Swap to booster?

Every child this is a difficult question for me! We are heading out on a trip tomorrow and my kid has been begging to have just the seatbelt. She's 6y2m old and weight 45#. We're driving 9 hours each way. I can leave her harnessed in her Frontier, swap her Frontier to booster mode (I think this is easy on the ClickTights? and I can even keep the harness in place in case we think we need it?) or I can have her in an Oobr. Any opinions? And yes, she is capable of behaving in a booster properly. Opinions?

I would probably keep her harnessed for the trip. My kids still tend to fall asleep in the car and at 6 I would be worried about staying in position.

The ClickTights are easy to tuck the harness away, so that'd be my choice. Then if you need the harness for whatever reason, you can easily pull it back out.

Ok, so we can do that, cool! I thought my manual had told me that but I read it so long ago I couldn’t remember. We leave in a couple hours so she’ll stay in the harness on the way there as I don’t have time to change anything now. But I’ll read the manual on the way there and perhaps swap to the booster for use at the destination. If I don’t hear any complaints from her, I’ll just leave her harnessed the whole trip.
