Narrowest HBB for 6.5 year old (three across)

O is outgrowing the Radian in DH's car, so he will need to start booster training to ride in a HBB. Right now we have a tight 3 across (ff Radian, FF Radian, RF Marathon Classic) in a 2005 Hyundai Elantra and I need some thing that will fit where the outboard radian is currently.

From the measurements spreadsheet, it looks like the Turbo Booster is a good bet, but I'm wondering if it will be a good value for a 6.5 year old or will be quickly outgrown.

Any suggestions for a narrow HBB?

Turbo is SO deceptive...narrow on paper, but just about the hardest thing to buckle next to another seat :(
Harmony Dreamtime is pretty narrow, not too tall in the back, but inexpensive enough for now... http://www.target.com/p/harmony-dreamtime-booster-gray-black/-/A-13981482
And the Boost Air Protect is narrow at the belt path, with flip up armrests, I like it for 3 across (and it's super duper tall, but requires a head restraint behind a tall child, so bad in a car with a bench with no headrests) http://www.overstock.com/Baby/Safety-1st-Boost-Air-Protect-Booster-Car-Seat-in-Newsboy/6593106/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&kw={keyword}&adtype=pla

Our top choices are the Air Booster and Amp/Big Kid. They have big areas for buckling. The Dreamtime fit, but there was no real way to buckle it b/c of the armrests.
