Untethered Maestro or highback Turbo booster?

Hypothetical question for now but what would be the better choice for a 40lb, 4 1/2yo, 2 days a week on a less then 10 minute drive on back roads. An untethered Maestro installed with a lap/shoulder belt or a highback Turbo?

Wouldn't the head excursion be similar? I'd pick Maestro since I'm not ok boostering under 5-5.5. I'm not a tech though.

Personally I'd say Maestro as I think 4.5 is a little young to booster but I don't have a kid at booster age so I don't have real life experience.

Since most kids are not able to sit properly in a booster at that age, and there's some skeletal development issues with kids under 5 boostered as well, I say harness is your best choice since head excursion limit is the same.
