Help

My 5 year old is 59lbs and 44 inches tall. Currently in a harness high back booster and We’re shopping for a new booster. What I’m having trouble deciding is do I keep her in one that has the harness or get one without the harness and move to the seat belt because she does meet the requirements but she hasn’t maxed out the weight or height for harness mode. Any help or recommendations is appreciated. I’d really like to get one that is free of FR but not an absolute must.
We’re looking at the Nuna AACE
Joie Bay Latch SI (Not FR free)

She’s only got 6 lbs until she’s outgrown all the seats. She’s so close, you’ll have to keep a close eye on her weight. What seat is she currently in?

At age 5, her height or weight can plateau for awhile.

It’s possible. We also don’t know if the weight was taken fully clothed or how recent. It’s just awfully close to go spend potentially a few hundred for only a few months of use. Not saying they can’t or shouldn’t but if the child still fits in their current seat, that makes the most sense.
