It came today! Pics of my kids in the PWSGL!

zactayaus · Dec 6, 2010

I took some pics of my kids in our brand new Parkway SGL in Cardinal.

Gavin has claimed it as his own

and would flip out any time anyone else would sit in it.

The only way dd was aloud to sit in the seat was if she held him and I had to let him help me take pics of Austin so he would stop screaming and trying to pull Austin out of the seat.

Taylor is 12 1/2 yo, 66lbs, 59", and has about a 21" torso (headrest is all the way up as high as it would go):

Austin is 7 1/2 yo, 45lbs, 47.5", and has about a 16 1/2" torso (headrest is up one click):

Gavin is 19 mo, about 26lbs, 34", and has about a 13" torso (headrest is all the way down and of course he will never ride in this):

And here's my little helper taking measurements of the seat for me

Wow. So Taylor has about two inches above her shoulder? I'd love to see how that is in the car with her as well, if you don't mind.

Looking at her is like seeing Piper's future. Though she's even lighter than Piper likely will be (Piper has been at the 10% for the last couple of years, though she's been off the bottom as well). Piper's got a 19" torso at 8 and is 48 pounds. Blond curly hair. Seriously, she is Piper in a few years.

Gavin's so cute. Laine loves boosters. She loves all carseats, but if you have a slew of them around she'll go to the booster. Go figure.

You have cute kiddos

I'm impressed your dd still has a little bit of growing room!

LOVE your daughters curls!

Ok, Wendy, we did a real quick run out to the car for pics. We have a windchill of 22 degrees with winds gusting over 40 mph right now so we were very quick. I didn't realize until after I looked at the pics that the belt isn't routed under the arm rest

but it was soooooo cold! I can get better pics for you on Wednesday if you'd like. There's one other thing I noticed right off the bat. When this seat's headrest is all the way up in my vehicle (a 2000 chevy suburban in the 2nd row passenger outboard position) the headrest on the PWSGL did not fit as well as I would have liked. It's just a little too tall. The right hand side of the headrest (if you were sitting in it) was being pushed forward and to the center of the vehicle because of the roof and pillar.

ETA: I think she lost a good inch in the car but will check when it's not so cold out and make sure that her hair is out of the way.

Any way here are our quick pics:

My 7 1/2 yo Austin. It will be going in DH's truck because he can never remember to buckle up the TB when not in use.

You wouldn't happen to have a Monterey to compare to would you? DD1 wants one and I want to make sure it has enough growing room. She'll need a HBB for DH's car soon. She is going to out grow the vehicles head rests before she passes the 5 steps and I want one with more growing room than the Monterey. The PWSGL looks like it may have it!

Sorry I don't.

All we have are TB's and now this. I sold off the boosters/seats we didn't use (a FPSVB, a Vivo Lite, a Nauti, and a Frontier) within the past two months.

I love that color!!!! (Yes, it does require that many exclamation points. Red is my favorite color and I wanted a red seat when I was a kid). Your kids are (of course) adorable!

wendytthomas · Dec 6, 2010

Thanks for braving the cold for the pics! I agree, about an inch in the car. I'm still shocked she fits at all, though.

Taylor looks so great in her seat!

Does she wear the Secure Guard Clip?
My oldest, 10yo, needs a new seat, so i think i buy a PWSGL for her. Do you think she can wear the clip? Or is it only for younger kids?

Thanks. Taylor will not be using this seat as we bought it for our 7 1/2yo. It's been so cold here that I haven't even installed in my dh's truck yet, but we'll be traveling on Sunday so I have to get it in before then. So as for the clip, for older kids I personally wouldn't worry about it too much but for younger kids I think it's great. Austin will definitely be using it as he tends to slouch as soon as he gets in his current seat (a TB).

They look great! Love how tall it is!

I'm not sure how to find it but someone posted pictures of the montrey and the slide guard together and I believe the slide guard was 2-3 inches taller.

It came today! Pics of my kids in the PWSGL!
