Replacing seats after accident. WWYD?

The other day we were rear ended in our secondary car. The insurance company is replacing seats. They don't have to be the same seats just similar in features and price. My question is in regards to my 3.5 year old daughter (4 in September). She is 31lbs and 39" tall. In our primary vehicle she is still rear facing in a marathon which I intend to keep her until she is 4. The kids don't ride but maybe twice a month in the secondary car. Price range being under $200 for the replacement seat would you buy another convertible seat or buy a harnessed booster (I was looking at the Pioneer). As little as she rides in the secondary car I am ok with her forward facing in it. My initial thoughts were to go a head and buy the Pioneer and that way I would already have the booster when she is ready for it (I intend to keep her harnessed at least until she is 6). Or am I overthinking it and should just buy a convertible? I have a 1 year old who I am also replacing a seat for which buying another convertible is a no brainer.

I'd get a combo (harnessed booster). You'd still have the option of moving her other seat to keep her RF if you want. That way you can make the Pioneer her main seat when she is ready to FF. Alternately, if you want to RF past 4, you could get something taller right now like a MySize or NextFit.
