Car seat for 5 year old...

What does everyone recommend for a 5 year old? My pediatrician recommends being in a harnessed booster for as long as possible, so I think I'm looking for a harnessed booster that converts to seat belt booster.

I just switched my 5.5 year old from the harness on my Graco Nautulis -

If you're getting a harness, I'd take him to the store with you and click him into them - MANY of them do not work well between their legs ........I had to switch mine to the seatbelt .....and he's average height. Not really tall at all -

At 5, I had DD still in her Britax Marathon. Switched her out of it to a high back booster around 6.5yrs old. And that was only cause she was really complaining that she was like a baby, and all her friends sat in regular booster seats.
