Booster seats are meant to do one thing — elevate children so that safety belts designed for adults are in the right position to restrain kids during a crash. Thirteen of the 41 belt-positioning booster seats the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety evaluated with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute did such a poor job of improving the fit of lap and shoulder belts for children that the Institute doesn’t recommended them at all. Ten models are best bets and 5 are good bets. These evaluations are the first to tell consumers how well boosters sold by US retailers improve belt fit for children in cars, minivans, and SUVs. The Institute plans to continue these assessments. Produced for IIHS.

The problem with backless boosters is that it lacks side impact protection and younger children are more likely to move out of position- highback booster are safer if they fit appropriately.
don't get your hopes up to high for side impact protection of these highbackboosters those little wedges have lttle effect, and if they are to harsh they can even case more injury
There are crash test videos of side impact crashes of different types of boosters, and the wings most definitely change the results. I'm not pulling this stuff out of thin air ;) . It's the difference between a child hitting energy absorbing material or hitting a window.
Not all highbacks are created equal- but your general turbobooster will provide more protection as a highback than a backless.
