I really need to get my kiddos back in boosters. The baby will be in a MA in the center of DH's truck (98 Explorer). My new RA50 will be here tomorrow for the center of my car (06 Accord). Which backless boosters will puzzle on the sides of these seats? I would love to see pics as well. Also, we're on a tight budget and since I need to buy 4:eek: they need to be somewhat inexpensive. Below are my kids stats:

DS1 10yo - 55.5" - 65lbs.
DD 8yo - 49.5" - 50lbs.

I'm not positive on their weights since we don't have a scale, but I think this is what they were the last time at the Dr. within the last year.

Thanks!!

Probably the Cosco (High Rise/Ambassador) is the best bet. Buy one and try it in all positions first?

That's the one I was considering. It's also $16 at walmart!

I can tell you the Turbo (I have the high back, but the base is the same as the backless) puzzles well with a FF BV. It's a pain to buckle though... But it can be done. I can try it RF too if you'd like.

Hmm, think I have pics of that! Well, a decathlon, which would be similar to the roundabout 50.

this is on the lowest armrest setting.

The TB does, both RF and FF. Buckling is still a PITA, though. I've got pics somewhere... No, never mind, it doesn't show the boosters puzzling with the MA, just the kids sitting in them.

Hmm, it looks like it would be hard to buckle. But I'm sure any seat would be. This is the reason they are not in seats to begin with.:o

If you can find the fisher price seat... or a parkway... those both puzzle nicely. I have them in my sister's car next to the marathon...

My then 8 year old was able to buckle herself next to a ff dc. Just fyi:)

The nice thing about the Ambassador/High Rise is that the seat part curves in under the armrests - so even if the armrest is snug against the seat next to it, there's still room to buckle.

I've used one next to a regular Roundabout in the past.
