Parents searching for a leader in the car seat industry should look no further than Compass. After years and years of working in the corporate world of child products, two dads (and car seat specialists) broke away from corporate America. Their mission was to provide safe, high-quality, innovative children's products and market them in an honest and straightforward manner. The result of this work is a line of incredibly well-built and safe car seats.

The Compass Folding Booster Seat has been awarded five out of five stars by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for its ease of use in: instructions, installation features, labels and securing the child. Automobile seats are designed for children above 57" tall and, consequently, safety advocates suggest children ride in a booster as long as possible. Many states have enacted legislation to keep children in boosters until the ages of 6 or 8.

However, as children become older, their needs are much different than those of an infant. Children are busy with activities and school and busy Moms, Dads and Grandparents are all involved in dropping off and picking up the children. The Folding Booster seat provides a solution to this problem with a patented folding feature that makes moving the seat from car to car and storing it in the trunk a snap.

Deluxe padding will keep your child comfortable and rotating armrests improve the usability since children will have an easier time crawling in and out of the seat. The back support remains fully enclosed when the height is adjusted which 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.

Although Compass is best known for its booster products, the company also makes an exceptional line of light and portable infant car seats such as the Inglesina Compass I420 Infant Car Seat. EPS foam lining in the side impact zone give the seat a higher degree of protection and the deep seat, triple layer of padding and 5-point harness system provide additional cushioning and safety. Additionally, the steel-to-steel locking mechanism that attaches the car seat to the base is very strong and made of the highest quality. The simple and clearly labeled attachments and adjustments make proper installation a breeze.
