Product Description

From the Manufacturer
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.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked as expected in a real car accident, March 1, 2008

By	Webbman - See all my reviews

Three weeks after buying this booster seat, my wife and son were in a car accident, where the car was struck on the side. My wife suffered a broken pelvis and other minor injuries. My son was strapped in his Compass B510 booster seat and it protected him - he had no injuries!

This booster seat is a snap to unfold and put in the car. It felt more sturdy than others on display at the store. The color and texture of the fabric is nice, and it blends very well with my grey leather seats.

Although the booster seat that was in the car accident had no visible signs of damage, it is suggested to replace them after a car accident because they may have hidden damage. I was satisfied with the original seat, so I purchased the same seat as a replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Safe, Comfortable, Durable, and Worth Every Cent, February 19, 2008

By	Brickbat70 (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews

I own two of the previous Compass booster seats (the B500 model) and they are outstanding. My youngest child just turned three so I ordered the new B510. I would have given the B500 a five-star rating and this model actually improves on it. The material is thicker and appears to be more durable (even though my other Compass seats are 2+ years old and the material is in perfect shape). It seems a bit bigger, and I expect that it will fit my children more comfortably as they get in the five-and-up range. One of my only complaints with the B500 was that the kids would sleep and look terribly uncomfortable because their heads didn't have anywhere to lay, but this model has wider (and, I assume, safer and more comfortable) "wings" around the head.

Overall this is an incredibly durable and safe product that is worth every cent. It's also easy to use (and was recently named the only booster seat to earn all five-star ratings for ease of use by the NHTSA). I figure that my kids will spend many hours in this booster seat, and if they're a little more comfortable and happier and safer during those hours then it will be money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great booster - love that it folds, November 29, 2006

By	S. McNeil "shantravels" (DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great booster seat. It is exceptionally safe and sturdy. Easily fits into our small car. My daughter seems to be very comfortable in it, and naps during long drives. I love that it folds up and comes in a carrying case - great for airline travel. I highly recommend this seat!
