Bad Britax!

I was checking out Britax's page for the new ParkwaySG and I saw this

120-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort through the toddler years

What?! I'm hoping that it's just a case of someone in advertising not understanding booster use or something, but still.

I feel like I should write to Britax to get them to change the wording. Does anyone have an address?

Those are some awfully hefty 120 lb toddlers :rolleyes: .

The minimum weight is 40 lbs- which is like above the 97th percentile for a 3 year old. And 3 year olds aren't toddlers. So, um, yeah.

I can't help but find it odd that they aren't more careful, I mean they know we are reading the site. :whistle:

It's careless- it's kind of their catch phrase, it looks like, for the "weight limit" icon. The Roundabout 50 says:

50-pound Weight Capacity
for safety and comfort through the toddler years


The Advocate, Boulevard, and other 65lb convertibles say:
65-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort through the toddler years

The Regent does not use the phrase, though, and neither does the Frontier, nor the 40lb seats.

You could PM Sarah Tilton (I think that's the right spelling). Or email the CPSPlist, I know they have reps that watch that. I think it's Sarah, actually.
