Finally considering getting a booster for Levi, now that he is 8! He is 48" tall, and about 44lbs, long and narrow, long legs, short torso, skinny hips. All his weight is muscle.
Right now he is RF in the MT (yes, still). He was riding FF in an RXT in my bf's car for a month, but we took that seat to my grandma's house where we visit regularly (in NV), where it will stay.
I got him a backless turbo booster for the 10min ride to the airport, and it fit really well but he was TERRIBLE with sitting still with 2 adults next to him reminding him, so I am very nervous about him riding in a booster, he has major lack of impulse control issues (in general). He is constantly moving, I don't know how I could get him to be still in the car for 10min, let alone 2-4 hours when we do trips.
I have the XTSL for now, but it will expire fairly soon. I need something else for bf's car.
So what should I get? Should I get a booster and risk him not sitting still, or get a Nautilus?
I was thinking the parkway b/c of the crotch strap might help him, but I don't like that the pieces come apart easily. I like the Diano booster booster because of the deeper headwings.
Car is a 2007 Subaru, but may also be used in the 2010 honda accura.
Second question: Car in NV has a lap belt only in the center, not TT's. I put him in the RXT there because we had 5 people. Often its just 4 of us and he can go passenger side, but we pick up grandma, or my sister comes.... so what to do long term when the RXT expires or is outgrown? I'm trying to get them to buy a new car, but realistically, the car will be kept until it dies completely. It already needs a new seatbelt on the driver's side (permanently twisted and doesn't retract properly and buckle won't release!). Car is a jeep laredo... 2000 maybe?
