True Fit or another Radian (XT?) -NEED to decide tonight!!!

[arly1983]

So I miscounted the number of seats I need...

I have a Nautilus and Radian in my car. My MIL has a Nautilus and Radian in her car. My mom has a Triumph Advance in her car.

I NEED something else in my mom's car and preferably before I have this baby (Thursday) and at the very latest by this Saturday (before DH leaves for 5 weeks).

C is 36 lbs. J is 41 lbs. C is right at the second from the top slots of the radian. J is right over them.

I don't want another Nautilus.

I am thinking either True Fit or Radian ordered from Walmart.com. Last time I ordered from them it was here in 2 days home delivery.

If I get a True Fit it will have to go in my van for C. I can do a 3-across my mom's car with an SS1 (without base), Radian, Triumph Advance.

These seats will be used pretty often as my mom and MIL will be my main support for the next year and a half.

We have only been here 2 weeks and I have been surprised at how many times it makes more sense for J and C to ride with my mom and MIL and I am sure after Baby gets here, that will be happening more often. Even if one of them is not used alot, it can be used later for Baby's RFing seat.

Help me decide please:o

Some factors I have already thought of:
C loves her radian.
True Fit is cheaper (and money is an issue).
I wonder if I could get a RFing radian and 2 FFing radians in my third row? (just wondering)
Main Factor SPEED!


I would order a Radian XT but I need it like NOW!!! Everyone seems to be getting their tech discount Radian XTs pretty quick. I could order one direct from SKJP but that would be a gamble.

I forgot how old your kids are. I have no experience with the Trufit, so I would be tempted to get it. But I would probably go with a Radian because it may make it easier to get three across. I'd be very tempted to get an XT, because again, I'd want to play with it, but I'd probably get a regular radian from Walmart.com to make sure it gets there in time.

Sorry, J is 4 and C is 2.5. I can come back with torso heights after I get them to bed.

I didn't think about the whole crotch strap TF fiasco. The last time she tried one was in June and that was a 3 position crotch strap. I wonder where she would be now. She is over the fartherest out position in the Nauti.

The tech XT's aren't shipping until April now.

If you want an XT, try to find them in stock somewhere.

I LOVE my XT, so I vote for that. I've seen and played with a True Fit and it's nice, but I'd want the 3 across capabilities of the Radian's, and the True Fit is pretty wide on the inside, and I like a closer fit for increased SIP.

I vote Radian.

Oh Arly! Why did you have to leave??? :p I got my Radian XT from that store you and I went to in Snellville to look at the Frontier! They have them in stock.

I :love: the new Radian! I think that's your best bet.

Your kidding me. :eek: ~doesthehappydance~

WOW! You got an XT!

Go find your cell phone, I am calling you.

[katiesmommy]

Get an XT, C loves it and you already know that, plus they're shipping out pretty fast.

[fyrfightermomma]

Yep Don't do the tech discount. It's April.

I'd go for an XT already since you know C likes it

:yeahthat: Even on my 24 mos old he had so much room on the inside it didn't look real good to me, though the seat itself is very nice and I wouldn't mind it for a bigger kiddo. I was debating between these 2 seats as well and just ordered the XT. babyviva has them and cribs n kids, and there were a couple other places too.

[arly1983]

Ok, You guys I right. I really like my radians and I am willing to work something out until I can get an XT.

There might could be a way I could get one in the next couple of days ;)
