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.

I measured the straps from hook to the end of the strap is 20 inches. I am not sure if that would go around a booster seat. I have a harness for a large dog but I would assume the straps that hook to the child seat hooks under the seats would be the same length.

No. My son is 5' 10-11" and he fits perfectly. I think you would be too tall to ride comfortably.

5'2"??? You could get a booster seat. Jk. The back moves up and down and the armrests move in (towards your body) and out. Now you can't move them in any further than the edges of the seat. So I don't know if that's enough for you. I would think so. It's a great chair.

I'm using it on a Britax car seat. Works perfectly. I'm not sure about the high back booster, but I imagine it would. It has quite a bit of stretch. I sometimes put it on my seat, when my grandchildren are not with me. Hope this helps.

My son is 6 years old 55lbs and 3 foot 10 Inches. We love this seat but we still usually use the britax seat with the harness as a 5 point harness is always safer.

I think a better way to address this issue is to start with the key dimensions of the booster seat itself. I measured the one I have for my grandson in the back of my Cadillac Escalade, where space is clearly not a problem. The base of the booster seat is just under 17" wide by about 16" deep. A quick measurement of the seats in your coupe should give you a good idea as to how well this booster seat will fit in its intended location. I believe these booster seats are designed to fit virtually any vehicle.

The seat is quite wide (even for my 44", 44lb 6-year old son). I don't know that width affects safety at all, but you might want to find something snuggier like a Graco booster.

I don't believe so. My daughter is 53 inches tall and found it to be too short.

Britax.com has all the specs for the booster including the dimensions, weight, and the max child shoulder height etc. It is a very good resource.

The front seat is great for tall children! My 45 inches tall 5 year old still fits.

No, I don't think so. I bought mine for a 2 1/2 yr. old plus there is an adjustable seat - 3 positions- I like the tall flag for safety reasons when they ride around, too.

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

I think the chair will lift high enough. However, at 6'4", I think the chair is probably too small for him. I don't think it will provide enough leg support or head support. Usually this chair is not recommended for anyone over 6'. You might want to consider a chair designed for taller individuals like the Mega Motion Superior.

Booster seats all depend on height and weight. If your child is not a certain height to have a seat belt on in the appropriate places; but is out of car seat, then yes it would be appropriate. This seat fits my six year old just right. I would confirm with your state laws as well. http://www.iihs.org/laws/SafetyBeltUse.aspx

My grandson is a tall 7 year old, 52" tall and if anything it is just a LITTLE big for him but he has no problem riding it. Hope this helps.

My son is only 43" so he isn't in the booster yet but has plenty of room to grow. The website says 57" and 120lbs is the max. so not sure why that wouldn't work for a booster. I'm sure it is give or take if your child has a long torso and shorter legs vs. a shorter torso and longer legs. So even though my son isn't using this as a booster yet I'm planning on using it for that and don't see a problem with it. Hope that helps. I know every child is different but I've found this seat to be awesome so far.
