Probooster vs. Parkway SG- Is tipping safe?

Unregistered · Jul 19, 2010

I narrowed down my booster quest for my 6 1/2 year old to the new Probooster and Parkway SG (she is a slight 6 1/2 year old- 42.5 pounds). We tried both out in the back row of our Odyssey this weekend (side position). She really likes the Probooster (not sure how much of that has to do with the coziness of the microfiber) and I liked her fit in it (for some reason, the lap belt on the Parkway with the SG clip seemed too high up on her belly for my liking and I couldn't figure out how to get it lower??). However- it definitely was a bit tippy on turns (no armrests back there to minimize that and she needs to be in the back row- I have two younger kids in the captains chairs) and I wasn't sure if that was a safety risk. She didn't seem to mind that, but I certainly want it to be safe. Is there any "fix" that is allowed for tippiness? Is some tipping okay? She's moving from a just-expired Britax Wizard. Thanks in advance!

A little tipping is ok, as long as the belt stays in place.

My old style parkways were pretty tippy in the third row of my 2003 Ody, it looked funny, but like bensmom noted, the belts were fine so I didn't worry.
The SG clip has to be adjusted on the bottom of the seat, you have to flip the whole thing upside down to get to the adjuster doohickey, and I hear it's a little tough. I know a mom with a kid in a probooster in her newer Ody and they just love it, though I don't know if it's in the third row or not.
