It's done, I ordered the Parkway for Kaeden

After much debating I have ordered the Britax Parkway for Kaeden. I have had him in his Cosco Alpha Omega booster seat for a few weeks now and he does excellent. he is always sitting correctly and asking me to tighten his belt when it is too loose because he leaned forward (those boosters SUCK) I had to move him to the booster because I feared for Kai's safety in the Alpha Omega because the seatbelt was next to impossible to tighten or loosen, even more impossible to buckle and there were a few times I didn't know if I was going to be able to get him out because the button was stuck and wouldn't UNbuckle. I decided to turn his seat into a booster for Kaeden and give him a trial run with it before ordering the Parkway or going with the Apex 65. I ended ordering the Parkway on Amazon and after applying for their credit card (which I'll pay off as soon as I get the firs tbill since I planned on spending approx 100 on the seat anyway) I only will pay 58 bucks for it! YIPPEEEE!!!!!!! Our first long distance trip will be next weekend to go to my family's for Easter and the seat should be here next week. I figure if I find that Kaeden does not do well in his booster I can test out my nephew's apex and see how he fits in it and run up to Tri Cities and buy him the 5pt if it's a big issue. I have a feeling it's not going to be an issue at all. He is very excited to receive his new seat and it's even in "racecar, nascar" ( speedway ) pattern so he's pretty stoked about that Thank you to everyone who helped me with this decision. I know that he should be in a 5pt as long as possible and I feel I have stretched it out longer then I would have had I not been on this board. He weighs 47lbs and has almost outgrown his marathon in height so as long as he behaves we're good to go in the Parkway!
