More leg room in a Radian?

I've noticed recently that my DS2 is getting squished leg-wise in the MA. No biggie but it makes it harder to get him in. It's not an issue in DH's car because the seatback is more sloped and he has tons more leg room. But I drive a Trailblazer and with the very upright back seat he's so squished. Sooo..... I want an XT. Perhaps I'm more bothered by the leg room just as an excuse to get a Radian?
So will a Radian help with leg room? Or in a year or so will he be squished again? I know he'll still be RF then 'cause he's only 24# now at 2.
Oh, and yeah. I'm bored with the MA. I wanna play with a new seat. Love the MA but um, I gotta think of my poor baby's squished legs :rolleyes:.

I think the only solution to my problem is to just order an XT from someone with cheap return shipping and play with it.
Enable me please. ;)

Yes, there is more leg room in a radian. Also, with the low sides a child can comfortably place their legs outside the seat.

Yep, the Radian offered both my boys more leg room as you see in my sig. pic. :D DS5 who is 20mths was squashed in his MA with me and hated the TF. So I switched out the Radian in my moms Jeep for my EFTA and DS loves it!:love:

Yes! There's WAY more leg room in the Radian than the MA! The MA was reallly driving me nuts because of lack of leg room which made it hard to buckle DS in and made DH want to turn him around because he looked "uncomfortable".
The radian is fabulous for that!

I moved Elizabeth to the radian at 2 years 8 months because she needed more leg room.

Here she is in the MA and you can see her in the radian in my siggy.

She was 2 years 7 months 31 lbs in the MA picture and is 3 years 4 months and 37 lbs in the siggy, she had a huge growth spurt.
