I wrote previously about my 07 Camry and troubles with the belt path on my Evenflo seat. I thought it was an Amp but it's an Big Kid LX.

The beltpath opening is on the outside facing the door instead of in toward the seat, so the belt slips out all the time. We tried adjusting the back, taking out the headrest...nothing worked and the belt is constantly slipping out. So, I am looking for suggestions for a new seat. She's 6, 56 lbs, 46" tall, 18.5 butt to shoulder. We're on a tight budget but any suggestions are welcome. :)

Why not try the regular good old Graco Turbo booster, either the one without the surround ($35-50) or the one with it ($60-70)? Or the Harmony Folding Travel booster (only at some Walmarts/$50)? Both of my kids really like the Harmony and the shoulder belt can't slip out of it.

GL!

Thank you! Those are the 2 I was looking at. I just don't want to spend the money on a seat again and have it not fit properly. I saw the harmony one on WalMart's website but it's not available online.

I'm not good at posting pics....in fact, I stink at it! But I do have the Harmony folding one and I love it! My kids love it, too! I think it's a great booster seat, easy to use, fits a lot of kids well. It's my 4.5 yr olds secondary seat...it's the seat I send w/his grandparents and friends, b/c it's easy to use. The only thing that has any real learning curve to it is that you have to get the shoulder belt all the way into the guide. It's NOT coming out on it's own, once it's in there. ;)
The guide is shaped a bit like the inside of a seashell and the initial section to slip it into is narrow. Graco's shoulder belt guides are very similar. I've seen the shoulder belt come out of the Evenflo's a lot, but not the Graco's or our Harmony.

I don't think you can go wrong w/either of these boosters, Graco or Harmony. Also, the new Graco Affix is available on Amazon for $63--it latches in.
