Complete Review

The Compass Deluxe Booster Car Seat is a belt positioning booster seat that uses the vehicles seatbelt to secure a child in the car, there is no internal harness. The seat is designed for children ages 3-10, 38-57 in tall and 30-100 lbs. The seat features open loop belt positioners to ensure the seat belt retracts freely and does not become stuck on the seat. The seat is full of EPS foam for extra protection in a crash, deep head wings for side impact protection as well as lots of comfort padding. For convenience features the seat has two flip-up arm rests and two cup holders that rotate out from the base of the seat. The tan and black patterned cover can be machine washed and air dried. The seat comes with a 1 year warranty.

While we really like this seat and it is a great fit for my larger than average 6 year old, it is a very tall seat. In our small car the seat completely obstructs my view out the rear window and is somewhat annoying even in an outboard position in the van. The wonderfully plush and comfortable fabric grabs onto some clothes and has caused pants to be pulled down. Still, a good seat if you don't find it to be too tall.

Do you find the rear window obstruction just annoying or is there a concern for safety? We have a honda civic and currently have a harness booster that pretty much blocks half the rear window when in the center position. We've learned to work around it but I'm curious about this one cuz so far I like the Compass booster the best.
Thanks,
