Booster recommendations for sport shaped seats?

[twinkletoes]

Hi, it's been a while happy spring!

Soo, Dd needs a booster for her dads car. It has non-removable and barely height adjustable (if at all?) headrests.. It's a VV Eos. I'm not sure of year.. It's not brand new.. A few years old.

The two seats in the rear are sports seats.. So to get an idea, a graco turbo booster does not sit well on the seat due to its flat non contoured base. Dd's dad had been using the recaro seat, (the smallest one for petite children) however, recaro stress that the entire seat back has to be flat against the vehicles seat, the headrest prevents this, but in addition, dd's torso is too tall for this seat due to how the head rests of her dad's car push it forward, causing a shorter rise in the actual hbb.

Sooo, basically looking for a suitable backless booster that can fit sports seats? It's hard to tell looking at on-line pictures.

Dd is 9, petite and weighs 53lbs.. I'm not sure of her actual height, or torso length, but she is in the last setting of the graco turbo HBB in my car, a 2003 ford focus wagon, yet doesn't meet all the steps to fit an adult seat belt. I want to follow the UK's guidelines of age 12 or 5ft 11inches I may need to get the britax hbb for my car if she outgrows the graco before 12 or before she fits the adult seat belt...

I think she'll do well In a backless booster in her dad's car. I'm sure it has side impact air bags in the back?! My car doesn't have head rests, hence the need. Perhaps, for the extreme purchase.. Ha..

Any recommendations for a backless booster that sits well on bucket style sort seats? Particularly, in a VW Eos??

We need it ASAP!!

Thanks soooo much!!!

Actually, this harmony booster looks as though it's the most contoured?

And thus one by graco, perhaps?

Oh how they make it so complicated with the non removable head restraints and bucket seats!!! Ugh.. Feeling defeated :-(

My suggestions would be the harmony but if that doesn't work the bubble bum is very narrow and would definitely work.

According to ex, The harmony works!!!! Yay.. Exhausting search and stress is over <3. Although he's yet to take photos for me to double check.. He's not as mindful about proper fit as I am.. He'd been informed by Recaro that their hbb seat back HAS to be flat against the back seat of the car.. They told me to discontinue use...but he still continued to use it.. I finally took it off him and he had no choice than to pop to walmart to pick up the harmony!! He said he tried it in the parking lot before he took the plastic off.. To make sure, so I'm somewhat confident it fits ;-). Dd loves the pink seat too.. She's wanted a pink seat for years!!! Since she outgrew her lilac blvd 3 years ago..

But boy, there's not a lot our there for bucket style sports seats and non removable headrests (can find either or, but not accommodating of both.. I still don't know what HBB would work? If any? But I don't have that immediate concern since dd is mature enough to use a backless.

Recaro sometimes does well in seats shaped like that.

Porsche sells the Junior Seat Plus through their dealerships that can be used in any vehicle. It's shaped specifically to fit in these type of seats, and it has a special feature to fill the gap left behind the booster by fixed forward-leaning headrests.

It's also HUGELY expensive. (I believe in the $400 range?)
