I need something I can order off Amazon.com or something I can have family pick-up.
Just a cheap backless booster.

Johnathon is 45-46lbs, 47.5-48" w/ a 17" torso (had a HUGE growth spurt)!

I need something that would be used in mostly European cars, so semi-narrow in case they need to do a 3 across.

He is tall and skinny so he definetly doesn't need anything super wide.

I am using the Apex as a back-up for Seth once River is in the Blvd. (He will be FF then anyways)....

Thanks

What about another high back turbo?

This backless is cheap, somewhat narrow and does a good job of positioning the lap belt imo. (http://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Ambassador-Positioning-Backless-Booster/dp/B000UCHJA2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1240892766&sr=1-8)

Looking for a backless. He will most likely NEVER EVER use it at I can't get dh to spend the money on a high-back. Go Figure.!.!.
If I KNEW he was going to use it more then once or twice then I would totally get another high-back.

Yep, backless turbo positions well, comes with a clip, is cheap-ish. :)

Michael uses a backless turbo in friend's Cars(just to go around the block :D ).

It is cheap and works great and has the belt guide if needed. Certain cars he needs it, certain cars he doesnt'(need the belt guide)

My Cosco Ambassador came with a clip too. I think they're kind of fiddly, junky to work with often. E fit well in the cosco booster with the shoulder belt positioned properly when I tried her in it at 4 years old, so it's likely that Johnathan would fit well too I bet.

Is this a pretty new seat? At first, they had them, then they didn't for a long time, so if this is new, I'm really excited (not that I use the things, but one should be up to date on one's product knowledge :whistle:)
