Fitting My 5yr old in a Booster--1st Time

Hello!

I have been out of the car safety loop for about 6 months, so now I am not sure if I can be trusted to make an informed booster decision. Help would be MUCH appreciated!

I have a 5 yr old, 52 lbs, 47 1/2" tall. She has never been in a booster, has been in a Radian XTSL since she was 3, and she falls asleep in the car regularly--so the booster must have pretty decent side-wings, support and not insanely upright. She also seems to need a pretty deep seat depth as her legs are long especially from the seated position to her knees.

I am not concerned about cup holders, price or convenience as much as I am about safety and a booster that will do well for a child that sleeps a lot in the car, and is coming out of a 5 point harness at almost 5 1/2.

Any and all suggestions welcome!! :D

Thank You!

We moved ds2 to a monterey when he turned 5y. He sleeps great in it. He is now 60# and like 49". We have his wings on the widest setting. He really likes the seat. It has a deep seat area.
