Currently own 2 MA for girls aged 2 & 4...no prob there BUT...
My mom is going to drive 4 year old to school one way 4 days per week.

What would you buy for my mom's car? I will prob take this seat back in a year
so maybe it can be DD's next seat for my car?

Also, do any boosters use LATCH?

[DD is 42 lbs]

Some boosters are LATCH compatible, which serves the purpose of anchoring them to the vehicle so they don't become projectiles in the event of an accident.

Since your DD is four, a seat like the Graco Nautilus or the Britax Frontier might be good choices for your mom's car. They have a five-point harness with high top slots, and then convert to high back boosters once the harness is outgrown.

I can speak about the Frontier. We have them. It is a 5 pt harness to 80lbs and/or 53inches tall and a high back booster to 100 lbs and/or 60 inches tall. When in booster mode you can still use latch connectors to secure carseat to vehicle seat and you can use top tether when in booster mode as well. Very great seat, comfy my DD and I both love love love.
