DH has an '03 Pontiac Vibe as his commuter car, but I've been needing to drive it lately. The seatbelt comes out from the 'wall' of the car, so it's more to the side than behind, unlike my Malibu and DH's pickup. Colton has a ProBooster, Performance Booster, and Parkway SGL. None of these are working. Colton is getting frustrated because the belt won't pull easily. I have to pull slack from between the back of the booster and the car wall, then pull the slack across Colton to buckle, if that makes. The SGL seems to be the worst because the back of the booster pulls forward when he tries to pull the belt. The backs aren't as wiggly on the Recaro boosters, so they are ever so slightly better, but not by much, he still can't buckle on his own in that car. He turns 7 in a few days, so I guess I could put him in a backless, but he and I both prefer highback.
Are there any boosters out there that are known to play well with side mounted seatbelts? Having a deep seat would be a plus as well, since Colton's thighs are already longer than the seat pan of the Performance Booster, and it's a fairly deep seat.
