If you travel a lot, carry expensive gear, or care about legal concealed carry, you’ve probably run into a situation where you pull up somewhere like a federal building or another restricted location, and you’re not allowed to bring a firearm inside, or you just need a place to secure valuables. Rather than loosely hiding things somewhere in the vehicle and hoping for the best, this gives you an actual secure solution. This is the Boosted Safe Elite.

Before we get started, I want to be transparent and mention that Boosted Safe did provide this product for review, but they had no say in the creation of this video and did not get to see it prior to posting.

Now, I firmly believe that no safe is completely foolproof. If you give a thief enough time, they can get into just about anything, and this is no exception. But most vehicle break-ins are opportunity-based. Thieves want to move fast, grab something easy, and get out. If this safe can slow them down, create friction, and become an annoyance, that alone makes it effective for the vast majority of real-world theft attempts. Boosted Safe has shared several theft attempt demonstrations through their media channels, and based on what I’ve seen, this would stop or significantly delay most smash-and-grab situations. For me, that’s exactly what I’m looking for.

As you can see, the Boosted Safe comes with a cover to help conceal it, and there are additional styles available for purchase. The leather-style cover that comes with the safe looks good overall, but I do wish it came in a more neutral pattern. The diamond design doesn’t blend into most vehicle interiors, and I think it can become one of those “What is that?” moments that draws unnecessary attention to the area. Personally, I’d prefer something more subtle and low-profile.

The safe itself offers multiple ways to unlock it, which I really appreciate. You’re not relying on just one method, so you have redundancy depending on the situation. You can open the safe using the included keys, and once it’s open, you’ll see several included accessories along with multiple layers of foam padding that you can configure based on your needs. One of these layers is pick-and-pluck foam, which allows you to create a custom layout to securely hold your items. Toward the front top of the interior, there’s a battery compartment tray where you insert the included batteries. This powers the fingerprint scanner and the digital combination keypad, which you set using the register button.

What really makes this design stand out to me is how it mounts inside the vehicle. Instead of relying on a steel cable wrapped around a seat frame, Boosted Safe uses your car’s ISOFIX attachment points, which are the same anchor points designed for child car seats. Every modern vehicle has them, and they’re engineered to handle serious force in the event of a crash, which means they’re extremely strong and secure.

To install the Boosted Safe, you simply align it with your vehicle’s ISOFIX points and push it into place. The safe locks itself in automatically. It’s quick and straightforward. If you need to remove it, just open the safe and pull the red release tabs located near the anchor points.

One limitation to be aware of is the anchor point requirement. If you have multiple kids and are already using all of your ISOFIX points, this safe may not be an option unless something else is removed. In my truck, I usually only have one car seat installed, so it works well for me. But if I needed both seats at the same time, the safe would have to come out. This setup is ideal for people without car seats or those with unused anchor points.

Overall, this is a really well-thought-out design. It solves a real problem for people who travel, carry valuable gear, or need a secure way to temporarily store a firearm in their vehicle. It’s not about being invincible; it’s about being practical and making theft significantly harder.
