If a child's ears are a hare over the top of the regent

Are there boosters that she won't fit into? I know the regent was a pretty tall seat. She has outgrown that and mom is looking to buy her a high back booster. Are there smaller hbb's she should stay away from?? Child will be 8 in 2 months- I don't know her height and weight, but she has just outgrown the regent and she's very skinny.

She's not going to have much time in a Turbobooster. I'm sure there are other short boosters, but that's one that comes to mind.

Where are shoulders in relation to top shoulder straps on the Regent?

I haven't seen her in the regent recently. Short of busting into my sister's vehicle to check (because I suspect she outgrew it months ago), I don't know how to check. I've explained to my sister over and over what makes a seat outgrown.
But I have seen her from the outside of the car, and her ears are either at or slightly above the top of the shell.

I would recommend the taller boosters: parkway sg/l, monterey (except people have issues with the belt guide), and the probooster.

The turbo is 19 inches, evenflos are 18 inches, the cybex at 19 inches, and the taller compasses are 20 inches. (I think anyway.)

That...and the Harmony hbb now at Target looks the same as the Evenflos.

Do you know if her regent is installed with or without the recline bar?
If it is, how much of a lean is there to the installed seat?

That single item would make a difference, imo. DD's over 54" now & 8,5 years old, yet still fits under the top slot in her regent because it's not installed with a recline bar. She's also short waisted, but I suspect that the non-use of the recline bar has made this so long lived. (Her seat was made the month before use was made mandatory)
I know that other kids have long outgrown theirs because the recline of the seat put them over the limits. A more upright position sets them lower in the seat.


So based on how it's installed & torso height in combination would be the deciding factor on booster seats.
I can't give you any recommendations. I had her in a Parkway booster for use in friends' vehicles from 4-5 years old. After that, it didn't provide enough leg support. She was cramped and uncomfortable.
I jumped right to the largest seat I could obtain at the time for a dedicated booster. When she's not in her Regent, she's in a Monterey. With or without the back installed, it works. She's lean, leggy, and it fits her very very well.

Oooh, maybe I can use that as an excuse to see my niece sitting in her seat. If I ask my sister to check something on her car seat installation, she would totally welcome that since I have fixed other issues for her.
