DC is 29kg and 137cm and has outgrown the HBB that fits in grandparents car (I have a britax kiddie that she still fits in) Grandparents car is tiny so the roof height means she won’t fit in a HBB that goes taller so needs a booster cushion. Any recommendations or do they not seem to have safety reviews as they are merely to raise the height of the child?

Yeah, they are all pretty much of a muchness :)

Pick one where the horns don't push the belt too far forwards, it should be over your child's hips/tops of thighs. A couple of them push the belt too far down the legs.

She is legally OK without a booster cushion at all as over 135cm, but if the belt doesn't fit her correctly without one, she'd be safer using one.

Have you checked if the back comes off the one you have? Sometimes they do.

Thanks so much for your reply. No the back doesn’t come off hers. It feels weird going from reading every safety review known to man to just buying a booster! She is very slight so the belt doesn’t fit properly hence needing a booster seat.
