I use the lap belt in the middle for our Graco rear facing base as well as on the passenger side for our Diono Front facing. The Diono manual states that they only approve the LATCH anchors up to 40# but the seat belt to 65# which leads me to believe the seat belt method is stronger, at least with Diono’s.

We've had several brands (Graco, Britax, Recaro) but for our 4 1/2 year old, by far the easiest to use, least bulky, but highly rated (safety first, right?!) is the Chicco Kidfit. It converts to a booster when age appropriate and uses the cars shoulder/seat belt. It fits the back of the Taco very well (I like it behind the passenger seat) and is very easy to both use and install/un-install. Still plenty of room for 2 more passengers back there. Only thing is it has a minimum weight of (I think) 40 lbs and you have to be ready to give up the 5 point harness in favor of the trucks existing belts. Our kiddo is pretty big and was totally ready to make the switch. Only about a hundred bucks as well! Good luck and safe driving!

I'm considering this one. Great reviews and the specs are 30 to 100 lbs and 38 to 57 inches so my little guy will fit in there perfect. Thanks!

Diono is the skinniest.

This. I have twin 3 year olds and a 10 year old. They all fit in the back seat comfortably.

This was the biggest change coming from a full size truck. Had to throw the seat in the middle and just put a towel over the center console for her feet. She seems to enjoy the view better anyway being in the middle.
Nothing special here, just a Graco carseat/booster combo.
