This review is from: Britax Parkway SGL Booster Seat, Cloudburst (Baby Product)
This is a nicely designed seat, but has few issues. We like the latch connectors that are easy to use, overall comfort and fit. The fabrics choices are poor compared to older Britax seats, like the first generation of Parkway booster. Cardinal is slippery and noisy nylon. Would be easy to clean, but would you let your kid sit on something so uncomfortable, particularly in summer? Nah. We returned it and got Cloudburst instead - I think this is the only soft-touch fabric available for the SGL model (it is similar to touch to Maui Blue we have on Britax Frontier 85 seat).

Also the belt guides are over-designed and can cause the belt to jam, depending on the position of the belt and with what force it retracts. This is a serious safety issue if the kid leans forward and the belt does not retract. Luckily the belt guides from Parkway SG model can be retrofitted to it (they fit perfect), although they have the opposite problem of letting the belt slip out (Hello, Britax, I wonder, is it that hard to design decent belt guide? Some common sense would be all that's needed one would think).

The seat has sharp edges in the back so you definitely want to use a seat protector in order to prevent scuff to the upholstery.

Advice - if you are not going to use LATCH you're better off getting Parkway SG. We like LATCH because it keeps the seat in place and prevents it from becoming a projectile if unoccupied and not belted in in an accident.

UPDATE 9/29/11: The replacement guides for Parkway SG that you can directly order from Britax are perfect! They are different and improved than "stock" ones I saw on a Parkway SG. They do net let the belt slip out and there is no bump that would cause it to jam. Parkway SGL with the replacement SG belt guides is a perfect booster seat.
