Do you have vehicle head rests? If you do you could try the cosco Apex. It is a 5pt harness that converts to a decent booster, but must be used with vehicle head rests. It has fairly high top harness slots. This seat can be found at Sears for around $179.

Another option that would keep her in a harness longer would be the Radian. It has a top harness slot of 18" but cannot be used as a booster. It can be found at Canadian Tire for $199. This seat sometimes has install issues so you will want to make sure you can get a good install, maybe at the store or keep your reciept just in case.

There is the Graco Cargo with upfront adjust that also has 17" top slots and makes a ok booster.

The Evenflo Generations/Bolero have just below 17" top slots, and make a decent booster. The Generations can be found at Sears for around $160 and the Bolero at Walmart for $120.

If you have the AlphaOmega right now, she should fit in all the seats that I have listed, as that seat has fairly low top slots. You might want to try sitting your daughter out in a few seats to see how she fits in them and you may even want to try installing them in your vehicle before making a decision. If you are concerned with the ways the seat installs in your vehicle then get it checked by a tech. You can call MPI to find a tech that is close to you.

	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.

	Graco - Click for more info Graco is one of the world's best known and most trusted juvenile products companies. They started the entire juvenile products industry with an invention called the Graco Swyngomatic. Since then they have invented products that have changed the way that parents travel with their children such as the travel system, which has made it so parents can lock an infant car seat into a stroller easily, without waking their sleeping baby. Their Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat is pretty much synonymous with the term “infant car seat” because of its safety and design features coupled with its affordability. Today Graco continues designing and developing top-quality products that inspire parents and keeps children safe. Check out the new Infant Safe Seat Step 1 and Toddler Safe Seat Step 2 for proof of Graco’s continued commitment to child safety.

	Sunshine Kids Radian 80 or 65 - Click for more info If "the Sunshine Kid's Radian 80 convertible car seat is (probably) the only car seat you will ever need," the "probably" part of this statement comes into play when you directly compare the Radian 80 with the Britax Regent. While the Radian 80 has a very high weight capacity, the seat width is only 10" vs. the Regent's 14" seat. The Britax Regent may be a bit wider, but it is very bulky, is only forward facing, and does not fold like the Radian 80. Because the Radian 80 is so narrow, you can potentially put three of them side by side in the back seat. Three Regents side by side? Impossible.

	Graco CarGo booster seat - Click for more info The Graco CarGo is a dependable and easy to use booster seat. When your child is on the lower end of the height/weight limits for the seat, the 5-point harness is used to keep them safely in place. It features a convenient one-pull snugging mechanism in the front of the seat - making it easy to tighten the straps down after your child has been buckled in. When your child is around 35-40" tall, the CarGo's harness can be removed, so that the seat can be used as a belt-positioning booster, using the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. In this mode, the Graco CarGo will work for kids up to 54" or 100 lbs. Both the Platinum and the Ultra CarGo feature an Energy Absorbing Foam (EPS) liner, a removable, washable seat pad, and a cup holder. The Platinum CarGo is a softer and more comfortable seat than the Ultra CarGo (although still not as comfy as the well-padded Britax booster seats).
