Hi all!

My husband and son were in a car wreck this weekend, which leaves us with having to buy a new car seat.

My son turned 9 in March, is 52" and 59 lbs. He is tall but skinny. (He is a gymnast, so he is all muscle.)

He sits in a Britax Frontier in Booster mode, usually. I am just not sure that I want to buy another harnessed seat to use as a booster.

What booster would you buy for a child of this age and size?

Thanks so much!

I would buy whatever backless booster is the most comfortable to him and places the belt correctly across his hips.

He sits in a backless harmony occasionally, but he still sleeps in the car on trips, so I hate to go completely backless....

My DD1 is 10 and can sleep in a LBB. She does love her PW though. I recently tried to get her to give it to DD2 and no go.

I found that as soon as my son started riding full time in his LBB he learned to sleep in it too just fine.

I would still get him a lbb at 9.
