Booster opinions wanted

henrietta · May 1, 2012

Please give me your thoughts on the best choice of booster for a 6.5 yr old, 46" tall, 44 lbs, sensitive kiddo--he has high functioning autism and low muscle tone (not too bad, just tires easily). He LOVES his Cybex--he prefers the deep head wings and side support (plus, it's soft). The Cybex is almost on the top most position, but I'm not replacing it...I'm replacing an expiring Fisher Price booster in the other car. LATCH isn't necessary (we don't have it in most of the cars this booster will be used in). If it comes in blue, it's a bonus!

I'm considering the Parkway, ProBooster, Vivo, Monterey, and even the Cosco Air booster (one w/big head wings that was at Kmart/Sears). The Evenflo's and Graco's are fine, too, but I don't think they'll last him that long. I do have a kiddo to pass them down to later, though.

Thanks!

the monterey should fit him with the belt, but the narrowest setting for the wings is not that narrow and I don't know if he'll really get the benefit from them like he does on the cybex.

I would probably go with a Probooster or vivo as they have the big headwings, deep body wings, and fit smaller booster riders really well.

if you have the headrests to go behind boosters like the cosco air booster that require them, I'd also consider the Maxi Cosi Rodi XR... it also has good support, a recline setting, and decent body support.

in addition to those I'd consider the peg perego booster (but I think it's only on pre-order?)
