Which is easier to buckle as booster: Nauti or Perf. Sport?

We have been occasionally booster training my daughter in her GN and I find it so hard to buckle, and it is impossible for her to do it. The buckle stalk recedes down into the space behind the seat and I have such a hard time reaching it. I tried putting a piece of pool noodle around the stalk to make it stand up (suggestion I found here), but that didn't really solve the issue. I am looking for a reason to move the GN to my mom's car and get a PS. Is the buckling as a booster any easier with the PS? I can't tell from the pics whether there would still be that space at the seat bight that would eat the buckle stalk. Or is there a combo seat that doesn't have this issue?

Thanks!

I've heard good things about buckling the PS in booster mode but have no direct experience, so i'm bumping this for you :)

Do you have another reason for a harnessed seat? I would not spend PS money on a seat that will be used briefly as a harnessed seat, then as a booster long term. I'd rather go for a good dedicated booster.

I think that by the time my daughter is ready to be in a dedicated booster full time, I can pass the PS to my little guy. He has a super long torso and I will be happy if he can RF until three, longer if he still fits.

That makes sense. I'll tell you that I don't like the PS so much as a booster, mainly because it is super heavy and bulky, and for me, one of the benefits of boostering is easy mobility between cars. If I had a booster age kid, I'd go ahead and get a booster.
Having said all that, it does give a beautiful belt fit. I've only tried it briefly, though, so don't know how it is for the kids to buckle.
