Several reviewers complained about the seat belt guide piece - sounds like if the child leans forward & the belt pulls out, it doesn't always retract? Anyone else having this issue?

I didn't have a problem with the belt pulling out. I had an issue with the entire seat back coming forward when I braked. I only used it for one trip down the road and after I saw that happen, I took it out and returned it. Interestingly, the clerk at the store where it was purchased was not surprised that we weren't happy with it and said he sees a lot of them returned. Hope that helps!

You're suppose to be able to get the updated seat belt guide from Britax for the regular Parkway (not the SGL) to alleviate this problem. I have not experienced it personally so I have not attempted the "fix."Contact Britax for the "replacement" guide from the regular Parkway.

This is true - it works better in our center position in the car than it does at either side.

I have never had any issues with the guide. Bought two of these for my kids a few months back and we love them!

I have only seen this issue when the back part is not raised high enough.... we simply went a click higher (kids head still in the top center) and the issue was resolved. it's about how high the belt feeder is in relation to the belt egress on the car. we also check it everytime.... I love the seat and it works great!

Does anyone have the same problem as in this video, where the seat rocks back and forth? _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZFzP0czM0

It stays on once attached and slides along the lap portion of the seatbelt for adjustment purposes but in my opinion, it slides way too easily and doesn't stay put when you attach the shoulder harness to it. I'm always fussing with it while driving, which is not a good thing.

Hi Camila, I was very disappointed to find out that "it doesn't" the way the prior models do, which as you may know, you just pull the handle between the child's fit and adjust, that easy... this model has 3 different positions but you can only change it by removing the carseat from the seat, adjusting the new position pulling a lever from the bottom back of the carseat and then installing it again, witch is very disappointing to me, I have 4 children (always have bought Maxi-Cosi) and that was the main thing I loved about this car seats.. the child is asleep, pull and change position, the child woke up, pull and seat him/her up again, sadly doesn't work like that with this one.

No it does not prevent the seatbelt from retracting. The clip easily slides along the seatbelt.

I'm not sure what your problem is but, I had no problem. I stretched the seat belt out as far as it would extend and threaded it as directed while still holding the seatbelt out and secured the belt in the lock. Then I let the belt go. It will not be as tight as it should. Put your knee in the seat and pull it tight and the seat should not move much. Of course I also had the top of the seat attached to the car loop. Hope that helps.

Mine goes then stops like the belt is slipping. Tried adjusting but did no good. Any ideas? Only used three times now.

We are using the brackets in the car seat along with the front tether. We tried the seat belts but the seat still felt a little loose. We feel that way about all the seats,not just this one.

I find that this model does not slide at all for me, even when empty. My area to cover is curved, as well. I don't even bother to secure it with the seat belt because it stays in place so well. Great Product! Go for it! Good Luck!

I would never, NEVER put the carseat in the back of this carriage... it's just not worth it. It's not the way the carriage was made or intended for use. Accidents happen...what if you were to tip the carriage up to go up a curb and the carseat fell out?!? I saw someone's review with a picture of the carseat in the back like you are describing and I thought to myself...CRAZY! Use the thing the way it was intended. Better to be safe than sorry. If you think your older child will get bored (?) give them a book to look at or play a little game with them like I Spy or soimething. Your sister doesn't even have this model carriage...don't do it. Follow the directions; it's better than a trip to the emergency room. And if you were to use it incorrectly and something went wrong; you'd look like such an incompetant when you explained how your child/children got hurt. I'm big for following directions and using things properly. Good luck!

Slide the pulling side back through the seat so you're pulling from the side opposite the slide lock. Also, rocking while pulling helps a lot. If that still doesn't work, tighten it a little more before you clip it to the D-ring.

I haven't had a problem with that. I just put the seat belt over it. So far I have not had a problem. I do recommend looping your belt through it if you are going to be engaged in a lot of physical activity. It tends to get bumped off if it is just attached by sliding it over the belt.

My daughter doesn't complain but I see her struggle with it and then simply use her right hand. Found this thread while trying to figure out how to rig it up for her. I just used a round hairband (like a rubber band) and extended it out. It seems pretty sturdy - we are traveling with it so if it holds up I will let you guys know.

Mine is very loose too... my 17 month old can remove it when she is playing with it and carry it all around the house. When it goes on the big toilet (as a transition seat) it locks very tightly though. I thought the same thing when I received mine, that there was something missing to make it fit better, but it's exactly like it should be according to the manual.

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

Yes, the seatbelt stays in the loop when unbuckled. It is very easy for my 4 year-old to buckle herself.
