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!

It doesn't stay on as in lock on, it just sits loosely on top of the seat buckle. But you don't have to take it on and off, I usually do take it off and put it in the behind the seat pocket so the kids don't move it somewhere else.

I had the same problem the first time I took it out. Then I noticed that the rudder (thing sticking out the bottom) has to be in the back when traversing through the water. I turned the seats around, positioned the rudder in the back, and it was perfect.

If the chest plate doesn't stay latched, then it's faulty. I would return the seat for another. I had that problem occasionally on the first Boulevard we owned, but this new model seems to have a better design and we've had no trouble.

There is an almost continuous creaking sound emanating from behind the seat where the sliding seat meets the seat track. It appears that the two do not fit snugly, even when the knob is tightened, leading to this very annoying sound. I've tried inserting a rubber wedge into the place where the track and seat meet, but it still doesn't solve the problem.

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

We have two of these car seats, and I've noticed that on one of them, the cover always comes off at the top. It doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the seat, so we've just dealt with it - but it is very annoying.

Had this set for a few months now and never had this happen to us. I hadn't seen the warning about locking the front wheels but I definitely noticed that its much harder to steer with the carseat attached due to the weight being shifted more to the front above the front wheels. I sprayed some WD-40 on the front wheel area that rotates and it helped this issue a lot. Other than this steering issue we've had no other problems/complaints with this system. I haven't rated this item but I'd rate a 4 star if I do.

Hi Dave, We initially had the same problem... those poor little feet. However, if you look at page 10 of the Owner's Manual the instructions (and diagrams) state "Pull on small loop until the sewn end of the loop passes through the adjustment buckle. Continue to pull out the small loop until the strap is the proper length". We fiddled around with this for a while until we figured out how it worked. I was a bit confusing to say the least! Our 5 month old absolutely loves this toy now. Hope this helps. Lynn

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

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.

I managed to get the front seat belt wrapped around it and clicked in place. It wasn't a sure thing but kept it from sliding forwardin braking situations. Hope this helps

It stays in place, even when you take off the seatbelt. That way, it is exactly where you want it when you get back into the car. I really like this one. I keep an extra in my purse for riding in other cars. Really, it's GENIUS!

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.

No. My only issue was the seat. It didn't tighten correctly. Seat tended to move more than I liked. Other than that my kids have rode it hard. Now my sisters kids play with it.

Natalie - For some reason the only trouble of that sort we've had is when we push it on the lawn. We've found that if we pull back on the handle a bit it seems to straighten out. It doesn't happen all the time or for that matter, all that often but that's how we address it. Our grandson loves his little car and we spend most of our time pushing him on the sidewalk to avoid the wheel problem. It's really the only problem we've had with it. Design flaw?

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!
