I registered mainly so I could post a BIG thank all the folks who post helpful information on this site. THANK YOU!!
I wish I had discovered this site earlier! I'm expecting #2 and it is getting harder for me to lift DS (2 yrs. 8 months 32 lbs.) and put him into his Roundabout because of the elevated platform and the higher minivan (Odyssey) seats. (Or it may be because I am just weak!) So I started thinking about getting him one of those platformless car seat-convert-to-booster seat options - the first that caught my eye was the Safeguard Go. After reading all that I can here over the past week I've decided we want the Regent and the Radian. The Regent is my first choice because it looks so roomy and DH and I want to keep DS in a 5 point harness as long as possible. But we love to travel and I'm bummed we can't fly with the Regent. So the Radian will be our spare - either for the Saturn or for trips. It does seem very extravagent to have a second when we really only use the Odyssey when we need to transport DS, but I need a car seat that is FAA approved!
Anyway, my next quest is to find an online store that actually carries it as we're in a small town -- no store around here carries higher end brands -- and every online store I've checked so far is backordered on the granite Radian 65. If I can't find a store in the next day or so I'll probably go with Target -- I just don't feel up to waiting weeks! I don't understand what happened; how did Sunshine Kids get so behind on the orders?
