Clek used to make one, but they are probably all expired now.
The old parkways didn't have armrests - maybe that's what you're thinking of?
In a tight 3-across the Bubblebum might work better. We don't have the Incognito, but from the dimensions it's wider than the BB. The BB is narrow enough to fit nicely in the center of our Mazda3 (which only has 8-9" between the seatbelt stalks).
Would one with flip up armrests work at all, or is that still too cumbersome?
Were you thinking of the Maxi Cosi RodiFIX?

Yes, that was the expensive HBB I was thinking of. I just can't justify that for occasional use. I guess I've covered the only options, then? Is that right?

I have not used one of these, but remember discussions about them. The Evenflo Big Kid and Safety 1st Boost Air Protect both have flip arm rests I think.
Some of the evenflo big kids have flip up arm rests. I think they are the "dlx" version. The big kid sport does not.
I have found that the Cosco HiRise/Ambassador (same seat different names) works really well for three across. It is narrow and even more narrow at the back where you buckle plus the armrests are high so it is easy to fit a hand in to buckle. It fits both my 42 lb 6 yr old and my 77 lb 9 yr old great. They are also inexpensive.
I'm not sure what vehicle you are trying to fit it all in but I can get HiRise/convertible/HiRise in the third row of my 03 caravan which is narrow between the wheel wells. I've never tried a booster in the middle of the two because I only have a lap belt there. I used to have a parkway and I think it would have worked.
FWIW Jake finds an RSTV way easier to unbuckle and buckle than the bubble bum (so now I have a bubble bum just sitting in my trunk)
