Love it so much we have 2!
I purchased this seat in the Monet for my 8 mo old daughter… Loved it soo much I got it in the Cappuccino for my 2 1/2 yr old son. I am seriously thinking about getting another for my almost 5 year old. She loves it too! This seat would still be suitable for my 7 year old as well. And how can you go wrong with using a safer car seat. I feel much better having my kids in a 5 point harness then trusting the seat belt and booster to keep them safe! This seat is pretty heavy and takes a little extra time to install, so if you are looking to do the car seat swap everyday, you probably want to count this one out… or get 2, you’d be happy you did!
Great seat!
We bought this car seat for our 10 month old daughter. It is very comfortable and I feel like she is extremely secure. My only complaint is that the strap adjustment is hard to get to when the seat is in the rear facing position. Because it is in the front of the seat, I have a hard time getting to it. I know that once we turn the seat around it will be much easier. Overall I really am happy with this purchase.
LOVE this car seat!!
I bought this car seat for DS 2 after talking to some car seat safety inspectors who highly recommended it.
I LOVE it…I have no problem with installing it, even with the belt locks. I also don’t have any trouble adjusting the seat harness — but it is currently at a 45 degree angle rear facing, so I may have trouble when it isn’t so reclined.
With the head rest off (which is ok until baby is 22 lbs or reaches the mark on the seat), it takes up very little room in the back seat…my 6’5″ husband can sit in the passenger seat in front of this seat and still have room for his legs, which is rare for a rear facing car seat.
Overall, very very happy with this seat…I haven’t had any of the problems mentioned in the negative reviews — and best of all, this will last my son until he’s close to 6-7 years old!!

Customer Reviews
Excellent bag
I ordered this bag to store the compass 510 booster seat. It is an excellent bag, made of sturdy nylon. I would recommend it to anyone who owns a compass booster seat.
It’s ok
I was definitely disappointed. The material is thin and it’s a bit too big for the booster seat that it’s supposed to fit. I think I would have been better off with an inexpensive duffel bag.
Better than nothing, but not great for air travel
This bag has decent construction and fits the booster seat well, but that’s about it. For air travel, it’s better than nothing, but also has some disadvantages. It doesn’t do anything more than cover the seat–there’s no foam padding or anything like that to provide extra protection for the seat against damage caused in baggage handling. (But what do you expect for around $20, I guess?) More importantly, the strap is not removable, and there’s no way to secure it to the bag so that it doesn’t flap around. This greatly increases the chance of the bag (and seat inside) getting lost, damaged, or delayed during airport baggage handling, as loose straps can get caught in the automatic baggage handling machinery. Be sure to identify the bag as containing a car seat when checking in at the airport, as most major airlines will have a separate handling procedure for car seats that might spare you the inconvenience of a damaged/lost bag and seat.
