Hi!!

It's that nightmare time (too many options, and one scatterbrained mom) of looking for baby gear, again. Hellllppppp!!!! I am looking to replace my two Britax Marathon carseats that my daughter has outgrown. Her head sticks out over the top of the seat back. Anyway, I am looking to move her to a booster, and cannot decide between Recaro Vivo and Sunshine Kids Monterey for the side-impact protection feature. I am also including the Britax Parkway, 'coz that's just how much we love our old Marathons.

Now for the nitty-gritty... My daughter just turned 5 and weighs about 42 lbs. and is about 43" tall (I haven't measured her since the most recent growth spurt). I drive a Mini, and would like a booster that provides maximum protection with a small footprint. It would be a nice bonus if these boosters last her till she is able to use the car seat belt.

Thank you all for your advice in advance.
