EDITED to add and ASK!
What are your opinions on these?
E-Z-On Harnesses. The 86-Y Harness can be used from 30-168 lbs. The Kid-Y Harness can be used from 30-80 lbs in school buses and from 40-80 lbs in family vehicles. The harness consists of a shoulder harness attached to single strap which attaches to a lap only belt; it must be tethered at all times. For young children, the Ride Ryte booster must be used with the Kid-Y and is recommended when using the 86-Y between 40-80 lbs. Suggested minimum use is 40 lbs. For more information and prices on the harnesses, contact E-Z-On at 1-800-323-6598. For information on the Ride Ryte booster, contact Michele Palumbo at 1-866-396-6776.
E-Z-On Kid-Y Harness
Ride Safer Travel Vest Safe Traffic Systems Ride Safer Travel Vests come in two sizes. The small vest is used for children 35-60 lbs (can be used with tether and lap belt OR lap/shoulder belt). The large vest is used for children 50-80 lbs (Tether & lap-belt to 60 lbs; special dual tether & lap belt required for 60-80 lbs. [Dual tether ordered separately.] Lap-shoulder belt 50-80 lbs.) Vest uses clips to hold seat belt in correct position despite child's movements.
Thanks for the other input and I am not opposed to drilling into the car for DD's safety! I did not get an exact measurement but she is not close to the dash at all-this car is a tank LOL!

Original Post:
We have a 1968 Olds Convertable and currently DD is sitting in a Decath. in the front seat(because she doesn't like so much wind blowing on her and the car is a TANK) she is 45"tall and about 46 pounds and we are looking for another seat as she is just about to outgrow the Decath. in seated height and I hate that darn push button adjustor.
My concern is safety and keeping her in a 5 pt harness-but we only have lap belt to install with-would the Frontier be a good choice so that she would have more room in the seat but it would still fit in the front seat(like a sofa) and we could tether. We have Regents in the other cars and a MA in my Dad's truck but I wanted something that would last.
I am also open to other suggestions, this seat will also be used in my husbands truck-full size Chevy with a bench seat and no head rest and installed with a lap belt. Is the Frontier one of those with the headrest requirements?
I have felt confident with out seat choices(Husky, Regents, Marathon's & DC) but am just wondering what to do now.
DH suggested a 'regualr' booster like my nephew uses-I veto the slip and slide cheap boosters but is there any other booster that can be used with a lap belt?
Sorry, for the multitude of questions!
