Question New to boostering - Need narrow HBB for 3rd row of 2006 Kia Sedona

[staryla]

I need a narrow booster for the 3rd row of 2006 Kia Sedona. It needs to be narrow because we sometimes have 3 people back there. It needs to be shallow (or allow overhang) because the Sedona seat is quite shallow. I want a high back because I'm reluctantly moving my 6.5 year old into full-time boostering. (How did he get so old so fast?!) He's of average height but quite skinny.

Any pros or cons with the following seats and this vehicle?:
-Evenflo Big Kid Amp
-Harmony Booster - unsure of potential overhang
-Graco TurboBooster - unsure of potential overhang

Any other's I'm missing? After years of paying $$$ for convertible seats the low price of these boosters is amazing. I've also seen the Britax Parkway and Maxi Cosi Rodi AP tossed around as narrow boosters- I'd buy those if there is a compelling reason to spend the extra dollars.

I have a 2006 Sedona the only 3 across I've ever had was 2 backless boosters and 1 borderline 5 stepping 8 yr old. I didn't really have a choice 2 friends ditched me with their kids and snuck off the other car leaving me with 6 kids.

-Evenflo Big Kid Amp - I have the Sport, I think it's basically the same seat, works great, no problems.

-Graco TurboBooster - I only have a backless but it fits fine.

Old version of the Parkway SG - no problems

Combi Kobuk, fits

Monterrey, shoulder belt does not retract well in 3rd row.

I think that's all I've had back there.

I've only got experience with the HB TB in my 06 Sedona and I don't like it. The belt refuses to retract because it's positioned so far back. Plus my DD had a really hard time buckling in both outboard positions. I actually stuck that in our other car and put my 5yo in her harnessed Maestro.

Thanks for the personal experience. I'm leaning toward the Evenflo - I'll check some stores this weekend.
