What do you think of these boosters?

Trying to find a booster that we like better than the TB.
I want more substantial headwings. I am of the opinion (it may be wrong, but what-ev ;)) that they are essentially useless if they aren't huge. lol Go big or go home, right? I also hope to find a seat I can use in all three (or at least two) of my second row seats.

Tried these two over the past couple days.

Britax Parkway SG:

With SG clip


W/O SG clip


What I didn't like about the parkway is the headwings weren't any deeper than the turbo, and it can't be used in two of the three second row seats in my car (to wide for one, and the other has a buckle stalk that's too long and prohibited per the manual)

I tried the Safety 1st air booster today and I think I reeeeeeeally like it. But I'm not sure again about whether it's OK in my two difficult seats so I'm hoping for feedback on it.

This is where the buckle falls on the long stalk position:

I didn't get a chance to read the manual (K-mart let me take it to the car to try it out) So does someone have this seat who knows if this is ok?

It's also a bit wider than the space in the center seat:

I assume that means it doesn't fit/can't be used in this position, is that correct?

Here's pics in a 'normal' seat.

LOVE those headwings.

Belt-fit good?


Thoughts?

You have car headrests in all of the places the Air Boost would go? The booster's headrest doesn't support itself during a crash, so it requires support to the level of her eyes from the car.

I like the fit with the SG clip better in the Parkway, and the Boost is fine, though the lapbelt is just a hair high.

I have headrests for every seat. Is the lapbelt fit concerning, or is it good, but not perfect?

I picked the pro booster after trying out several boosters for my 7yo. Fits her great. I much prefer the old style parkway to the new, belt fit and sip was so much better in the old one, glad mine haven't expired yet.

I am in love w/ the probooster. But I'm scared of the tippy talk.
