This has to be the most comfortable booster chair around. We purchased it when our daughter was 4. She is 5 now and still enjoys this booster. She tends to tilt back her captain's chair (in our minivan) and go right to sleep. The back of the booster follows the chair, so she can lean back and the booster's headrest acts like pillows around her face, within minutes she's fast asleep! At first she didn't like the headrest, but she quickly realized how comfortable the booster is and now she loves it. It is best on longer rides or road trips. The only complaint we have is about the cup holders, which can not hold a cup, snacks or anything that is taller than 1 inch. Bummer, but as far as safety and comfort, it's worth it.

Very well made product except for flimsy head piece. Not sure if the section was meant to be so mobile, but perhaps for safety reason in case it comes off in a crash? Nice texture, easy to clean, and my daughter, 4, loves it - feeling like a big kid without riding a short, non-supported booster seat. Unlike cheap plastic ones from Grecco, this one seems more luxurious (okay, at least better than Disney and corporate endorsement pictures to ruin the car interior.).

I love this car seat and I love it even more because I paid just $70 for a car seat that is safe, comfortable, and really well made.

Our family loves Britax! My son loves his new booster and the side impact protection provides a headrest so he can sleep without his head falling forward. I'd highly recommend it! I just wish the material was as soft as the britax marathon we have.

I have bought several booster seats, and this is by far the best one. The headrest is their for my child when he falls asleep, and it is so well built. I love Britax! I had their normal car seats, and could not find their booster seat, but I am so glad I finally did. Great purchase!

This is our third Britax seat and our second Parkway. The price is what chose this particular style, but my daughter likes it over our other Parkway with the Granite cover, so little brother gets to use that one. As mentioned in many other reviews, the cup holders are pretty much useless, since the cup would have to fit in there very snug to not fall over during the stops and starts of driving. But the cover quality & ease of pulling the belt across make this seat preferred over the Graco TurboBooster, of which we have two in our other car. Considering this one cost the same as what those cost, it is quite a value. Apparently everyone else thought so since the Ivy League pattern can't be found on Amazon anymore.

I bought this car seat for my 3 year old when it was on sale for $60. I felt this car seat met and exceded my expectations of a car seat in that price range. The headrest is somewhat more narrow but I feel my son's head is better protected in the event of an accident. It also can recline for seats that recline so it's a great fit in my mini-van. This also is a big help when he wants to nap while I am driving. The only drawback is that the cup holders are too shallow to keep any kind of cup upright without tipping over and falling out. I am pleased with this seat and feel that it was a good choice and a great value.
