My 7 year-old is 51 inches tall. Will this Britax Parkway high-backed booster seat will accommodate a child who is that tall?

Hi. My 5 year old is not quite that big yet, but the back extends quite high. The height of the back extended is about 28 inches from the top of the car seat to the top of the back. Also, the back can be removed and seat used as a booster. In fact, the booster is also highly rated.

It would likely depend on the height and weight of the child comparing with the recommendations of the manufacturer. There may be more versatile high chairs or booster chairs available for an older child. We did not look as our little boy is less than one year old and on the smaller side. Good luck~!

My grandson will be 5 soon and loves it!! It sits lower than a regular seat, more like a booster seat. Should work until child is old enough or large enough to not be in safety seat

booster seats are totally affected by the seat belt placement on the lap, this is why they say things about height. You can judge how your child sits in any booster as to if they fit or not once they reach the legal and safest age but my 8 year old still uses this seat as a booster with the seat belt.

Yes! We got this Britax for my husband's car when my daughter was 28 lbs. She is now 35 lbs and still fits perfectly. I like this one better than our other Britax for bigger kiddos because she is able to sit "up" a little better and see out the windows. (Our other Britax seems to cuddle her back down in the seat more - worked well when she was smaller.)

According to the seat's manual and manufacturer's website, its good for heights of 38-63" with backrest (or shoulder heights of 15 to 21.5")... but then you can remove the back rest and it's good for up to 120 lbs (or whatever your state laws are for height). Good rule of thumb is when the child's ears reach the top of the head rest, it's time to readjust. My daughter is 7 and tall and fits in this seat very comfortably.

Hi Nicole, On the Britax website (http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/boulevard-70-g3) it says that the max height for both rear and front is 49 inches. They recommend your child be rear facing until the age of 2. Hope this helps!

I honestly was told by my daughter's pediatrician that a child over 40lbs can begin to sit on a booster seat. Hope this helped.

I'm not sure the max height for the car seat itself but it can convert to a booster seat and accommodate over 4'

As long as there is ample room for this item to fit and the booster seat fits securely it should work great!

No, I don't think it would work w a tall 7 year old. I don't believe there would be enough knee room.

I would also like to see someone address this. I have a 3 1/2 year old who is in the lower percentages for his age. He is 33 lbs and so it says (on the "fit my child" part of the Britax website) that either the Advocate or the Frontier would work for him.The differences I see is the Advocate sits up slightly higher, and it reclines.But the Frontier has arm rests and cupholders.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that children can advance to a booster seat when they are at least 4 years old and 40 pounds. I think the height is 40 inches but I'm not sure. They also say that children should stay in a booster until they are 8 years old and 60 lbs. I love these seats. They're light, easy to clean and my girls say they are comfortable. Hope this helps.

The owners manual states 49 inches or less. Our son was almost 24 inches at birth. This seat has one of the highest height ratings we could find. I suggest visiting the Britax website for the best product descriptions. We compared a lot of seats and found the Britax line to be the best seats for the money. A friend has the Britax marathon and suggested the brand. Amazon had the best price. And free two day shipping with my Prime account. Also fits very well into all the vehicles we have put it in. Could not be happier with this car seat. Hope this helps.

Yes, your child should be tall enough, if not you could use the buckle to strap them in and drive it for him until he or she is tall enough.

Yes. My daughter was about 55" when we purchased it for her and she didn't have any problems riding it. She's now 56" and it still fits great.
