From the measurements I've seen online and the ones I've taken in person that isn't true. There is 1 inch difference between the turbobooster she is currently in and the Parkways I've measured and seen measurements for. I have thought about getting her a Parkway though. At her rate of growth that would probably give her 6 months to a year more in a high back booster and might get her to age 7.

You'll get a minimum of three more inches of torso growth. Possibly four or five.

Wow, that isn't what I've seen in the past, but the last time I looked at this was 6 months ago. What measurements have you gotten or seen on the Parkway? I'm not trying to be a pain here. I'm just trying to make sure the info is correct as the closest place I can see a Parkway in person is a good hour drive away. At her rate of growth it is hard to reason 1 inch more, but 3-5 inches more would probably give her a couple more years. That would be much more worth the expense in a super tight budget.

As it is if ds keeps growing at the rate he is I'll probably be looking in to the foundation that gives grants to keep young kids in harnessed seats longer. At 18 months he is almost 29 lbs. I think we are going to be glad we ended up getting the Scenera as we will probably be using it to 35 lbs rf. He carries a lot more of his length in his legs then dd does.

Thanks Chel, that's exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find.
