5 to 6 was nauti to turbo. at 5 it was like 99% nauti, 1% turbo, and throughout the year it became 99% turbo, 1% nauti. Average size, literally around 50% on the charts.

DD is newly 5 and is riding in a Nauti in our vehicle and Frontier XT in my parents' vehicle; harnessed mode in both vehicles. She's 43" I think and 42#. I think she's right around 50th percentile, like bobandjess99's kiddo (grandkiddo? not sure which one she is referring to 
)

A Radian XTSL in the Civic, and Monterey (or sometimes the Radian or a Complete Air) in the Suburban.
Last time I weighed her she was 50 lbs and 48" tall. I think she's grown since then, but all in the legs so it hasn't affected the fit of the Radian. Her shoulders are right at the top slots. She will be six in December.
I got her a RSTV for when she outgrows the Radian (I have another Radian in the center so I can't fit a booster in the car at all and I've tried everything but a Bubble Bum).

She likes the CA better than the FR because it's "pretty" (Oxygen cover). I imagine she'll have to go in the FR in the next few months. For short trips around town she sometimes rides in 7yo's Monterey. She fits fine and sits great, I just like the harness because: 1. I can use the lap belt, 2. She still sleeps a lot in the car, 3. She can usually buckle it herself.

Megan is 6, about 48lbs and 48 inches tall. She rides in a harnessed Nautilus in the van with me, an old style parkway in her dad's car, and a hbtb in her grandparent's vehicles. She is pretty much maxing out the harness on the Nautilus, so we will likely be switching to a designated booster on the van soon.
Oh, and she's in grade 1, she wouldn't like me referring to her as a kindergartener, lol.

DD2 is full-time in a ProSport. She occassionally rides in a TB or Oobr, both of which fit her great.

Elizabeth just turned 5 is 49 lbs and 44 inches tall. She rides in the radian in my van, a nautilus in Brian's car, and I have another nautilus as a spare.
She is very close to the top slots on the radian. I want to keep her in it as long as she fits because it sits lower in the van and I can see out the back.
She has been in a booster once, pro booster, and did fine.

Ds is almost 5, he is 20kg/40lbs & 113cm/44 inches. He rides in a frontier (top slots) in my car, a radian (top slots) in his dads car, a Monterey in my dads car & a turbo in anyone else's car.
He will be switching to a booster full time when he is 5, because he knows the rules & follows them beautifully & because he asked.
He's also the oldest kid harnessed in his class i live in the land of newly turned 3 year olds in nbb

Gilbey is 5 years 2 months, is 43 inches, and weighs 39 pounds.
Currently he rides in a Safeguard Child seat or regent in my car and 2 radians in the other 2 cars he's in regularly. He rides in a turbo booster when we go to the drive-in to make it easy to tumble the back row of the van.

In kindergarten (both years), my DD was harnessed in a Britax Frontier 85. She's now in 1st grade and still rides in one. I don't remember her stats off the top of my head, but right now she's 47.5" and 57-58 lbs (@ 7 years old).
My DS1, as a kindergartner, rode in an old-style Britax Parkway booster. He's now in 3rd grade and rides in a Britax Parkway SG.
