Default higest harness slots?

Which seat has the highest harness slots? Is it the Radian? I'm ideally looking for a convertible booster that has higher 5 pt harness slots than the Britax Marathons but one that also converts to use the seat belt positioner.

My twins heads are at the top of their Marathons and already on the top harness slot. They are only 3.5 and about 32 lbs, so we have a LONG way to go to get to 40 lbs.

If you want a harnessing seat that will convert to a booster later on, there is the Graco Nautilus--it will harness to 65lbs, then can be used as a backless or highback booster until around 100lbs. The next one would be the Britax Frontier which will harness to 80lbs, then booster to 100lbs. It's harness slots are not quite AS tall as the Nautilus. Both of these seats are forward facing only.

The Radian is a convertible seat which will RF to 35lbs, then FF to 65 or 80lbs, depending on which one you get.

The tallest, highest weight harnessing seat on the market is the Britax Regent. It will harness to 80lbs, but it will NOT convert into a booster later.

Thanks for the advice, but I know for a fact that none of those seats you mentioned will fit 3 across in my vehicle...what's where the problem lies.
