Question Harmony Dreamtime booster vs Recaro Vivo Lite

[lovemyfamily]

Getting ready to move our 8.6 year old from his Britax Regent, which he rides in in my Yukon XL, to a booster in my vehicle. He rides occasionally in DH's truck in a Recaro Vivo Lite, which we have liked, and it seems to fit him well. I don't know his stats, 55ish pounds, avergae height, he is skinny, more leggy than long torso. I have read some reviews about Recaro's being tippy in certain vehicles. He would be riding outboard passenger, 3rd row of my vehicle. I had read a some good things about the Harmony Dreamtime booster, and I see it is getting hard to find, Amazon doesn't have it in stock, but I found it on www.walmart.com Just wondering if it is a good seat or if we should just go with another Vivo Lite since we know it fits him well?
TIA!

I love our Dreamtime booster , it fits my dd2 perfectly. But it is a short booster so if your son is of average height I would skip it because you'll have very little time if any left in it.
I have also heard that the ProBooster is tippy in a Yukon but I'm not sure about the Vivo. Have you considered the Monterey?

We just got a dream time for our 5.5 year old. I love it for him, but it doesn't have much height left, imo. I think he's already about half way through the adjustments and he isn't a very large child. I think he has more room in our vivo.

Have you tried the turbo? I think ds have more time in that than our dreamtime as well.

I had read in a few places the Monterey isn't good for skinny kids. Maybe i'll try the Vivo in my car before buying a 2nd 1. We also have a Parkway that DS#1 uses in DH truck. He's over 4'9 but the seatbelts hit him wrong without a booster. Maybe i'll just get him another backless, put the Vivo in my car & move DS#2 to the Parkway in DH truck.
