Will a Turbo fit child who has outgrown Nautilus harness?

Our daughter, almost 7yo, is at the top limits of her Nautilus harness. She can't use the Nautilus as a booster because of it's location - too hard to buckle. Will a Turbo booster have enough height for her? She needs a high back for awhile to help her remember how to sit.

I would expect about 1" of growing room which for booster age kids is about a year. If you want a high back that will last significantly longer the britax Parkway is worth looking at.
 
It will be tall enough for her, but I would look at the Safety 1st BoostAir Protect or Cosco Pronto instead, as they have over 2" on the TurboBooster. That is, if you want the option of a HBB for more than ~1 year, which is about what you would get out of the TurboBooster at this point.

I wouldn't waste your money on it. She may JUST fit, but it's certainly not going to last long. My DD outgrew the TB at 5.5yo. A couple months later, she was able to ride in a nautilus in booster mode on the tallest setting for a long trip and the nautilus' shoulder belt guide was just at her shoulder.

I'm a recent parkway purchaser and love it. We got it because the nautilus and turbo were hard to buckle in my new car. I know buckling wasn't your specific question about the turbo, but just wanted to throw in my personal love for for parkway.

We just purchased two seats for her to try - the turbo, and the recaro performance booster. She fits well in both, but she really, really likes how cozy and comfy the recaro is. And, surprisingly enough, she is able to buckle it! The width isn't an issue because she is in a captain's chair. We'll be keeping the recaro and returning the turbo.
