I am SO frustrated!
My DD has been complaining for quite some time that her Turbo booster feels 'too small.'
She is all legs and the Turbo cuts her off about mid-thigh.
(She will be 9 years old tomorrow, she is 57 lbs. and 53")
So, today we went to the only store in town that sells Britax, to look at a Parkway.
I was VERY disappointed!!! Not in the Parkway, but in the sales staff, and all of the mis-information that I received.
I explained the problem to the man who was helping us, and this is what he told me....
"Your DD is very borderline. I think her problem is due to a lack of cushioning.
Personally I wouldn't pay $100 dollars for a seat that is only going to last her a year at the most. Why don't you just go and get a piece of memory foam and put it under the cushion of the Turbo-Booster? Or else, I would definitely just put her in a backless at this point."
He also told me...
"The only difference between the Parkway and the Turbo, is that a Turbo booster is designed to protect in a crash of about 30 miles per hour, while the Parkway is designed to protect at about 50 miles per hour "
?????HUH?????!!!!!
At this point I just left, because I don't want to support a store that gives out such horrible information!
SO...now what do I do? The Parkway that we tried her in did still cut her off mid-leg, and so she said that she didn't want it. What are my options now?
Is Recaro a longer seat front-to-back?
We saw this seat at Wal Mart in a backless version. It looked huge, but it was bolted to the shelf so she couldn't try it out. Does anyone know anything (good or bad) about it?
