Hello! I just purchased a Radian XTSL. I originally bought a TrueFit, but I haven't yet returned it... I am still on the fence about which one I like. The Radian is nice because it is slender and RFs to 45lbs, but the TF looks like a little better fit for my son, but not so much better that it would be a deciding factor...
Anyway... when I tried my 11 month old son in the XTSL, he seemed to be at an awkward height. He is too big for the infant insert, but he wasn't tall enough for his head to be level with the head wings, even when they were set at the lowest level. I wouldn't mind just having him use the infant headrest alone, but there was no way to attach that to the seat without the entire insert.
So, for those of you who have an XT/XTSL, what did you use when your kids were at that "in between" size? Is it even safe to use the seat w/o the infant insert before DS's head is level with the head winds? TIA!
