My oldest is about 37 lbs now, so I anticipate having to get her a booster for DH's car soon. It will be either a TB or a BG. (Someone posted on another board that BRU may be clearanceing BGs so I may pick one up soon. )I would prefer the BG since she is outboard, but for those with the BG do you think the lock-offs will make it more difficult to buckle her in? Since my almost 2 year old is outgrowing the RA rfing, I think I will put her in the FF in the Next Step in the center (since it is narrower than both the FPSE and RA) and have the FPSE RFing in the other outboard position. Having the NS in the middle should free up a little room for the BG/TB...

It works GREAT for us....
I have a RF RA in the middle, and the BG outboard (and could fit another BG/SRC or a CarGo on the other side). I was using a Touriva RF and a CarGo, which worked, but the RA/BG combo gives my 10yo DD more room.
I don't have any problems reaching in to buckle it, though I DID when I had it next to the Touriva. It is "harder" to buckle than a traditional booster, but it's no more difficult or time consuming than a 5-pt harness.

I haven't heard anything, yet. I'd hope if they know something that a recall is forthcoming. It's relatively unusual for any booster to have a major safety problem, since it is the vehicle seatbelt that is restraining the child. I suspect there is a better chance that the BRU person didn't know what they are talking about, but you never know....

I went to BRU and was told they discontinued them because "The Turbo Booster is the same thing for a lot less money". 
BRU stopped selling them or Britax stopped making them? That is the confusing part.
I know the TB is wildly popular, and DD wants the princess one (which I feel is very safe in my 2004 sienna with side curtain airbags), but I would like a BG for the Outback since she sits outboard....Maybe I will put her in a TB in the middle if she can get to the buckle.
