which 35lb rf carseat do you like best?

[momto2princes]

I added an update to my Marathon or Radian XT?

I need some help deciding.

Please vote and tell me why you prefer the seat you prefer! Thanks!!

I've had two.

First was the Regal Ride - very much like the Scenera - hated that seat from day 1.

And now I have a True Fit, which I really like. It's got it's quirks, but it's a thousand times better than the Regal Ride ever was.

I cannot judge the Radian XT, or the newer Britax seats with the 35lb RF limits since I have never used them.

The RN did not fit RF at all in my previous car. I haven't tried it in my new car, but I think it would fit since this car is roomier. It fits fine in my husband's car. I had no problems fitting the MA... so, if I hadn't been able to try out the RN in person before buying, I personally wouldn't have bought it.

Also, even though it fit in my husband's car, it was at a 45-degree angle that I could not adjust no matter what. I prefer a more upright installation so that alone would deter me from buying it for RF use in my situation. I've seen pictures where other people have been able to get it more upright, though!

We love our Marathons:love:. I found it really easy to use rf.

I love our True Fit :twocents:

Of those the True Fit.

Have you considered the new 3in1 with the 35lb rf'ing limit or just not keen on it even with the updates?

(Out of curiosity, why are you doubting the 35lb rf'ing limit on the MA CS? The Advocate showed up with a 35lb limit, so I have no reason to doubt that the MA CS would be the same and that advertising is correct...)

I don't really like the 3n1's bad experience I guess and not willing to give them another go you know!

I am really hoping and have everything crossed for the MA but I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment if it turns out to not be true. I do have my heart set on one of those because I love my current MA so much but I wanted a plan b.

I love the True Fit. I love my Radians as well, and have never owned a Marathon, but I definitely like the True Fit best for rear facing.

I don't have much experience and nothing to compare to as we just got our first convertible seat...... but we LOVE it. It's a Britax Advocate and can RF up to 35 pounds. Our daughter (14 months) fits it so nicely, there's tons of room to grow and I think she'll be able to RF for so long in it. The seat is soooo plush and cozy (and I love the cover) and she seems to love it (she can see so much more now).

It was pricey, but we're happy with it.

I chose the True Fit. Mostly because of the stellar value for money. I can't justify the cost of the Britax seats with the True Fit around.

I can't adjust the poll (maybe a mod can do it for me)
I called to confirm with Britax and the MA cs in canada will only have a 30lb RF limit so it isn't a contender on the poll anymore.
