All,
I have a Radian XTSL and have it installed in the center of my 2012 CR-V. I can get a pretty good install with the seatbelt, but it causes the belt to bunch in the latch plate and I'm not thrilled with the "wear" that it causes on the belt. (After just a few days, there was a line/stretch mark of sorts along the belt.)
I'm aware of the historic 40-pound (DD is 40 pounds) lower latch limit in Hondas, but my 2012 CR-V manual expressly defers to the carseat manual on lower latch limits. (I suspect this is because the actual anchors aren't going anywhere and it's the latch connectors that are the limiting factor.) I'm also aware of the new 65 pounds, seat plus child guidelines. And, I'm aware of the concerns with the Radian superlatch loosening/overall disappointment there. I also saw a thread where a lot of mamas said they wouldn't use Radian's latch belt past the historic car limits.
My Radian latch belt has never had loosening issues (knock on wood, I always checked it just in case.) Just checking back in now that the dust seems to have cleared on the Radian latch plate. I can get a much better install using latch - and yay for CR-V's allowing for center latch installs! So what do you think on using superlatch as it was intended?
