Comparing widths of Regent / Radian

[Darcy]

Can someone tell me what the differences in width is between the Regent and the Radian??? I am still in high hopes to get my Regent in my van, next to two other carseats....

Thanks!

i dont knwo the exact measurements...but the radian is the narrowest carseat available. what car are you going to be installing in, and what seats will you be installing?

I believe the Regent is 21.5" and the Radian is 14" across the seat and 17" across the back.

I've tried the Husky (old name for the Regent, same seat) in the 3rd row of the Caravan with & Freestar with various other carseats -- it just does not work.... You might get the Regent in the center with 2 Radians RF outboard, but I highly doubt it would be a correct/secure installation, nor would it be any easier to buckle than if you kept the 3 seat bench in the 3rd row to space the carseats out :o Does your vehicle have the middle row 2 seater bench or captain chairs :confused: If you have the captain chairs, I'd just remove 1 of them to gain easier access to the 3rd row: 1 RF carseat in the remaining middle row seat with 2 other carseats on the rear bench.

What is each child's actual age, weight & height?
What carseat is each child currently using?
What year, make, model is the vehicle again?

You won't get the Regent center with two Radians on either side of it. The only way I can make the Marathon and two Radians fit is because the Radian slides underneath the Marathon when installed... giving me more room than what the measurements allow.

I've had:
FF Radian, RF Marathon, RF Radian and
FF Radian, FF Marathon, RF Radian

It's extremely tight and one of the Radians is always underneath the shell of the Marathon beside it.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I will be purchasing the Radian for sure. I am planning on having 3 in a row in my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan. If my son would try to sit in the back, maybe I could move the Radian to my hubby's truck and get a Regent then.

I'm glad to have finally made a decision (thanks to you guys)! I just hope I can get them to work now! :)

If you have the 50/50 split bench in the 3rd row, the Radian will NOT work in the CENTER positon. So both Radians would need to go in the outboard positions with your infant seat in the middle.

For outboard positions... I twist down the buckle stalk 2 - 2.5 times and then put a knee into the seat to get the seatbelt nice and tight.

Hope that helps a little. Post back with any install questions once you have the seat and have tried playing with it back there.

Good luck! :)
