A real booster seat with a hidden biometric safe Boosted Safe

The Mini is a certified booster seat with a steel safe under the cushion. Your kid rides on it. Your wallet, phone and passports ride underneath, locked to the car. Nobody breaks a window for a booster seat.

You can see the car from the playground. So can everyone else.

Practice, the pool, the grocery run. Your hands are full of kids, so the purse stays in the car, and anyone in the lot can watch you leave it.

  • Under the seat.The first place anyone checks.
  • The seat-back pocket.A tablet in there shows through the window.
  • The diaper bag.Comes with you, on top of the kids, the snacks and the scooter.
  • The trunk.You loaded it in front of the whole parking lot.

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.Two steel latches grab the same bars that hold a child seat in a crash. The release is inside the safe.
  • It’s a certified booster seat.The Mini meets FMVSS 213, the federal booster-seat standard. A kid rides on it.
  • Opens in a second.With your finger. Only the fingers you enroll open it.

Meet the Mini

A certified booster seat. A steel safe underneath.

The Mini meets FMVSS 213, the federal standard for child booster seats: padded seat, armrests, a shoulder-belt guide. Under the cushion is a steel safe that latches to your car’s child-seat anchors. The Mini Elite opens with your finger; the Mini Basic with a code and key. Pre-order now, shipping in November.

Why it's a Boosted Safe

Steel. Fingerprint. Anchors.

Straight answers.

Is the Mini a real booster seat?

Yes. The Mini is a certified booster seat: it meets FMVSS 213, the federal standard for child booster seats. It has a padded seat, armrests and a shoulder-belt guide, and your child rides on it buckled in with the car’s lap-and-shoulder belt. The steel safe sits underneath.

What fits in the Mini?

The inside is 10.5 × 8.5 × 2.5 inches: wallet, phone, passports, a small tablet. For a laptop or a full purse, the Boosted Safe Elite is the bigger one.

Can my kids open it?

The Mini Elite opens with the fingerprints you enroll, or the key. The Mini Basic opens with a code and key. Neither opens for a curious seven-year-old.

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.

Can it ride beside another car seat?

Yes. The Mini uses one set of lower anchors, like any car seat, and most back seats have two sets, so it can ride beside another car seat. Your car’s manual shows which seats have anchors, or check your vehicle in a minute.

Which cars 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.

Is there a deal for two kids or two cars?

Yes. Buy one, get one half off: buy 2 to 9 safes and every one is 25% off; buy 10 or more and every one is 30% off. All six safes count together, mixed or matched: Elite, Basic, Mini Elite, Mini Basic, Golden Gate Elite and Golden Gate Basic. A Mini for each kid counts, and so does a Mini for the minivan plus an Elite for the other car. Refurbished safes don’t count, and the deal doesn’t stack with other codes.

When does it ship?

The Mini is on pre-order, shipping in November. Pre-order prices are 5% off, on the Mini Elite and the Mini Basic. 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.
