What is the age/size of the child you're looking at them for? And for kicks, gender, because the Turbo comes in lots of cute girly patterns and some adorable boy ones too. I think the main difference is the seating area, on the air booster its got air under it instead of a cushion on plastic... for ventilation's sake. I think the seat on the air booster is a little bigger and it adjusts a little higher but don't quote me on that.

The turbo fits small children really well, and the air fits larger/older children really well.

for a 5 1/2 yr old DS, let me see if I have his measurements handy......
nope
I'll try and get his stats and post back with that tomorrow
He is on the slim side though...
Would a Graco Air be our best bet in this price range? <100$
Would prefer to buy IRL, not online
Thanks

The height is almost identical for both, actually. The Air is slightly taller overall, but the shoulder guides are the same height. The Air has slightly deeper headwings.
The Air has a completely different design for the seat. It's narrower towards the back but wider overall, so it sometimes fits next to carseats better than the Turbo. The seat is a firm but springy mesh - very comfy according to all the kids who've used mine. The seat of the Air is also deeper, so it provides more thigh support for older kids, but it has a gradual slope so even short-legged kids can sit comfortably.
The seating area is wider on the Air; my 8yo dd has a lot of hip room in the Air, and I prefer for her to ride in the Turbo for that reason.
Here's some pics I took for comparison.
