The same rules still apply. You're not required to put it in a bulkhead but this specifically says that if the seat can't be accomodated, it should be moved to a bulkhead. This has to do with rear-facing seats specifically, which have caused problems on many flights. But if the seat is fine where it is, and doesn't block another passengers' access to the aisle, they can go in any non-emergency exit row (or adjacent rows on some aircraft).
Most U.S. car seats are FAA approved. They require an internal harness and hard back. Because these seats with their own harnesses are safer than boosters, there are more and more of them on the market which hold children over 40lbs. My five year old is riding in one now and I've taken it on Lufthansa, United and Southwest without problems. It's FAA approved and goes to 65lbs.
Here are just some examples;
Britax has several higher harnessed seats

This goes to 80lbs but a child would probably outgrow it by height first

I couldn't get confirmation whether this is FAA approved or not
