Anyone know if the Radian...

[estelle0702]

is going to be available in more colors that the grey and tan ones any time soon?

The Radian 65 comes in Tan and Gray.

The Radian 80 comes in a plush tan, plush gray, mesh gray, and pink girly print.

I doubt the 65 will come out with different colors.

The new radian xt comes in some brighter colors, but it's also more expensive than the 65 or 80.

The new Radian XT has some new colors like a pinkish/red color and more greyish colors

heres a link to a thread. You can also google radian xt

Thanks for the replies! I love the red although I didn't want to pay that much.

It's kind of annoying almost every car seat company has cute girly designs yet no cute boy designs except Britax.

Well, there are some pretty cute Sceneras out now. And there are Avenue designs that aren't bad. But I know what you mean. ;)

Thanks! I never knew about the Avenue. I like it. It would be great for a spare for my mom's car. To me it looks worth more than it costs.

Do you know the drawbacks?

[ketchupqueen]

Only drawbacks I know of are that it can be tough to get a good angle RF without a pool noodle and the pool noodles don't work as well as they did on the old Uptown because of base redesign, and it only harnesses to 40 lbs. However, that 40 lbs. comes with really high top slots and will probably last until 40 lbs.! It also rear-faces to 35 and because it's tall will get most kids there. I have an Uptown and really like it, with the single caveat of needing a pool noodle (or more than 1 if I wanted a full 45 degree angle.)

Oh, and the Uptown had an 8 year expiration date but I don't know whether or not that applies to the Avenue.
