Radian versus Nautilus

Does the nautilus have higher top slots and head room than the radian? The top of ds3's head is even with the top of the radian, and I'm uncomfortable with it going over. I was thinking of getting him a nautilus if it has more head room.

It is perfectly safe for his head to go over tha shell of the seat. As you probably know, the seat will be outgrown when he reaches the weight limit, the tops of his ears reach the top of the shell, or his shoulders go above the top slots (and with the radian, they say that really doesn't matter, but not many techs agree).

That being said, because of the headwings, yes, there is probably more headroom in the nautilus.
