Emergency spare

My 30lb 4 year old rides in a Rainier in my car and her spare (contender) will be getting installed as a more permanent item in DH's SUV. I would like a emergency spare to store in the garage if god forbid something happens and someone needs to grab her from school. She is very mature and school is less than 5 minutes away on back roads only. I'm considering a cheap highback, the odds are good she wouldn't need it(I'm a sahm) but I would like something available. So if I go this route I'd like a long life before expiring so it can stay her spare when I booster her at 7(when she's projected to hit 40lbs). What fits a petite short torso'd child best? Both emergency pick up people have fairly new cars so needing a headrest is not an issue. My older daughter has two harmony youth boosters, one is her spare and an incognito so we don't currently have anything from her that could serve double duty for both kids. Thank you!

I agree that a Turbobooster is a great spare for a small kiddo. It has a 10 year expiration, so you'll get plenty of use out of it.

And it's going to be on sale for Black Friday (starting online on Thanksgiving Day I believe) at Target for $29.99.
