Which booster?

Sorry not sure where this question should go but it is an odd situation. Please feel free to move it.

I am 21yo and occasionally go on rides in the mountains with my parents. We always take their Nissan Frontier Club Cab. It has jump seats that pull down toward the front but they are tiny. We were discussing possible options and booster seats came up.

The seat is only a couple inches from the floorboard and is super shallow. There is a little pull out thing to accommodate a car seat's added length. My knees end up being above the seat a couple inches too. In short it is very uncomfortable and I end up sliding off frequently.

So my question is would a booster help the situation and is there one with enough seat length to make it more comfortable? I am not big (5'1" and 100lbs) but want a seat that goes to 120lbs. Not a high back either. If it makes any difference I fit width wise in a Nautilus and Turbo (this one is not too comfy though) but am over the weight limits.

Sorry for the random question. I am not a child but figured it anywhere had an answer for me you brilliant people would.

Thank you!

As long as you have head support to the tips of your ears, I would look into a Harmony Olympian. They're like $30 or so, but decent-sized (largest backless that I know of.)

If there's not head support, I would look into an original Britax Frontier... it's the tallest HBB on the market.

You all are great! Yes, there is head support. I guess I will look into the Olympian. Has anyone tried it out before? I am fairly small but have not heard of another adult using a booster before. It has to be more comfortable than the current setup at least.
