Booster for heavy 10 yr old

Is there a booster that goes to 130lbs or more? My 10 yr old is using the belt with no booster since he hit over 100lbs, but the belt cuts across his neck. He weighs 124bs or so.

ETA I'm in Canada if that makes a difference

Sorry, there aren't any boosters available which are rated above 120lbs.

How does the belt otherwise fit in terms of his hips? Do his knees bend at the edge of the vehicle seat and do his feet sit flat on the floor?

What year and model of vehicle do you drive? Some vehicle manufacturers are putting comfort guides in to their vehicles now - they're typically a little plastic piece on an elastic and the shoulder belt just slides in to it. You can also check to see if the height of the shoulder belt can be adjusted - it is sometimes adjustable in the 2nd row of some vehicles.
