I think it’s going to be difficult to give you a concrete and absolute answer to the question, but I think there is one obvious answer that should be followed.
Your parents should assume that the advice they got from the border agent was accurate, and they should honour the request.
There is a chance that they could stay longer and be fine – in fact, I think the odds are even pretty good that this is the case. However, the risk of staying beyond the date approved at entry is that they could be refused entry in the future for having breached the condition.
As mentioned by others, going to Canada or Mexico does not reset the I-94 time.
So, even though it may not be what they desire, I’d assume that what they were told is correct. The risk of being wrong that that time limit doesn’t apply seems too high a price to pay, if they expect to be traveling to the U.S. in the future.
