Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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 is 2"taller than the popular B505 series. 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 6 position height adjust will grow with your child. Designed for children 3 to 10 years old, 30 to 100 pounds, and up to 38" to 57" tall. It feels very substantial compared to others but weighs less than 10 pounds. It has a very wide seat to really fit the larger, older children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, March 30, 2009

This review is from: The First Years Compass B510 Deluxe Folding Adjustable Booster Car Seat - Aspen (Baby Product)
I thought I had adequately done my research when I ordered this seat. It got rave reviews from both individuals and in safety testers. I was especially looking for one that had head support, and this one was described as having a deep head rest. However, I was disappointed when I finally used it. The first and only day I used it, my family had a long drive home from grandma's one night and the kids fell asleep. I turned around and found my son slumped over and falling out of the seat. He had his seat belt on and was originally upright, but the head rest and sides of the seat were not enough to support him. I kept trying to prop him back up, but there simply wasn't enough support in the seat. I immediately removed the seat and returned it. I've since ordered another seat by Sunshine Kids. It was the closest thing I could find to the Britax Parkway, which my older son has. Apparently, Britax stopped making that seat, so I tried to find something comparable w/o having to pay hundreds of dollars. The seat I bought by Sunshine is available on Amazon as well. The Sunshine seat has side panels that stick out farther (deeper) and a head rest which is more narrow and cradles the head, should the child fall asleep. It does cost more than this one, but it's worth it to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good seats, May 29, 2007
This review is from: The First Years Compass B510 Deluxe Folding Adjustable Booster Car Seat - Aspen (Baby Product)
We ordered one first to see how it is. (The only drawback to these seats is that it's only available online). But based on reviews and customers who had compared the particular seats that we were considering AND this one, we thought we'll try it. It seemed good so now we have two. We've only had them for a month but we like them so far. It's light, comfortable for the kids(even when sleeping), and the adjustable headrest for taller chlidren is great. It has the fabric and cushioning even when you extend the headrest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good booster, looks better in real life than in the photo, January 25, 2007

This review is from: The First Years Compass B510 Deluxe Folding Adjustable Booster Car Seat - Aspen (Baby Product)
I bought this booster as well as the Combi Kobuk since we have two cars. I didn't see either of them in-person, but chose them based on reviews from Amazon, the Toddler Bargains book and a friend's recommendation. So... I bought the Compass because of its good reviews, but was not expecting much in terms of looks. I was pleasantly surprised. The website photo of the seat does it no justice. My son loves it too --- just little things like the movable arm rests and the retracting cup holders. I like the Kobuk too, but it is falls in the opposite camp i.e. great-looking website photo, but not as attractive in real life.
