So a few months back I bought a Parkway at Sears for $40. We've used it as a 2nd seat for DS, so it hasn't been used very much at all....maybe 10-15 times. Well, the other day when I was bringing it into the garage from dh's car, I noticed that the headrest wasn't locking in place. It wouldn't stay "up" in any position...it just fell back to the lowest position. So I called Britax and they said it needs to be replaced. They can send me another one in Granite or Brownstone (the one we have is Granite) or she offered to send me a Monarch instead. I love the idea of having a Monarch, but I know it won't fit as well in a 3-across situation, which is what we'd be using it in a lot of the time. What do you think I should do? The frugal part of me says, "Get the more expensive seat while you can!" But the logical part of me says, "A seat that doesn't fit where you need it to won't do you any good." Anybody with experience here? Does the Monarch puzzle well w/other Britax seats? Is it just too wide to do a 3-across w/it? Also, I'm a little nervous now about getting another Parkway. I know this is probably a fluke, but do you know if this has happened to a lot of Parkways?
Tell me what I should do!!!!!!
Oh, also she said I'd need to send the cover back (not the plastic). They'll send me a shipping label, but I'm a little frustrated because I was thinking that would be the one good thing to come out of this.....that I'd now have an extra cover. Is there anything I can do about that?
