Boosters w/ forward located/side angled belt guides (for forward located shoulder belts)? *For 2nd Gen Forester*

See this thread for a bit of background. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=240637

Or for the summary: My rear shoulder belts are located too far forward for many boosters. The belts have to travel slightly back and make a slight turn around the guide, just enough that they are getting caught on the guide. Post #1 shows a picture. :) So it appears I need a booster that has the guides more forward (and on the side?), like the Frontier, but one that also fits tall skinnies well. Not just littles, but tall, slim kids too. The Oobr was suggested and those guides do look promising, but I have some reservations about it, including the price. I'm wondering if there are any others that might work with this weird belt geometry.

As if that weren't enough, I strongly prefer latch, at least one cup holder, the taller the better, and it has to be comfy and washable. :D

Thanks for the help!

Re: Which boosters have shoulder belt guides located towards the sides and still fit narrow kids?

Anyone? Trying to think of a better description,l like maybe guides located more forward on the car seat or angled more to face the side. Or, boosters that work in 2nd generation Foresters? That's right to the point, but I didn't know how many people would have experience with that. I have a feeling I'll just have a try a bunch of boosters in it, but any help narrowing it down is appreciated.

What are the stats of the child? The Vivo belt guides are similarly placed as the Oober I think, but the Vivo really lacks leg support for leggy kids.

Thanks for the reply! I wish the Vivo had a deeper seat and latch. It looks like a nice seat, but the kid is already about 50" / 46 pounds with clothes and I really want latch if at all possible.
