What's the best Harness Booster option for '10 Prius?

Ideally I'd like to keep my 5-year old daughter in the center seat. She has just about grown out of her Marathon on the height side and I'm trying to find the next step. The Britax Frontier doesn't seem to work in the center seat in my Prius so I'm wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for a seat that will work there so I don't have to move her to the outboard seat. Perhaps the Nautilus? Or the new Argos?
Thanks so much,
Julie

The Nautilus, Argos, or Evenflo SecureKid should work well. Make sure you're installing with the seatbelt there.

Thanks! Definitely installing with seatbelt - just want to make sure there is something protecting the back of the carseat so the straps don't press right up against the back of the car's seat. Have you seen the seats you list installed in the center of a Prius?

Nope. Even though every third car in Seattle is a Prius, I've only done about half a dozen, and they've all been infant seats, or moving up to convertibles. I did one Nautilus, on the side with LATCH, and it was as easy as any other car.

Ha! Same is true in Santa Monica. I guess I can just bite the bullet and keep her in the Frontier behind the passenger seat - I've just been so spoiled having her in the middle and wanted to keep it that way. ;-)

Thanks so much! Sounds like I might need to send the Frontier back and get the Nautilus instead. Or just get over it and keep her outboard. ;-)
