I need a spare for inlaws house want to keep there.
dd is almost 6 46 inches tall give or take around 55lbs and has about a 17 ish torso

Cars
F250 Truck bench seat no head rest (dorel seats out)
94 Linclon Town car
A 2000s Jetta not sure on the year
Pic of what Turbo does and the head rest itself

Turbo is out as well Should I let dd go backless as that car does have side curatin air bags and this is for every now and then Oh and SIL will not not allow me to remove the head rest as you have to unlock the seat fold it down take head rest off and the lock the seat back up. Even if I move the head rest all the way up its in the way.
Need to be able to get from Walmart only place I can have access to return in store (unless dd should go backless in the jetta) and under $150
And would like to last at least 2 to 3 years
Here is a pic of the room dd has left

If it's such a hassle with the Jetta I might just go backless. Is she in that vehicle often/long and is she likely to ever fall asleep in it? Would she sit ok without the extra support? If it's just for short trips, I would pick up a cheap backless for that vehicle. I got a Harmony backless from Walmart (we're in Canada, YMMV) for FIL's truck, it fit DS very well and he is only 42lbs and very approximately the same height.

As for the other vehicles, I don't know. It would depend on how she fits in them, I guess, and your budget.

Any rides with the In laws will be short. If they do take a long Jetta trip I could get them to remove the head reast like last time but for short trips they dont want to mess with it. At least I have conviced them to use dd seat right. I have a Harmony and fits great but she needs the darn guide for my truck not sure about the Jetta. They have an extra turbo backless and Cosco Backless as that I can say ok to in the Jetta need to get the screws in their turbos though (geez its such a head ache with them)

I am really leaning toward the compass ones so it can be folded out of the way just not sure if dd would fit in it since walmart has them for 70ish its not the New Pathway though.
