Booster seat for 4yr old (2ndary, travel-friendly)

[netarc]

We have a Radian65 for our daughter (4yr old, 39", ~37 lbs) in the primary car, but I'm trying to find a second carseat (booster) for occassional use in our VW Cabriolet "weekend car." She only rides in the VW once in a while; too, I'd hoped to be able to make dual-use of the carseat for travel (cabs, rentals, relatives' cars), so something that is compact and/or breaks down woudl be ideal.

Was considering the Britax Monarch, for instance ... but any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

What about the Compass B510 booster? It folds in half making it easy for travel, especially when flying. Some models come with a travel bag. The Monarch is supposed to be a great seat but too big and bulky, possibly for travel?

Good luck!

We got a Sunshine Kids Monterey and it's wonderful! We had a Britax Parkway but it was way too narrow, and the Monterey uses LATCH to secure itself so it doesn't move around when unoccupied. BUT the vehicle's shoulder and lap belt must be used to actually secure the child.
