My DD will be 7 in March, 45-46in, 45 lbs. She is in a Regent as a primary seat in our van (2008 Town & Country, captain's chair, side-impact airbags) and in DH's Jeep she rides in a high-back Turbo. She has been asking for a booster for the van and at her age/size/maturity I know she will be okay.
With that being said, she wants another Turbo to use in the van. One with Gracopedic foam that she saw at BRU. She doesn't like confining headwings and has loved the openness of the Regent. We had a Parkway for awhile and she HATED the headwings. She is not a car sleeper. We do take 6-7 hour trips to visit my parents approx. every other month but she barely ever sleeps.
Would you be comfortable with a Turbo as your kid's primary seat at this size? I don't really want to shell out over $200 for an Oobr (and DH would kill me) and I really don't know if she'd like a Vivo either and can't find one IRL to try. I guess she will probably be in a backless booster in the next 2 yrs so I don't know if I want another strictly highback booster...but I would never want to compromise her safety. The Monterey was too wide for her, she is thin/narrow. Does the Vivo have confining headwings? Would a Turbo w/ gracopedic foam be comfortable for a 7 hour trip?? Any advice would be great...
