I would buy the Graco Turbobooster highback and not give it a second thought. We bought these for travel well before we transitioned the kids at home.

These are not good for small kids and give a terrible belt fit. Get a Finale or another high backed harness booster as they aren't 40 pounds and that is the absolute minimum. They can submarine under the seat belt if they are that small. I tried both of those and returned both as they were terrible. Child should be in a high back booster at a minimum.

The Combi Kobuk is a great seat for smaller kids but no latch and I wouldn't travel with it. I would get a high back booster with a minimum of the crotch strap/holder not sure what you call it at that weight.

We had the previous one the safety go first hybrid. This is good for about 3-6 but it isn't going to be worth the money for OP as child will outgrow by size. It is a great seat.

I looked at the Immi Go, was hoping for something a little less expensive. We do a lot of road trips and when we fly to Grandma's she has seats. But definitely considering, thank you!

Just buy a highback booster. Seriously.

DD is almost 5.5, 43” tall, and 36lbs. She uses a 5pt/high back booster for regular travel, but I am looking for something to use in a rental car coming up. Seems like most boosters start at 40lbs - any recommendations for something that is easy to travel with?
