We tried out the Monterey today at USA Baby.
DD fit a lot better than I expected. I'm not a tech, but by my untrained eyes, the fit looked fine, if anything maybe the belt was a little too close to her neck, but it wasn't too wide for her. I wasn't expecting the fit to be that good.
I don't know if she is too short for it though, if her head is supposed to be up higher in the head rest. It was as low as it goes.
It fit well in the car (a 2007 Camry) though I didn't try to LATCH it in because it was cold and the lady from the store was watching me, I didn't want to take more time than necessary to see if she fit.
So, I liked the fit, but this is still going to be a no go because it's way too difficult to buckle, it's harder for me to do than the Turbo booster, and even that is a pain.
I'm not even going to try a parkway sg or sgl, after seeing the Montetrey in the car, I know those would be even worse.
Since she fit in this better than I expected, the next one I'll try will be the Compass B570, if I can find a store that has one, or in a few months I'll order one from somewhere that I can return easily if needed.
Pics.
Ignore the goofy expression, she was trying not to smile.
For reference, this is how she fits in the Radian. She's almost even with the 2nd to top slots.
