I'm wanting to buy another RN. I have an older RN65 and I've always known I liked it, even though it's only been a backup. But the last few days I've used it a ton. With all the snow we've gotten, and my van being worthless, I've been moving carseats for both of the kids between my Dad's Tahoe and my Mom's Blazer. I love how versatile the RN is... I really don't think any other seat compares. In my opinion, anyway. I can use it for either kid, and it's not too much of a "baby seat" for Liv, or too much of a "big kid" seat for Elias.
I've always planned on buying another. An SL, obviously, as many of you have, for the higher rf limit. Although chances are, I'll never really need it. My kids are taller than they are heavy, but since I'm going to need a higher shell seat anyway for Elias, I might as well just get the one with the higher rf limit.
So I'm wondering, just out of curiosity, of those of you who have RN's, which ones do you have and why? How do you feel about them? Are you happy with your decision or do you wish you would have gotten a different one? (Only comparing RN's.)
Also, you can answer the poll for as many as you own.
Since they came out, I've wanted an XT. But I'm starting to wonder if it really offers that much more protection to justify the cost difference. Even though the seat doesn't seem very deep, Elias looks perfectly contained in the 65. Honestly, I'd probably be fine with another 65 (SL). Liv's 6 years old and still not even 50 lbs. She'll outgrow it by height, like many, before hitting the 65 lb. mark. Plus, she's 6.
