The Compass Boosters will keep your little one happy whether you are taking a quick trip to the store or driving across the country. Each Compass Booster is easy to use and has features that we developed with you and your child in mind. A comfortable seat keeps your child in the seat longer and our features are easy for you to use and they make your ride more enjoyable.Using our boosters has never been easier! Our rotating armrests empower your child to easily climb into their seat. And once your child is up and in the seat, the rotating armrests make it easier for you to secure your child with your vehicles safety belts in the correct position. Once you have buckled your child in, simply rotate the arm rests down and you are ready to go. All of our boosters featured a NO GAP back-wondering what that means? As your child grows, the back of our booster does too! At their lowest weight and height your child is fully surrounded with our NO GAP back. As they start to grow, simply use the side height adjustments and raise the back and your child is still fully supported. Sometimes you will need to remove our booster from your car-either to loan to a caregiver or simply to make room in your back seat when not in use. You never have a problem storing or transporting your Compass booster with our patented Easy One Hand Fold and built in handle. The Compass Boosters all feature two retractable cup holders. No more reaching behind trying to hand a cup over while trying to keep your eyes on the road. And our cup holders are oriented in such a way that when your booster is properly installed they hold your child's cup or snack upright and secure.

great booster seat September 5, 2010
molly
Great booster. My 5 year old is very comfortable in it thanks to the seatbelt adjuster. I love that it has sturdy side head rests in case he falls asleep. Love that there are two cup holders. I will buy the same one again when my daughter is big enough.
 Granddaughter loves this seat. September 2, 2010
cguillau (LIVERPOOL, NY United States)
Pros:
Granddaughter claims it is very comfortable
Fold up arm rests for easy in and out.
Adjustable head rest height.
Easy to take in and out of car.
Head doesn't fall forward when taking a nap.
Purchased at Walmart for $63.00 with free ship to store delivery.
Cons:
Seat belt rubs against her neck so I purchased a lambs wool shoulder belt cover. Problem solved.
Doesn't tether. If child is out of seat, you should latch the seat belt in order to keep the unit stable when not in use.
Cup holders are a little small for some of her sippy cups.
After I purchased this B540 booster seat I found out that "The First Years" came out with a new model the B570
that does tether and has better features than the model B540 for about $100.00.
Booster seat August 31, 2010
Concern buyer
I purchase this booster seat for my 3 year old daughter. She doesn't like the way the seatbelt fits across her neck, as she get taller should'nt be a problem. When she sleeping she doesn't look comfortable.
We love this booster seat! August 10, 2010
Alice Bergmann (Jackson, NJ, US)
I researched NHTSA's site and found these car seats that got top ratings. I bought two (direct from The First Years for about $60) months ago. They are very soft and comfortable. The seat belt guide is secure (unlike our Eddie Bauer seat where it keeps coming out) and at a good position . The arms conveniently swing up for seat belt ease (also unlike the Eddie Bauer). The wings at the head give more support and protection. There are swing out cupholders on both sides. There is nothing we don't like, they are terrific!
Looks like a King! July 18, 2010
K. Werden (Willoughby Hills, OH)
Very nicely made. My son loves it. He looks like a King on his thrown. He is able to buckle himself into the seat. Plus, he can sleep comfortably in it because of the sides.
