Do I need Parkway?

So I have been eyeballing the PW at albeebaby. DD1 wants Cinnabar. I know it is an older model and would only have 4 years left. It would replace the TB that she uses as a spare but says gives her "numb bum". Is the PW any more comfortable?
Also, how does it fit smaller boostered kids? I am watching a little 5.5 yo boy that weighs about 37 lbs and maybe 45" tall. I am comfortable with him a booster as it is only one trip back to his mom every Saturday and he does really, really well in my car. He stays sitting back and with belts placed properly and everything. He is perfect. He deserves a non-pink booster to sit in.
What do you think?

It fits small kids very well, but I'm not sure about the "num-bum." Does the TB not have any foam? Some models are cushier than others, so it's hard to say.

Graco has a gracopedic seat pad replacement available on their website for $11. That would likely work if your seat doesn't already have it. Just look under there, it's a separate piece of padding.

also, not to mess with your decision :D but albeebaby has the gracopedic foam TB model (G Galore) on their site for a ROCKIN' price of $39.99 right now. it's NICE.

we just got 2 of the cinnabars from Albee, b/c i needed 3 across in a VW Jetta--not easy! they are nice, but look like they've been in a box for 2 years. also, it is NOT bright red. i posted a "mini review" on the deals thread about the albee price. i'm glad i got them b/c $$$ is tight, and it saved me about $80 vs. waiting for the new PW SG, since i needed 2.

but our turbos are also really nice......

It is an older model from Target (2007, yes we got it when she was 3.5 but we were not in the financial state we are now and she hit 40 lbs. She went into a MA as soon as we could.) and it really doesn't have much padding, just the cover.

I think the Galore is a bit too girly for A.
I do like your review. I was hoping that the PW would fit next to the RNXT FF in the middle row since it doesn't have armrests, if I should ever need it to :)
I am kicking my self though for not grabbing a TB with lizard in a line last week at Kmart. I was too preoccupied with the party :(

Maybe I'll just get a Boyish TB for A now and save the money for the Oobr later. I really hate sales :p I love getting a deal and I am having to talk myself out of the matching BLVD for DD2 because wouldn't that be too cute :love: (Never mind that DD1 is about to out grow the Regent. I swear, I'm gonna put bricks on that child's head!)
