Need new high back booster seat

My daughter is 5 years old (6 in Dec) and weighs around 44lbs and is 48" tall. She needs a new booster seat to replace the Britax Parkway (handed down from her sister) she uses in our secondary car that will expire at the end of the year. We checked out a couple of seats today at Target and she liked the Chicco Kidfit. Is that a well liked booster that will last? Here are our current car/car seat situations: 2007 Honda Odyssey van--new to us but now our "primary vehicle" and her Radian (harnessed) is installed in that car. She also occasionally rides in our 2004 Mazda 3 in the Parkway that is going to expire and in our 2012 Mazda 5 in an Evenflo Sureride (this used to be only a travel seat for us and she doesn't like it now because the straps tighten unevenly and she can't unbuckle it herself, so I'd like to trade it out for something else). We also have a couple of no back boosters (one is a Graco turbo booster and one Harmony, I think). When is she safe to ride in them vs. the high back?

Hi there.

The KidFit fits kids to about a size 8/10 shirt in the high back mode. It's generally liked by kids.

Backless boosters are ideally for when high backs are outgrown. 8/10 years old.

Have her pull on the tight hip of the Evenflo harness to help even it out, or push out on her chest clip. It has a continuous harness.
