Folding Booster Seat by Compass?

[nicoleandjackson]

Does anyone know anything about this seat? It is featured on Babycenter.com as a bestseller (http://store.babycenter.com/product/gear/car_seats/booster/4939) and I like the idea of a folding booster for travel, but I haven't heard of that brand before. DS just had his 3yr. checkup on Monday and is 39" tall and 36#, so he is growing out of is Britax Roundabout. Otherwise, I'll take him to BRU to sit in the BV/WZ etc. but I'm afraid that since he is a total gearhead, the wings will obstruct his view of all things truck and car on our outings.

Thanks!

The Compass is a terrible seat for such a small kid. It's really wide, and not very short, and not very tall, so seems to only fit kids between age 5-8 fairly well. He's really so young I'd highly advise keeping him harnessed longer...the Marathon's fine, and he'd probably love staying up nice and high and being able to see out the windows so well. This page shows a variety of kids harnessed in the Marathon and Husky, to give you an idea of how long it would really last you http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/ffalbum.aspx
