The Britax Parkway¿ belt-positioning booster has been designed for increased safety incorporating deep torso and adjustable height head support. ¿True Side Impact Protection'¿, developed by Britax engineers, has been confirmed through rigorous side impact sled testing to better contain a child in dangerous side-impact crashes. The seat shape correctly positions the lap belt over your child's pelvis while the shoulder belt guide keeps the vehicle belt comfortably away from his/her neck. Plush, washable fabrics, convenient drink and snack trays, reclining backrest, color coded vehicle belt guides, and the contoured, slip-resistant base of the Parkway¿ provide safety, comfort and convenience in true Britax fashion.
Compact and stylish
With the recent addition to our family, we now have three children--two in boosters and one in a car seat. We have a mid-sized wagon and didn't want to sell our car just to find one that better fit our children. So, we focused our attention on car seats and boosters. We found a car seat for the baby that was narrower than most (and yet had better safety ratings). Then we focused on the boosters. Our previous boosters were just the bases but even they were tight with the baby's car seat and the kids couldn't buckle themselves. We finally found these Britax boosters. Even though they are full size (not just the bases) they are narrower at the hip which allows our children to buckle in by themselves. The other thing we love is the built-in headrests. Our children's heads are no longer flopping around when they sleep and they are protected from side impacts. That's the other thing about these seats--they have so much side impact protection around the head and the torso. These things are great and they look pretty cool too--almost like a professional racing seat! I'd highly recommend these to anyone with small children. Our kids love them too!
Exceptional
We have had this Booster for 7 months now and it is the best one yet. The headrest and side impact protection is incredible. My son never complains about this seat and he complained everyday about his old one. We could not be happier with this product.
Not great
I purchased this seat in September of 2007, I started using it in January 2008. The fabric on the "head-rest" kept coming unlatched and after the 30th time I tried to re-secure it the styrofoam that it is made of snapped in half! When I contacted the company they offered to send me a new piece of styrofoam to replace it, and suggested I use duct tape in the meantime. Yah...i'm feeling safe about this...Also the cup holders are useless. Every type of cup we tried either does not fit or falls over immediately. Also, this car seat is listed as "RETIRED" on the BRITAX website, and I was told they are replacing it with the Frontier model. On a good note, I would use nothing but Britax, just not this one!
