Thanks for taking the time to help! We recently purchased a second vehicle so I am looking to find another seat for my RFing 18mo DD. Her TF is kind of a pain to switch back and forth and we are expecting baby number two in June, so it will just be easier on me if I don't have to move them back and forth all the time, especially as I get bigger. She is 25lbs and 33 1/2 inches as of 11/17 not sure on toro height but she is even with the 2nd from the bottom slots on her TF.

The TF fits well in our truck and I love the continuous harness for DH's so I know she is in there properly every time. However, for me, I loved the ability to adjust the harness on her SS1 everytime, which is just too hard on the TF. I also prefer the premium style latch clips if available, but it's not a deal breaker if the seatbelt install is possible.

I have been thinking about the RN XTSL but am wondering about the adjustability of the harness while installed RF.

Is there any seat that has an easy RFing harness adjuster (Her SS1 was just so nice!) I did try a MR when I was looking the first time, but I didn't love it, it seemed like a beast in the back seat, but I may have been predjudice because I really wanted the TF... willing to give it a second look.
I had problems with the EFTA harness releasing in the store models so that makes me a bit nervous for that one.

TIA for any imput you have!

I would recommend the MyRide, hands down. Yes, it looks like a beast but with the high sides, 40lbs. rf limit, dual cupholders and a very nice and smooth harness adjustor...its a great seat!
As for the Radian's adjustor, its not an easy smooth pull like the MyRide. But I don't find it difficult, just different.

thanks, I think that I will take another look at the MR, and maybe a few others including the EFTA. I liked the turn knobs on it, but It is wierd to get used to it loosening up from the bottom. In an ideal world I would buy every seat I was interested in then take my time trying them out in my car when DD would cooperate and just return the ones I didn't wan't, oh well...

I really love the adjuster on the Complete Air, actually. It has a continuous harness AND an easy to use adjuster. Best of both worlds. It has the push-on LATCH connectors, too.

It's not the longest lasting RF convertible due to leg room for older RF kids, but the recaro signo has a buttery smooth harness adjuster, both RF and FF. The other seats mentioned here will last you longer.

Nothing beats the harness adjuster on the Roundabout, however it probably won't fit your 18 month old very long. I just love that seat. If all Britax seats had that adjuster I would be in heaven.

CA is my favorite new adjuster after the rounadabout. Like the others said, the MyRide and Recaro Signo/Como are great too.
