Question Best booster for donating

DD just started preschool and they have 2 back up boosters at the door, I'm assuming if someone forgets a seat or someone else has to pick up a child with no booster. Well the one is one of those horrible I think Costco ones, with the hooks on the sides. I looked at it today and it was made in 2000 :( obviously not safe! I am sure the school would be liable if someone got hurt in it too. The other seat is a AO one, it wasn't there today, so I couldn't see if it was expired, doesn't look quite as old, but I'd bet it's expired too.

Anyway, I'd like to buy a booster and bring it in to donate. I feel more comfortable just doing it than asking. There are 3, 4 and 5 year old kids there. I'm thinking a HBTB, but I know the back falls off of that or maybe their better now. Any other suggestions?

Does the back fall off the Harmony high back booster? That one fits littles pretty well I think, is fairly inexpensive. I've never played with one though, so I don't know about the back coming off easily.

I'd get the evenflo amp high backs. The backs don't fall off and they fit little kids well. My walmart has them for $29.

That's the one I'd suggest, too. Can be used w/out vehicle headrest, correct? Similar price to the Cosco Pronto, but less prone to misuse.

Maybe when you dropped the donated seat off you could also drop off a flyer or card that they could keep with the seats explaining the newest recommendations and simple steps to make sure it is used correctly? Sounds like car seat safety is not their area of expertise and you could help them brush up a bit :)
