

Storage and transport laws change from state to state, and sometimes from city to city. Check the rules where you live and where you travel. We build the steel. Your state writes the law.

How fast can I get to it?

The Elite opens with a fingerprint in about a second. There is a backlit keypad and a key behind that.

Can a thief just take the whole safe?

It is latched to steel anchors welded to the car’s body, and the release is inside the safe. To take it out, someone has to open it first. With enough time and enough tools nothing is secure. Our job is to make a smash-and-grab need far more of both than a thief brings to a parking lot.

Which trucks does it fit?

US passenger vehicles from model year 2003 have lower anchors in the back seat (LATCH in the US, ISOFIX everywhere else). Heavy-duty pickups over 8,500 lb and regular cabs may not: check yours in a minute. The safe clips to the anchors in under a minute, no tools. For an older vehicle, or a spot without anchors, the Universal Anchor Adapter (coming soon) adds the same latch points.

When does it ship?

The Golden Gate is a pre-order that ships in November. The Boosted Safe Elite is in stock and ships in one business day.

What if I don’t like it?

Put it in your car and live with it. If it isn’t for you, send it back inside 30 days for a refund. Defects are covered for as long as you own it.

Carry where you can. Lock it where you can’t.
