Radian reviews and recommendations?

[bouncingbabyboys]

I am wondering about the Sunshine Kids Radian seats. I have a Radian 65 and really love the ease and low profile it provides. So I was going to buy a few more--however, I'm thinking I should go for the 80. So then I saw the XT. I think the XT has higher side impact protection, but I'm not sure(?). I don't really like the flaps sticking out. I have 7 children 10 and under, I can just imagine those flaps being pulled on to help themselves get into the seats. I have an 03 YukonXL. Any advice one way or another on these seats? Thanks!

As all of the seats have the same top slots they'll all be outgrown at the same time. So I wouldn't go for the 80 unless you adore a specific cover. If you don't like the wings on the XT at all the 65 will suit you just fine. They're all the same shelled seat and basically all the same except for some cosmetic differences. So if you know and love a 65 you'll know and love the install and use of the 80 and XT, other than the wings.

Sweet! Thanks, Wendy, that is exactly the type of response I was looking for!
Any ideas on the best place to buy them online? I have caught a few threads about the seats being a little older, so I don't want to order "old" seats. Or ideas where NOT to buy them online might be even more helpful! I'll be needing 3, so shipping discounts are a plus. I live in KS, close to the OK border, so Tulsa is a option if anyone knows of a place that sells in that area?

Most online retailers offer free shipping on orders over $100...so you should be fine in that regard.
