I got the Radian finally! I tried various installs but both kids were napping so I will get kiddo pics later. DD1 loves it :love:
Installed in the center, lapbelt only. A little bit of work to get the belt tight, but finally I figured out that I needed to shorten the belt first, then put weight onto the seat & buckle. Rock solid. I didn't tether it because I wasn't planning on leaving it there ;)

Next, I put the Marathon in the middle, and put the Radian FF passenger side outboard. Lap/shoulder belt. SUPER easy. I scraped my knuckles a little threading the belt through until I remembered there was a slit in the cover :rolleyes:. Took less than a minute and was rock solid.

Next I put it RF passenger side outboard, with the lap/shoulder belt. Again, took under a minute and is rock solid.

It is very pretty! Very soft too. I was surprised at how plush it was and how incredibly easy it was to install! The chestclip is a little narrow though.

Yes, it is very plush and was super easy for me to install in my Grand Caravan too. Don't you just love that cover? It sure stands out next to that Marathon cover. What do you think about the red piping? I love it but didn't notice it in any of the pictures I saw before I got my Princess. Will you use the body support cushions for your girls.

I love the red piping! I think it adds just enough contrast. I will definitely use both the body support cushion & the head support for DD2 (4.5 months) when we get her seat. Right now I have the toddler cushion up by her head for DD1, since she still sleeps in the car alot.

Oooh I'd love to see pictures of your daughters in it. Our DDs are exactly the same size and I've been wondering how she would fit in one. I think I would use a Britax chest clip with it if I did get it. Thanks for the pictures!

AWESOME!!! I like that you put it next to the Britax. Now it is decided 100% that is the next seat I'm buying, though not in pink as I have a BOY.

Love your pictures. I also have a Radian 80 Princess. Mine is a little different cover as I got the demo cover that Sunshine Kids made and didn't use. It is all floral. Right now my older daughter Lyndsey is using the seat. She will be 9 in October. :D

Love it! :love: Thanks for posting pics! Have you posted in the "Radian successful installs" thread over on the carseat forum?

Goodness I wish my seat was that easy to install in my car! It takes me forever to get it solid. I love the cover, it looks so nice, better than the stock photos I've seen.

aparently you can use the Britax chest clip. I read that on here somewhere. i am definately getting that seat once I get the money then I want to get the Britax chest clip. Although in Canada they only have the Radian 65 from what I have seen
