We went to get a new booster for DD today (age 6.5) My younger DD(age 4) is outgrowing her MA and needs to go into DD1's Frontier soon.
She tried the Monterey, Parkway SG and the Vivo. HATED all of the m BTW, she loves her Frontier(booster mode now, she's too tall for any harness). Her frontier DOES provide her long legs with more support than any of the 3 boosters we tried too.
We were allowed to take them all out to he car to try seatblet fit. She was IN TEARS!! She finally agreed that the Vivo was the most tolerable of the 3. I have to say the Parkway didn't impress me that much, I found it to be a lot like our TB with a little better side wings, but eh, not so great, and she couldn't stand the slide guard feature, she said she'd refuse to use it, and it did look funny once we put it on. I don't think she's at a big risk for submarining. And it doesn't come in pink so that's a no go for her. I liked the Monterey, but she said it "hugged" her shoulders too much, but whatever, she's entitled to her opinion. I think the nice plush fabric of the Vivo is what ultimately won her over. I like the fit pretty good, although the lap belt looks really low on her hips,pretty much on her thighs, and she's a decent sized 6yo (50", 54lbs)...And despite the steel rods through the back, it's pretty lightweight:thumbsup:
Anyway, long story short, they have to order me a pink one (blush) all they had was red (she hates red). They charge $89 retail. I came home and saw they are deeply discounted online, and most sites are out of stock. Does this mean I will have trouble with them trying to get it for me?? The store said 7-10 days for delivery, but I'm expecting a call any day now saying they can't get it (sigh) after all we went through with DD just to get her to agree to a new seat
Does anyone know anything????
