Question LBB in back seat with no head rests?

I babysit a 9.5 year old boy who I take places often. He rides in a low back Monterey in my car. My boyfriend just got a car, a 2006 Ford Focus, so I will sometimes be using his car and sometimes we both take him places. My problem is his back seat has no head rests and I know that's a no no for a low back booster. I can make the Monterey a high back but it won't fit on the height setting it needs to be on. What do I do??

How are the tops of his ears in relation to the top of the seat back? If he's just a little over, you could try a shorter booster. The harmony literider is not as tall as some others.

at 9.5 is he big enough not to need a booster at all? No one should ride in a car without headrest if their ears are over the back seat.

He's tall but all leg so almost his whole head is above the seat where the headrest should be.

No he still needs the booster because the shoulder belt does not fit him right. It comes too close to his neck and he puts it behind himself.

I guess I could try a slimmer profile high back booster. The Monterey doesn't fit because it's too wide at the side wings and the head part is angled.
