Child is skinny/narrow shouldered. Car is a 1999 station wagon so no side air bags, no headrests, and must be outboard because of center lap belt. What booster would you pick to make driver feel like child is most protected?

If price were a problem, then I would go with the Big Kid DLX....good price and It fits almost any vehicle wonderfully. I am actually thinking of selling ds's PWSG to get the Big Kid DLX, Since the PWSG fits to wonky for me in S/O's truck :( We can't remove the head rests and this it he BIG problem mainly.

Price is no object? I'd look at Clek Oobr.

Really? Such a heavy seat and it can't be LATCHed? THat scares me a little.


Price is no object. After I posted this last night, I thought of the FR85 SICT. It's the tallest hbb, right? She'll need a HBB for a long time because of no headrests. And it has the airbags to make grandma feel better about her being outboard.

Also, would you harness a child longer than in other vehicles if it meant she could stay center?

For a skinny, short child, I would not use the frontier as a booster. If it would be used harnessed until outgrown, then I'd go with it.

If you are looking for belt-positioning boosters, I like the vivo and the cybex x-fit for a shorter, skinny kid.

I have short skinny/narrow kids and id say a vivo or a cybex. Vivo if you really need it to hug the kid.

The Oobr has rigid LATCH.
ETA: NM, saw model year of the vehicle!

Yes, that sounds like the ideal solution, especially in that vehicle. If parents are concerned about sip, harness her center to the limits of the seat. By the time she outgrow the harness, maybe she will fit well in fr85 sict in booster mode and can use it outboard.
