It just arrived. I can hardly wait to see it. I only wish it wasn't gray and gray! I'll try really hard to post some pictures later. You know how I have issues with this. If it works out I'm getting the pink one for Hannah.

Listen, woman, you posted this almost 45 minutes ago. This is an unacceptable delay.

I had to take a shower and I'm working on the photos this very second on the other computer. Have patience! I just had surgery ya know, and the thing is heavy!

ETA: Still loading. Can I just post a link to photobucket?

Yay! It does. Is there anything else right now? Well, it will take me 45 minutes or so!

Well, now you're asking too much! There are no kids here today. They aren't even accessible, they're at their dad's. Their mom is working. So sorry!

Maybe soon, if no one else complies before the moons line up correctly for kids to be available.

I couldn't really compress the seat and take the picture, so the measurements are probably about 1/2 inch off. I took it out and installed it. It went in easily. When I tightened the latch, it's snug - you can't pull it out from the seat bight. It does move side to side I'd say about 2 inches.

Me too! I'd really love a comparison of a kid in the old PW SG and the new SGL to see if there really is a better shoulder belt fit.

Well, at the back, it's 9 inches going down to 8 inches, at the front of the wings it's about 10.5 inches.

Oh, I forgot to mention - my Parkway's seat isn't just plastic with a cover over it. It's got a foam type cushion underneath the seat cover that's about an inch thick. Did the old Parkway's have this kind of seat?

the original parkways (no armrests) had it... and it definitely made for a cushy ride... I also think it makes the cost more worth it... the Recaro Vivo also has a layer of thick foam padding under the cover on the seat portion and really... just makes you wish for one in an adult size... cause it feels super comfy.

The difference seems negligible to me, though I can see that it is possible that there could be a minor improvement depending on the car and vehicle. I have comparison photos of the old and new Parkway here, including some of the pink cover-

Cool. I just got an email that mine has shipped (ordered it Wed with the Goores sale) so hopefully it gets here before we go out of town next weekend. I'll definitely post pics with a smaller kid (DD is almost 40lb, not sure on height - we don't plan on using it yet but I couldn't pass up the deal).
