Hi,
Does anyone have information on which are the narrowest booster seats on the Canadian market? I currently have 2 Cleks from Canadian Tire, I think they measure 14.5 inches in width.

I'm curious to know if I have any other narrow options, either backless or high back boosters. I'm in a 3-across the back situation, one FF SKR and 2 Cleks. It was the only combination that fit at all that I could find. My 6-year-old twins have a terrible time fidgeting the seatbelts through the tiny plastic belt guides on the boosters, so I'm considering other options.

Browsing through these lists, I saw the Britax Starriser - I don't see it available in Canada though. I'm just curious about its adjustable width - that's rather cool - does anyone have a measurement range for it? Even though I doubt it's not available, I'm curious how it compares to the Clek. Are there any width adjusting boosters (or seats for that matter) available in Canada? It's a cool idea.

Thanks for any info!

Kat

If you can find Britax Parkways anywhere (they've been discontinued), they are narrow, have no armrests to get in the way of buckling and make awesome boosters for 3 across situations. We love ours. We also have a Clek Oto and the belt guides do get annoying.

The SKJP Monterey is 15" wide... not sure if that's too wide or not, but the armrests are angled up slightly that it looks like it may be easier to buckle in a 3 across.

My other thought is maybe something with moveable armrests like an Evenflo Big Kid... but I don't know how wide those are.
