car stolen - need new booster help, please!

[Maeve]

Our car was stolen last night with our car seats. Because those were our only seats (and car), I have to get the rental car and go and choose seats without the kids, so have to sort of gauge it on my own.

My eldest was in a Diono Monterey. What would be the tallest HBB booster these days? He still needs one, just too squirrelly despite his age. I read that the old Monterey was higher than the current Parkway? Not sure that the Parkway would fit him, he's 5'2ish".

If that doesn't work, could anyone recommend the most comfortable non-HBB booster seat with the largest seat depth? He's pretty long (yet narrow), and likes his thighs to be supported.

Many MANY thanks!

Is that a typo, or is he actually 5'2" tall? I'd be really surprised if he doesn't 5 step. I'm not sure if there are any boosters that allow a child of his height to use them. The first one to come to mind is the Safety 1st Incognito, since it is intended specifically for older kids, but it has a maximum allowable height of 60" (i.e. 5').

ETA: The Diono Solana has a 63" maximum height, so I think that is your one and only option.

Yep, that's right. He actually might be 5'3". Just really long legs. The Diono fit with a bit of room, but he's too wiggly for 5step, we've tried.

Just saw your Solana rec, thank you!

Hi! Long time no 'see', though I'm sorry about the circumstances, that's a major bummer!
I was going to say Frontier for the 65" height limit as a booster, but evidently it's now 62", so never mind...

Thanks, Jools!
