Where to see Parkway booster?

[KrisM]

TRU online says it's not in stores. Really?

I was hoping to try it out and see if it fits in my car. Target didn't have it. Who might have it in a store?

I wish I knew. I'm *sick*to*death* of having 3 Turbos and a Big Kid at BRU...hoping the new IIHS report saying the PW is good will spur the BRU buyer into getting us one. Do you have any decent small local baby stores near you? Call around and ask?

A friend of mine bought one this past weekend at a BRU near Philly.

Excellent! <crossing fingers my low end store gets them, too>

[KrisM]

I'll stop at BRU and see. That would be great!

Not sure where in MI you are but this store: http://www.toyhouseonline.com/ is known to carry a good selection of seats. :)

Too bad - they're about 2 hours away and on my way to nothing :(.

I'm north of Detroit.

Neither my TRU or BRU has them in the store :(.

I'll try to find a place to try it out.

There's a Buy Buy Baby on Hall Road/ M-59 at Schoenherr in Utica (kitty-corner from Lakeside Mall). I haven't been in it, but we drove by when we were in MI over the weekend. Maybe they have the Parkway in store?

They're on my list to call tomorrow to see. It's not super close, but I can get there reasonably enough.

thanks!

Kris - Any luck finding the Parkway in store?

[KrisM]

Forgot to call! I'll post if I do find one.

I haven't gone to the store yet, but Buy Buy Baby does have them in the store to check out (and purchase). I will hopefully get out there this week.

- Do I need to have DS with me? It would be easiest if he wasn't because I could leave his current seat at home and see if the booster fits with the other seats in the car.

I don't think a kid is necessary for an exploratory journey... and every kid I've seen so far fits great (lapbelt low, shoulderbelt on shoulder)...

[KrisM]

The more I thought about it the more I was sure it wouldn't matter if he came. He will only be using the backless part for the next bit and wouldn't be in it full time for another year or so, and clearly he'll grow between now and then :).

That's good to know, in case I get the urge to go booster-shoping next time I'm out there visiting my parents. DS loves his brand new Monterey and it fits him really well, so I really don't need another booster. But it's always fun to look!
