Okay, so I've finally gotten the OK from dh to purchase a booster. I am 90% sure I want to get the Parkway, but the FPSVB keeps nagging at me because of it's narrowness (and cheapness). I was hoping you all could talk me through it and help my indecisive self!
My situation is that I want the booster to fit 3-across in my '04 CR-V for the summer (I am borrowing a Radian until Oct). My setup is: rfing MA (passenger side outboard) and Radian (center). The booster would go outboard on the driver's side. I was able to fit an Evenflo booster (not sure exactly which one, I think the Big Kid?) in that spot the other day and it wasn't too bad. I could also fit a TurboBooster there.
I want to buy the Parkway (for the lack of armrests, lightweight, SIP and belt guide tallness), I am just concerned about the Parkway being possibly wider than those seats and not fitting? Can anyone enlighten me on whether or not that is the case? I *know* the FP would fit since it is narrower than a TB, so that is the safe choice, and I guess it would be nice to have a super narrow booster around in the future when I get a van to fit 3-across the 3rd row, but if someone could tell me that the Parkway will fit and/or that it is the same width or narrower than the Evenflo or TB then I'm gonna click 'buy' on that one because I like it alot better!
When my dd outgrows her Regent/Husky I'm going to get her a Monterey (or maybe the new Clek hbb, we'll see... ) as her main seat in my car and whatever booster I buy now will go in dh's car as her secondary seat. His car does not have LATCH, so I want to buy a lightweight booster to go there (why I'm not buying 2 Monterey's). For now this booster will be used to carry friend's in our car this summer and as a seat for dd for friends/cousins/gma's cars (I can't be installing/uninstalling the Regent in other people's cars all the time- and it usually doesn't fit!) so being lightweight and easy to buckle when I'm not there is doubly important. Which is what led me to feel that the Parkway would be perfect, but I'm just so scared that I'll get it and it won't fit in the CR-V!
Can someone please reassure me? :thanx!:
