Pros

  • Ease-of-use
  • Multiple width adjustments available
  • Headrest adjustment and seatpan adjustment is pretty easy
  • Can be stored compactly

Cons

  • Cover cumbersome to replace
  • Torso adjuster behind seat and hard to grip
  • Difficult to thread shoulder belt into shoulder belt guide
  • Easy to misroute lap belt over lap belt guides
  • No minimum age requirement, which may prompt premature use for young kids

CR's Take

The Mifold Hifold offers many adjustments for children of varying sizes and can be folded up to store compactly. The torso adjustment is awkwardly behind the seatback and difficult to grip. Belt routing is difficult into both the shoulder belt guide and lap belt guides. 

About

Crash protection/Belt fit highback: A rating that combines the potential for highback boosters to limit injury and movement in a crash based on simulated frontal crash tests and the potential for the seat to provide a good belt fit in various vehicles using child sized dummies.

Crash protection/Belt fit backless: A rating that combines the potential for backless boosters to limit injury and movement in a crash based on simulated frontal crash tests and the potential for the seat to provide a good belt fit in various vehicles using child sized dummies.

Booster fit (with back): A rating that reflects a booster seat's ability to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts in various test vehicles using a child-sized dummy, when used as a highback booster. Additionally, it includes an assessment of the booster's compatibility with vehicle seats and interior components.
