FF to Booster for 3 yo in Honda Fit

My eldest son is almost 3 yo (36lbs) and in a Britax Roundabout 55 FF. My youngest son is 3.5 months old and in a baby bucket seat. We have a Honda Fit. I was thinking of moving the baby into my toddlers seat and buy a new seat for the toddler. The Diono Radian seems to be very well-reviewed and I like that he'll be harnessed for a long time, but I've read that maybe it's not that great as a booster. Is there something that works great as both a FF carseat and a booster that might be a less expensive option and that will fit in a small car? My toddler is average height but tall runs in my family. And I'm willing to spend the money on the Diono if its the best option, I'd just prefer not to if there are other good options out there.

I wouldn't get the Radian, unless you're interested in turning your 3yo RF again.

For the price of the Radian I'd look at the Graco Nautilus or the Britax Frontier. A lower priced option for kids that aren't super heavy is the Evenflo Maestro (lower weight limit and much shorter as a booster, but a standard HBB when it's outgrown is not expensive).
