This is a brand new car seat-Compass I410/I420 Blue Sky. I bought this but then recieved a different brand with more bases. Paid $160 for.
Along with the huge success of the I-400 light and portable infant car seat, Compass now introduces their newest infant car seats, the I-410 and I-420. Safety is priority #1 for Compass, and the I-410's focus is on improved side-impact protection, top-notch materials, higher carrying-capacity, and above-the-board safety testing. Essentially the same as the original I-400 (with an updated look), Compass has designed this infant car seat to be the ideal in safety, comfort, and simplicity of handling.
Compass I-410 and I-420 infant car seats are the lightest we have available at EliteCarSeats, and although Compass is known widely as "The Booster People", these seats are proof that Compass can produce infant car seats that are as high quality as a Peg Perego, but at a more modest price. The quality materials used in Compass car seats makes up for the minor price difference between an I-410 and the very popular Graco Snugride.
Is the I-410 Infant Car Seat safe?
EPS foam lining (the same used in bicycle helmets) in the I-410's side impact zone give it a higher degree of impact protection while its 5-point harness and deep seat provide additional safety and cushioning. The weighted base of the Compass I-410 secures firmly to your vehicle's LATCH safety restraints, and has a knob adjustment system to set the car seat at its proper angle. The steel-to-steel locking mechanism that affixes your infant seat to its base is very strong and of the highest quality. A clearly labeled lever in the back of the seat makes removal from the base a minimal effort: just pull the grip upward to disengage the locks, lift, and the lightweight (7.5 lbs.) infant carrier is up and out.
You know your baby is safe in the I-410, but is he or she comfortable?
The answer is definitely yes. A retractable sun shade will keep out excess sunlight, and the smooth lining material and a triple-layer of padding along the seat and sides assure that your baby rides in maximum comfort. The entire seat lining can be removed with just a few button snaps and tossed into the washer for easy cleaning. Compass has established a legacy of success in creating high-quality car seats and boosters, and the I-410 is their latest and greatest imprint on the infant car seat industry.
