As background: I posted a few days ago about wanting a seat for my daughter who is still RF. She is 2.5, 33" and 27 lbs. She seems to hate any and all carseats we've ever put her in. She does seem to like to recline a bit. When we tried to put her FF for a long trip, she requested that we move the seat back to RF. We have a '97 Honda Accord, and her seat is in the middle (no LATCH).
I'm now trying to decide between the Sunshine Kids Radian 80SL (suggested by someone on this board) and the Britax Frontier. I know the Frontier can't RF, but my understanding is that it does recline a bit when FF. Is this true? Do you think it would be comfortable for a child who likes to RF in a recline position?
When I looked at the Radian in person, the sales person told me there is no recline in the FF position. This wouldn't be an issue for a while as long as we keep our daughter RF, but I dread the day when we have to FF because of weight. I also worry about the install of the Frontier in our car.
I am leaning toward the SK Radian 80SL, primarily because it seems like it would be the best fit for our tiny car. I also like the idea of the Radian because I know ERF is safer.
Any advice on what to do? I would like to avoid purchasing multiple seats. Any anecdotes about the comfort of your kids (FF or RF) in either of these seats would be appreciated!
