We have 3 children, ages 5 and under. We have puchased car seats for each of them for our two vehicles and the grandparents' car. Eight seats total. This Compass is better padded than all but the Britax and seems to be the most popular seat when the kids are given a choice. The booster seat is vey well made and I will probably buy more of these as I replace some of the convertible seats with boosters.

My daughter loves her new booster seat. She is 5 years old. I wanted her to be safe and comfortable especiallyfor those 3 hour drives to Grandma's house. Now her little 4 year old brother wants one (in blue). They can rest their heads against the side if they fall asleep, and yet still have a good view of things. Previously we had a Britax Wizard carseat and the kids didn't complain about it but I noticed their friends didn't seem to like the headrest part of it.

This booster seat arrived very quickly after we ordered it. It's very pretty, more padded and definitely more comfortable than the Graco seats. Seems very well made. Light weight. The fact that it folds was not a factor to me when I ordered it, but now I've used that feature several times and love it. Overall a great product and one that our little girl likes very much.

The quality and construction of this product is outstanding! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The design is also beautiful. A great product!

My original review was the complete untruth. I had only had the seat for a month, and it was fine. I have had it for only six months now, and IT IS AWFUL!!!!! The fabric looks terrible, the styrofoam is broken right off of the headrest, and the company has been less than helpful. They said that this one is no longer available (funny that Amazon has it) and that they could not send me the same one. They were supposed to overnight me a new seat, as I feel that my daughter's safety is being compromised and that was a week ago. Not pleased at all. Don't waste your money. My other child has a Britax, and although a bit more pricey, it still looks brand new after only 7 months! I thought it was crazy too to buy for the "brand" name, but they do make a far superior car seat!

Great booster. Our 3 year old daughter loves that she can climb in and out by herself (she can unbuckle it herself which may concern some) It is easy to transport/set up from one car to another. It is strong and sturdy but light. The colors are great for her and not gaudy for us! (She wanted pink)
Did a ton of research before buying as I was nervous about switching from a 5 point harness to a regular seat belt for safety reasons, but this seat works great. Would absolutely buy again.

We purchased this for my four year old daughter. She absolutely loves her booster seat and has declared that it is the best one in the whole world. It's a breeze to set up, very light weight, but substantial enough that we feel she is very safe in it. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I have to be honest, I was a little concerned moving from Britax's Marathon car seat to this booster. It seemed a little unstable and not as safe. But it is perfectly safe. Using the car's seat belt stabilizes the seat very well and the positioning is perfect for my daughter. She outgrew the height requirements on her other seat so we purchased this.

We found:
-The grow-with-your-child height adjustment on the seat back will be very beneficial for our daughter.
-The seat belt positioner is angled perfectly and safely.
-It is quite roomy and comfortable and our daughter does very well on long trips in this.
-It promotes a greater sense of freedom in our four-year-old. She can buckle/unbuckle herself from the seat. (This could be a drawback if the child isn't mature enough to keep the belt on while the car is in motion.)
-The colors are "girly" enough to satisfy our little princess.
-It folds very easily and is the most transportable seat we've found. This is huge benefit for us as we do a lot of plane travel.

Bought this for my 5 1/2 year-old daughter because she was finding it annoying to be strapped into her 5-point harness seat(Britax-huge seat)-so I did the research and bought this seat. It's very easy to use, adjust and buckle in/out. It folds up for easy storage-abit difficult to unfold. Enough padding to make it comfortable. My girls love the daisy print but my husband preferred the blue. We liked it so much that we bought another one for my 3 1/2 year-old daughter and she loves it. We ended up buying another set for my husband's car and another set for my parents. Loved by all! Highly recommend it-gave it four stars due to the diffculty in unfolding it-only negative that I can find.

I purchased this seat after we had been rear-ended and the insurance covered new seats. I like these seats because they are bigger for my bigger kids. This seat is big enough for my 52" 80 lb 8 year old who likes to sit in a car seat still, and she is comfy and not squished. It has nice deep head supports with soft fabric and lots of cushion. I like the cup holders and how they rotate easily. My 3 year old can open it easily on her own. It will fold easily, but we don't plan to use it for that. As someone else said, this seat is big and it is hard to see out the back windows. I also had to take the head rests out of my captains chairs in my van for the seats to fit properly.
