Seeking input about what seat is safest front facing 5pt harness or booster seat. 11 year old, 51" 46# shoulder height when seated 18" can buckle and sit. Using a 2010 Britax Frontier 85 as FF harness and child is still within parameters and it has 9 year expiration.
Thoughts about continuing to use? Using this seat as booster? Another recommended booster?

Child Weight - Forward Facing Harness 2 years & 25, up to 85 lbs
Child Weight - Booster 40 - 120 lbs
Child Standing Height - Forward Facing Harness 30 - 57"
Child Standing Height - Booster 42 - 65"
Child Seated Shoulder Height - Forward Facing Harness 12 - 20"
Child Seated Shoulder Height - Booster 13.5 - 24.5"

Thanks

A booster is absolutely fine for this child. You could easily do a backless booster. Anything that's comfortable. You could *not* do a Nuna Rava backless, or the Safety 1st Incognito. Otherwise, any backless you'd like.
