Hi
We are travelling to Sweden in a few weeks to visit my parents, and I need to have my mom purchase a booster seat for my son to use there. He is smaller than I prefer to booster (40 inches, 35 pounds, 4 years old), but due to variety of reasons a booster seat is the most practical choice and we'll just need to make the best of it (parents' cars are very small, old, and I will have to install the seat in the airport parking lot after a 30 hour trip with little to no sleep - I do not trust my installation skills with a strange seat at that point. No latch in their cars. I don't love it, but a harnessed seat just isn't practical in this scenario. We could bring a seat, but we will already have a lot of luggage and I am the only adult going). My daughter is 8 and already has a booster seat there (a Britax, but I don't remember which model, fairly basic but worked well for her last time we were there).
The seat will be used for 2-3 weeks every 1-2 years, it will be kept at my mom's house, and she will be buying it online. Since it will not be used a lot and she is paying for it, I would prefer to stay under or at least right at 1k SKR.
So far I have looked at these:
Akta Graco Logico LX Comfort - this seems similar to a Graco Turbo booster. We have a Turbo booster here and I tried him in it, and it does seem to fit him pretty well.
Brio Boso - I cannot find any real reviews of this seat online, but it seems to have better side protection compared to the Graco, which I like the idea of since he is small.
Britax Adventure - this seems like the hip belt path may sit further forward from the back of the seat? This concerns me since he is small.
I am not sure how big the differences between these seats really is, but figured I would ask the experts before telling my mom which one to order.
Thank you!!
