Booster for Subaru Outback

I want to move Charlie into a booster in our third vehicle. He'll remain harnessed in a GN and FR85 in the other vehicles. I've put him in a HB TB in that car and the fit is perfect, but it's a complete pain to buckle.
I need something EASY to buckle in that vehicle. I can buy another harness and might just have to if I can't find a booster than fits, but I'd really rather put him in a booster. I can buy an Oobr from a very trusted friend (and member here) and I wonder if the rigid LATCH with the stiff sides might make it easier, kind of pinning the buckle against the side. Money isn't an object.

There's nothing about the TB that inherently makes it a pain to buckle. It's not the Vivo or Chicco Strada with their funky narrow gaps to squeeze the belt in. It doesn't have a super wide base that covers the buckle stalk. Is he buckling himself? Can you coach him on holding the female end in place with one hand?

It might be worth trying the Oobr, or another booster that utilizes LATCH, but it will depend entirely on the position of the lower anchors in relation to the buckle stalk, combined with the width of the base. Having something firmly in place may actually be more difficult if it obstructs the female end of the buckle at all. You'll just have to test them out. :shrug-shoulders:
