9yo nbb booster is about to expire. She's 9 as of January, approx 55" and 54lb.

I have a 2011 sienna with the 8th seat. She 5 steps in the 8th and almost in the back row--not in the 2nd row captain's chair which was her normal seat until last weekend when I decided to let her 14yo brother stop crawling to the back since he's now taller than me.

Husband has a 2008 mazda speed3 which she 5steps in. With a booster the seat belt didn't fit her shoulder properly--she was too high for the belts to fit.

What would you do? No booster and just have her use the 8th seat? Booster? If booster what would you recommend?

She technically too light to use the Incognito (60lbs minimum), but I think some have made a parental decision to use it when kids are closer to it. You could also look at the Harmony Youth Booster/ Lite Rider or the Costco Topside (unique shoulder belt routing). Those are, I believe, the two "shortest" boosters, they lift the child up the least which helps with that shoulder belt issue you had in dad's car :).
