Question Booster/harness?

This seems to be a very popular question lately, but I have to ask as well.

Child in question is a very good booster rider, 6 years old, 50lbs, and 48 inches.

We have a Frontier 85 with plenty of growing room, and also a Recaro booster that fits well.

I could really use the money from selling the Frontier, but I feel better about the 5pt harness of the Frontier.

Thoughts?

If the child sits properly 100% of the time in a booster it is perfectly safe.

However I am a freak and like to be prepared for what ifs so I would keep the Frontier for a bit in case a long trip came along where my child might fall hard asleep and slump. Or if I needed a seat for another kid that was riding with me for the day, etc. But I also have a seat addiction and rationalize keeping lots of extra seats.

I'd look at how well he can sleep in a booster, especially if he tends to sleep in the car.

if it's still a draw between the two, then I'd weigh in your comfort... are you going to be less comfortable with a booster to the extent it could distract you from driving? If so, then it's safer to harness. If not, then I'd ask him what he'd like... Kids love it when they get to have an opinion.
