Need a car seat? Try the Clek
I found that many booster seats are too wide to fit well in my E coupe. I tried the Clek Olli and it has a few advantages:
1. The base is quite narrow so it fits well.
2. It has LATCH anchors so it is physically connected to the seat. I've not seen this before on a booster seat.
3. It is made by an automotive seat manufacturer and the seat cushion seems to be pretty comfortable.
Despite the good width fit, because the seatbelt buckle is recessed, it is very hard to get the tongue into it and even harder for the child to do so. I found some solid and they do the trick nicely, essentially raising the buckle height by about 5".
I'll post some pictures later.

I bought a Recaro that's perfect. Easy enough I can reach back and buckle it from the driver's seat. Plus, it's got side protection; better known as head support for when she falls asleep on the way home.
