GN next to TB. Fits just fine, but it's very hard to buckle and unbuckle.
Almost no space next to it. I don't think she could even undo this by herself.
Maestro next to TB. Fits well as well. Still hard to buckle, but not as bad as the FR or GN. (Yes, those are aftermarket strap covers. I made them. They're two layers of flannel and no thicker than a flannel shirt. I am making the parental decision to use them if I keep this seat.)
She probably can't buckle it, but I'm sure she could unbuckle.
Both install easily. In looking at my manual, I see that Evenflo changed "should use as a booster if you can't use the tether" to "strongly encourage you to use the tether if using the 5 pt harness". I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically it which is what all car seat manufacturers recommend. So now I'm more confused.
