Lisa from Plano, TX  August 20th, 2009 We purchased the Compass B540 (Daisy) for our 5 year old daughter to take with us on a trip. It folds and unfolds easily and is light-weight and easy to carry. We checked it as baggage on the flight and it made it through baggage handling just fine. God-send to have it with us because I don't think the car rental had any spares. Installs very easily. The placement of the seatbelt around the seat is obvious, but you have diagrams and directions just in case.
This is our first booster, and we're just starting to use this one. Will see how the booster grows as our child grows. She is almost 5-3/4 years old, but is only around 35 pounds. Still rides in her carseat, but we will make the transition to full-time booster seat use soon.
As far as comfort goes, our daughter had no complaints. The arm rests worked for her, as did the wings around the head, and the seat has plenty cushioning. She even dozed off a few times while we were driving from one place to another, with her head sagging slightly to either side. The booster was in a Dodge Caravan (mini-van) during this trip, but will find its permanent spot in our Honda Accord and Toyota Highlander.
Yes - we do intend to purchase another.
Overall, seat appears sturdy, we know it's comfortable from our daughter's point-of-view, and I believe as she grows taller, the seat will adjust well to accommodate her.
