I have three kids, and it wasnt until the third one that I finally found a good booster seat. Bad thing about boosters, they are hard to use, and when the kids sleep in the car, their poor heads looks as if they will break off. The head rest on this seat is perfect. My daughter is about to turn five and has had Britax from the beginning. I was so happy to find that they were doing a boster, I ordered it without hesitation. Britax is without a doubt the best car seat, and best booster I have found. Too bad that I have become an expert on baby products now that I am no longer having babies! The only thing I would change is the way it straps into the car. The seat uses the seat belt to strap itself, as well as the child in. Since my kids are very independent, they want to strap themselves in. As such, the seat is sometimes difficult for my daughter to use on her own. Aside from having to fight her to let me strap her in, I would say that it is perfect!

We did a LOT of research and tried out 3 other boosters before deciding on this one. All of the other boosters had serious issues. The seat slid around, my daughter's head would flop about when she feel asleep, mostly the seatbelt was NEVER in the correct placement. This seat is absolutely wonderful! The head rest adjusts to put the shoulder harness at exactly the correct placement (the others had it up on her neck). The head protecting wings with EPS foam keep my daughter's head from flopping around when she falls asleep in the car. There is also a cup holder for her drink. I had the Parkway in granite and did not want to buy another in case we did not like this one either, but we loved it and I quickly bought another one for our other car. I had to wait 2 weeks for the Tiffany print, but it was so worth it ~ my daughter loves her pink chair!

This is the best booster seat out there. It arrived quickly and exactly as pictured.
My daughter loves her new seat and loves being a big girl. This booster is made to grow with the child - in fact my MOM could fit in this fully extended and still had room to grow - so if you have a tall child this is the seat to get. It has side impact protection, head rests for the car sleeper and is really plush for long car trips. I will buy a 2nd one for the other car!!!

I purchased this booster after reading the rave reviews on this site and because we were very pleased with our Britax Marathon carseat. We are not thrilled with this seat now that it has arrived. The head rest has side wings that come out very far and my 4 year old spends alot of time leaning forward to see around them, thereby negating the safety feature. It also seems very narrow along the torso portion. My daughter is quite thin but still has no room for her arms because of the side wings and so her arms rest on the wings out in front of her body. She has not complained bc the seat is pink and she's never tried another booster but she looks terribly uncomfortable.

This carseat is so easy to use/adjust. It really does support my little girls head when she falls asleep and she loves it because it is so pink and pretty.

My wife says I'm a "safety nut" and this seat is great for our little one! We have the "Sapphire" and "Tiffany" patterns and enjoy them both.
Only two downsides noticed...(1) when making the transition to this seat, you'll need to keep an eye when your child starts to go to sleep and make sure his/her head doesn't tilt backwards too much and cause neck pain; instead, teach him/her to lean towards the safety padded side, and (2) the cup holders are hardly more than a small tray and not equipped to hold any drink we've tried thus far.
For us, safety is first priority, comfort second, with price and color selection next. Britax borders on the high end usually, but isn't your little one worth it? :)

My daughter, age four, but on the petite side, is much more comfortable in this booster seat than in her previous booster seat. The "wings" keep her head from bobbing up and down if she falls asleep in the car. The deeper torso allows the lap belt to be properly positioned. The belt guide at the top of the car seat keeps the belt away from her neck. The headrest is adjustable, so it will "grow" with my daughter. The only drawback, which has nothing to do with safety, is the cup holders which are really too shallow to hold anything. Highly recommend!

Bought this seat for my 5 yo, to replace 5-point Britax model as she is now over 40 lbs. The comfort is terrific and she can now buckle herself - yeah!! It feels much more sturdy and comfortable (so she says) than her friends' boosters, particularly with the head "wings". Bought this same model 3 years ago for her older brother and his is holding up beautifully. Head height adjustment is so easy and secure too - great for when giving her friends a ride home.

My only complaint would be that the fold-out cup holders are too shallow (had a few drinks tip over that were placed in them). Not a big problem for us as our new car has built-in cup holders (as most cars do these days). All in all, a great buy!

I chose the Britax Parkway after a lot of research and after having a Britax Marathon for my daughter. However, by age 3, she had outgrown the Marathon by height and weight(she's tall for her age). Britax has the highest safty ratings, and it shows in this Booster Carseat. The adjustable headrest is very easy to adjust, and keeps my daughters head secure, but not so much that she can't look out the window. The side "wings" of the seat are very supportive as well. There is also a great "guide" next to the haead rest to keep the seat belt in place thru daily buckle and un-bluckling. The fabric is soft and (so far) repels minor spills. The cup holders are a useless feature since they're not really deep enough to hold anything beyond a snack dish, definelty not a cup. My biggest issue, however, is that if she falls asleep in the carseat, she does slump over. This is due to the fact that this booster uses the cars safty belt to keep her in the chair. It has worked well in quick stops, as all car restraints do, but I really wish the Booster Seat had the option of a five point harness. If your car doesn't have a shoulder seat belt in the middle seat, the Booster has to be on the right or left side. Great if you have multiple car seats, but since we have only one, she has to be right next to a door, which makes me nervous with side impact air bags. The Lack of a five point harness option is why I rated 4 instead of five stars. Other brands make a five point harness, but have terrible safty ratings and are poor quality. However, I am confident that the Britax Parkway Booster will support my daughter in the chance of an accident because of the "wings" for the head and body, in combination with my car's seat belt.

I wanted a safe, easy to use, girly girl product for my four year old. She loves it and so do her older siblings and friends. No more fussing about getting into the seat.
Completely stable in the car. We've already had a spill and it cleaned beautifully. The head side supports are great for napping. Highly recommend!
