Booster for Petite 8 Year Old, Law Says up to 8, but She Is Only 50Lbs

It seems like prior posts are when to move a big 3 year old to a booster, my problem is opposite. My daughter is still in the Britax Marathon! Since she will be 8 in July and CA law is booster seat until 8, I want to dump the Marathons for her as she has been begging each time she rides with a friend in a backless booster. We used one in Hawaii and she realized she couldn't fall asleep comfortably and stopped asking. But now it is time, she is only 50lbs and about 46-47 inches. My problem is picking the right one. My friends...
