Boosters that don't need vehicle head support

[erind]

I know there is a list somewhere and I can't find it by searching. I need two HBB that will not have vehicle headrests. What are my options? TIA

Oobr, Parkway and TurboBooster are three off the top of my head. Not sure if there's more in the USA as I'm not familiar with all the boosters available in the USA.

The Evenflos also do not require it. Personally, if I were in that situation, I'd invest in the sturdiest-feeling HBB I could afford (so probably a Clek, a Frontier in HBB mode, Nautilus in HBB mode, a Parkway maybe.)

Did Recaro ever say one way or another? I can't remember but I want to lump them in with the "none required" bunch.

I was just poking through old threads and it looks like Vivo does require a headrest, ProBooster does as well but that requirement was stated after the fact and the manual makes it sound like it doesn't, and the Performance Booster doesn't require a headrest.

I think I still have the email from Recaro saying it did. I will look for it and share it privately with a mod here so at least someone has it as reference.

Which one?

The Chicco Kidfit does not require vehicle head support. The manual states to remove the vehicle headrest if it causes a gap behind the booster. Since the high back portion is all one piece (adjusts from bottom), it seems sturdy.

I already have two Evenflo Amps so I was hoping they would be on the list. This will be only for very occasional use. I have a van and it is the main vehicle for transporting kids. Thanks for the responses everyone!
