Monterey for an average 7 year old?

DD1 turns 7 in a week and has been asking that she can move into a booster from her frontier.

She really wants the purple monterey. I'm moving my almost 3 year old into the frontier (no flames, we JUST turned her because of a few issues).

She's very average size, maybe slightly on the petite sde. She fits beautifully in her brothers parkway sg, but he's still happily riding in it. Would the Monterey fit her or should I not bother? Like I said, she really wants purple. I could probably convince her on a livia parkway though.


Advice?

Ds2 is 7.5 yrs and pretty average (51ish inches and 56-58 pounds.) He fits great in his Monterey and has a couple more clicks to grow.

Again, it really depends on your vehicle & your child. My petite almost 7y/o wouldn't fit into the Monterey because the shoulder portion of the seat belt would be too close to the edge of her shoulder. But she fits great in the ProBooster. If you do order one make sure you order it from a place that has a very good return policy ;)

No one should ever flame anyone for flipping a 3 yr old.

I love the Monterey now that I got new headrest. I would look for the newest version. But I have my almost 5 yrold in it as we are booster training and it fits him great and he sleeps awesome in it. It also fits my 8.5 yr old.

I would switch her at 7 no questions.

If she fits shoulder width wise in a parkway sg then I would assume she would be fine in a Monterey. Like a pp said just make sure to buy from a store you return it to easily.
