We didn't have any issues when switching, but they do make quite a few 5 point harnesses that go above 40 lbs. You might want to check them out.

We recently switched to a Graco Nautilus for our daughter, who's right at 40 pounds. The five-point harness can be used until they are 65 pounds. At about $150 at Target, it's much more affordable than most others that allow the five-point harness for so long!

I have an acquaintance who lost her four-year-old who was in a booster-seat without the five-point harness when they were in an accident (no one else was hurt seriously), so I knew I wanted to extend the use of the harness for as long as I could.

Another vote for the Nautilus! We have had it for more than a year now and love it! Tanner is 5 and weighs about 38 pounds, he will use the 5-point until he exceeds the weight limit, then we will switch to the booster.

Thanks for all the advice. We decided to buy a Britax Frontier Xt, that has a 5 point harness up to 65 lbs. The seat is great and Lucas loves it.
