Question Booster For Older Child

Guest
I'm looking into a booster seat for my oldest who turns 7 in March. She currently is in a Frontier in both my car and my husband's, she will remain in the Frontier in my car, but will need a booster in my husband's car as my middle daughter's boulevards are expiring, we will move her into the Frontier in her dad's car and have a Radian for her to use in my car.

His car is a midsize sedan (the Sonata) and we have 3 across currently in this order, FF Boulevard, RF Radian (for the baby), FF Frontier.

So this is what I'm looking for, a Booster with good side impact head protection (since she is outboard) That is good for older children. I've ruled out the Graco seats I think because they are outgrown so early and we are moving into Booster late.Trying to keep cost at or below 100. It also needs to fit in the footprint of the Boulevard in order for us to get 3 across.

I was looking at the recommended seats and see the Vivo is recommended by recarro, Is that the same as the Performance Booster? I was also wondering about the boost air.

The vivo was discontinued :(. The performance booster will be much wider than the space you have available.
The boost air is also on the wider side and in my opinion feels kind of flimsy.

I would look at the parkway, evenflo amp, safety 1st store and go

I would look at the Parkway. The Performance booster is very wide and doesn't taper back at all which makes it hard to buckle in some vehicles even without another seat next to it. The Vivo (discontinued) is narrower but the armrests/belt path make it harder to buckle also so it might not work well in your situation anyway.

I also would go for the parkway. It should fit well in your space and its one of the taller boosters on the market
