So I am in the market for a couple of boosters. My sons are 8 years old (52" tall and 53lbs) and 6 years old (48" tall and 41lbs). My older son has been using a graco affix, which I need to pass on to my mother in law (she already has a graco turbobooster with safety surround). My younger son would like to booster train this summer, and I feel he is ready to do so. I kept my older son harnessed longer, but he was much more squirmy and not able to sit still properly.
Anyway, I am stressing over the choices. I drive a 2013 Honda Odyssey, so I need something that will fit well in the second or third row if I needed to move it. I would like it to latch. I've looked at so many boosters and some that now don't seem to be available (I liked the turbobooster xl with safety surround because it latched and seemed like good side impact protection). I have a Britax pioneer, but I hate it - the belt path constantly gets caught and I have to help them fix it. I assumed I might feel the same way about their other models. How is the Parkway SGL?
I've been thinking of just going with an affix OR I found somewhere that is still selling Montereys. Would a Monterey fit well in the Odyssey? I am partial to Diono and had used them with my kids since they were super little. The one R120 that I have left is just about expired though and the one with a year left I gave to a friend in need of a five point harness. I like that they seem sturdy - not sure how the Monterey compares to the Cambria and the other diono booster didn't have latch.
Any opinions would be great.
