Compass

Dear Parents,

Thank you for purchasing the Compass B500/5 Booster Seat.

We hope that it will make your child’s travel safer, easier,

and more pleasant.

We believe the B500/5 is the easiest Booster Seat to use. We

do more testing than other companies to make it as safe as

possible. And, we use the latest methods to assure the

highest quality.

Only Compass monitors the molding of every key plastic

part. Our MoldTrac technology allows us to watch every part

as it is molded. In addition, we place a number on each seat

so key parts can be traced. You will find this number on the

bottom of your seat.

We have tried very hard to keep our instructions simple and

understandable. We apologize for beginning our instructions

with so many warnings but they are very important for you to

properly restrain your child. Read and understand all of the

instructions and warnings. The safety of your child depends

on it!

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact

the Compass Staff at 1-888-899-2229.
