Section 1 - Introduction  
Dear Parents,  
Booster Seat.  
Thank you for purchasing the Compass B510  
We hope that it will make your child’s travel safer, easier,  
and more pleasant.  
We believe the B510 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.  
Keep this instruction manual for future use.  
Store in pocket on back of Booster Seat.  
No car seat can guarantee protection from injury  
in every situation, but proper use helps reduce  
the risk of serious injury or death.

Section 3 - Warnings  
WARNING  
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur  
Failure to follow these instructions and Booster Seat  
labels can result in injury or death to a child from  
striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or  
crash.  
- Even if the Booster Seat seems easy to figure out  
on your own, it is important to read these  
instructions and the vehicle owner’s manual for  
details you might miss.  
The instructions in this manual and in your vehicle  
owner’s manual must be followed carefully. If there is  
a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual  
must be followed.  
Failure to use the automobile seat belt or to adjust it  
properly can result in your child striking the vehicle’s  
interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury  
or death can occur.  
• DO NOT allow others (baby sitters, friends,  
grandparents, etc.) to use this Booster Seat unless  
they read and understand the instructions and labels.  
• Only use accessories manufactured by Compass. Use  
of accessories can affect your child’s safety in a  
sudden stop or crash.

Section 8 - Safety Checklist/Safe Practices  
Safe Practices (Continued)  
* EVERYONE rides buckled up or the vehicle DOES  
NOT GO! Make NO EXCEPTIONS for adults or children!  
- If someone unbuckles, the vehicle STOPS! Being  
firm and consistent will result in fewer discipline  
problems as children grow older. An unrestrained  
person can be thrown into and injure other  
passengers.  
- NEVER try to tend to a crying child’s needs while  
driving. Never take a child out of a child restraint for  
comforting while the vehicle is moving.  
* DO NOT allow child to slide down under lap belt or put  
shoulder belt under arm or behind back.  
* DO NOT allow a child to have lollipops, popsicles, or  
other food on a stick. The item can injure the child in a  
sudden stop or crash.  
* Put heavy or sharp items in the trunk. Loose items can  
be deadly in a crash.  
* If you need to use a blanket in cold weather, put the  
child in the restraint and cover both with the blanket.
