Belt positioning boosters are the biggest advancement in child safety in years. Automobile seat belts are designed for children above 57" tall. 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 are not the same as a 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. Our Folding Booster Car Seat provides the answers for both you and your child. The patented folding feature takes 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 the 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 back support stays fully enclosed as the height is adjusted. This means side support and protection in every position.

This review is from: The First Years Ultra Folding Booster Car Seat (Baby Product)
I drive a van that has bucket seats with headrests that are not removable and do not raise up very high. So, it was very important to me that I get a booster with a headrest that could accomodate them, without pulling away from seats. Initially, I purchased a b505, but found that after I raised the headrests a few notches, my problem returned. I knew I wanted to replace it with a newer compass seat. The big question was whether I should go with the Compass b510 or the b530.

I experienced a lot of confusion regarding the differences between the Compass b510 and the b530. There is almost no information available, except for on car safety message boards. And, what I did find wasn't neccessarily correct. My gut told me that the b530 was the seat for me, but every site I visited said to go with the b510 - because the headrest is deeper. One site even said that the b530 is basically just the b505 with more modern fabric. I even consulted a representative here at...Read more

Finally, something that curves to fit those horrendous forward-protruding (non-removable) headrests of my XC90. It wasn't an issue with any of the LATCH-attatched seats, bc I could jam them down, but once I had to go to the car's belts in a booster I couldn't find anything to fit. The Graco Turbo Booster pushed forward and my son complained it wasn't comfy. It pushed his head fwd and he just looked like he was sitting too upright. I didn't want to go to a backless booster yet, as he falls asleep in it frequently, so I thought I was out of luck or selling my car.

My son says the Compass seat is more comfy, and the belt path really holds the belt nicely. The armrest rotates up so it's out of the way, making it easy for him to buckle up. He seems to be resting at a good incline. I'm just so happy it fits the seat, so I could keep him in a high-backed booster for another year or two. And the quality, construction, and fabric are top-notch. Very happy with the seat.

This review is from: The First Years Compass Ultra Folding Booster Car Seat - Cappuccino (Baby Product)
This is an excellent booster seat. We took it on a recent trip to Orlando and I put it in my large suitcase. Fit perfectly and withstood the trip well. My granddaughter loved the cup holders and it appeared to be very comfortable for her. It is very well constructed and I would recommend it. I don't think I will purchase the case because it fit so well in my large rolling suitcase.
