I need help picking out highback boosters for my oldest son.
I need one booster to go in my mom's SUV for occassional use (so needs to be easy to use, very obvious as far as how the seatbelt path goes).
And another booster to go in Dh's car and also possibly be used for travel in our primary vehicle (minivan).
I am looking for something fairly narrow at the bottom since Dh's car is a Honda Civic and I'm hoping we'll be able to fit 3 across (currently we never put all 3 kids in that car, but this is proving to be a pain when we need to take the minivan in for oil changes, etc). The other seats in that car would be a Graco Nautilus (harness mode) and a RF Graco MyRide. But I would be open to getting another seat if needed for the RF seat.
We may occassionally need to do 3 across in the back of our Toyota Sienna when my niece travels with us and in that case it would be booster, FF Diono Radian and booster (my niece's booster...no idea how wide hers is). So again, narrow is good, but also comfort for a longer car trip.
Oh and my son is almost 6 years old, if it makes a difference, he is tall and skinny.
The seats I've been looking at are the Graco Turbobooster and Evenflo Big Kid Amp. Both have good reviews and are narrow seats, but I haven't seen either of them in person and I have no idea how to choose!
Thanks for any advice!
