While he is at the minimum for safety standards to be in a booster, I would still like to recommend keeping him in a harness. It she has headrests in her vehicle, you could look into an Apex 65. Graco just released the Graco Nautilus which will harness to 65lbs, then booster to 100lbs. The top harness slots are supposed to be 1" shorter than the Regent (18"). They are in most WalMart stores and run $129.99.

If you are set on getting him into a booster, the Britax Parkway is what I would highly recommend. Holds up to 60" and 100+lbs.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.

It's one of the only boosters to offer True Side Impact Protection - the EPS foam-padded headrest and side "wings" aren't just great for naps, they're engineered to provide vital protection to your child in the event of a side-impact crash. (Side-impact crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 6-14, making this an issue of major importance for booster seats.)
