Backless turbo, as long as they have headrests. The 40 lb AOEs often have terrible belt fit as a booster. There's no evidence that a high back is any better than a backless as long as there's head support (which Dorel needs anyway...).
Harness is definitely not an option as he's over the weight limit- and I'd wager above the reinforced harness slots, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the AOE requires head support. Isn't that just for Dorel FF-only seats/boosters? Obviously there's no head support when a seat is rear-facing.
But I would check belt fit in each seat. I would assume that the Graco backless Turbo will be a better fit. He'll probably need to use the belt clip.
The Evenflo high-back Amp is on sale at BRU right now for $30. Is there any way that could be an option?

I got the turbo on clearance at Kroger today for $12.50. I figured if it didn't work for him then someone would use it. Or DD can use it in the future, its got an Oct. 2011 dom
