High back booster question

My dd is 5.5 years, just over 40 lbs. In our car, she’s in a 5-pt harness, no plans of changing soon. In sept, my mother will be taking her to ballet only if I’m running late from work, 3 blocks from the house. I don’t know if I should get a high-back booster that uses the car’s shoulder seat belt (advantage: my mother will be able to buckle her in easier and I think it will actually be a tighter fit than a 5-pt harness;my mother may have trouble tightening) or stick to a 5-pt harness which is technically safer (but is it if grandma can’t pull tight?). Thoughts?

I don’t think it will make any difference.
I have my kids in harness too but at this point, I think they’d be fine on high back boosters.

For your mom, get the high back. Its so much easier and she will be fine in it

If your mom can't properly tighten the harness, then the seatbelt will be safer.
