Product Description
Belt positioning boosters are the biggest advancement in child safety in years. Automobile seat belts are designed for children above 57" tall. The First Years Compass B510 Booster Car Seat has a five-star Ease of Use rating. The First Years Compass B510 Booster Car Seat was one of only two high back booster seats to receive five stars and the only seat to receive five stars in every category to date under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) new Ease of Use rating system. Safety advocates suggest that your child ride in a booster as long as possible. Most states have enacted legislation to keep children in boosters until ages 6 to 8 years. But, what it takes to keep an older child content is not the same as baby. This is an age when children are busy in activities and moms, dads and grandparents are all involved in dropping off and picking up the children. The Compass Deluxe Folding Booster Car Seat provides the answers for both you and your child. The patented folding features take moving the seat from car to car and storing in the trunk to a new level of convenience. It's not just for travel, it is a seat that fits your daily lifestyle. Deluxe padding will keep your child comfortable and content, even on long trips. Rotating arm rests make installation easier because the belt path is clear. The rotating arm rests also improve the ease of use because children have an easier time crawling in and out by themselves. The back support stays fully enclosed as the height is adjusted. This means side support and protection in every position. The head rest has a full EPS foam (bicycle helmet foam) liner to absorb energy in an impact. And the deeper side wings provide additional protection for your child. The six-position height adjust will grow with your child. Features: - Narrow bottom rails allow the seat to fit into sculpted bucket seats even in small cars
- Taller, higher belt path (2") to

Summary: We Love it! 2008-10-19
Comment: We were looking for a booster seat that my 5yo daughter and I could both agree on. I was concerned for safety since she would be giving up her Evenflo Triumph. She cared about appearence and comfort. My husband has an Evenflo big kid deluxe in his car, and it's okay for short trips. Long trips, which we make quite frequenty, she complained about the seat not being comfortable after awhile. I searched everywhere and found the Compass when I was looking at safety ratings. The seats are wider and plusher from everything else I've seen. Plus, I couldn't resist the adorable giraffe print, and that was a hit with my daughter as well. I also liked how the shoulder strap has a designated area where it goes through and across my daughters chest at the right angle, so she doesn't complain about the strap being so close to her neck. A common problem we have with my husbands booster!

Summary: FAILED Safety Test October 2008 2008-10-01
Comment: October 1, 2008. On this morning's edition of NBC's Today show, I learned this booster failed testing performed by the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Of course, I recently purchased 2. I'm trashing them & going back to Britax (which I had previously used)which was one of the brands that received the highest score. Check MSNBC-Today Show website for complete results & recommendations.

Summary: Daughter's first booster - we all love it! 2008-08-29
Comment: I have always used Britax car seats and love them!! I did a lot of comparisons to the Britax Monarch. I really, really like that the armrests on the Compass fold up; it is so useful when securing the belt. Portability is great...we move it from Grandma & Grandpas car to ours in a snap, not heavy or bulky, like most Brtiax (Monarch weighs 5 lbs more). My husband takes our daughter to school, then folds up the seat to allow for more room in the truck for his work, then just unfolds it when he picks her up. Works great! Love the safety specs - it has surpassed International Side Impact Standards. Definitely glad we chose this seat & would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Great item- worth the price! 2008-08-12
Comment: We got this booster for our daughter right before she turned 4 years old. I had read reviews about the seat and many others and with this seat's high ratings decided to give it a try. I did a free trial of Amazon prime and paid only 3.99 and had it here in less than 24 hours- just in time to try it out on a 3 hour car trip to her Grandparent's house. She fell asleep and her head didn't fall over like it always did in her old car seat. The seat is very nicely padded and the giraffe pattern is absolutely adorable! Our daughter loves it. She said it's very comfortable and after just a few times of practicing she's able to buckle and unbuckle herself which makes her feel so big! The arm rests go up and down and the cup holders on each side move in and out which are both really nice features. We also loved that it is so easy to move from car to car and folds easily for carrying and a very easy to adjust headrest that you can move up as the child gets taller. All in all it was worth every penny and I highly recommend this seat!

Summary: VERY GOOD BUY 2008-06-24
Comment: I bought this for my 5.75 year old daughter and she likes sitting in it. It's very roomy, the fabric is velvety and this giraffe pattern is perfect for growing in (I considered getting the pink but I suspect my daughter may get tired of pink before she stops using this booster seat). I haven't folded the seat yet so I don't know how easy and quick it would be to do so.
CONS: 1)Unfolding the seat for the very first time was tough. I had to call the manufacturer for help because I didn't want to break the seat. It turns out that opening it up (it ships folded) will be tough for the first few times until the seat loosens up but I got it open (no hubby needed). 2) The seat-belt guide is a nice feature but sometimes it locks the seat belt when my daughter is trying to put her seat belt on. I've since taught her to pull as much of the belt out and to gently put her seat belt on rather than yanking it. All the other features are well thought out, though.
I highly recommend this seat although most of the major stores didn't carry this one. I had to order it online but well worth the wait (only took 3-4 days to get it).
