honestly?

:duck:
I love the Complete Air/ EB 3-in 1. LOVE it. It installs in about 4 seconds in my car, the adjuster isn't buried, it's easy to adjust and buckle, and will fit forever.

Radian!
In my vehicle it is very easy to install, has memory foam in the butt area :p, steel/alloy frame, reinforced head wings, ability to tether rf, loads of leg room rf, supportive & comfy both rf & ff :eek:, my kids sleep very comfortably in it (again, rf & ff)....um I just love it :love:

We loved loved loved the Marathon for Jordan. It installed great, fit him well, and he was very comfy in it.

I never even saw the seat as a FFing seat...at least in my eyes. We have used it some FFing, but I wasn't fond of it for that...even before the TC results.

Now, for Trevor, we are starting out with a True Fit Premier and a Coccoro. Since I haven't used either yet, I don't yet have a favorite. We'll see.

I still love my Britax. The ability to tether rf'ing and built in lock offs keep me a die hard fan. :) If the Radian didn't have such compatibility issues...it would be a contender as well. I wish Britax had the Radian buckle. But I despise Radians tether location...it's a PITA!

Depends on the age/size of the child!!

LOVE the CCO for itty-bitty ones. I still love the MA RF for mid-sized kids, and the Radian is my favorite for bigger RF'ers.

Don't make me pick just one. I can't!

Loved the MA for C when he was little (6 months to 2 years). Love the Radian for the foster babies, although it can be hard to adjust sometimes. I think those are the only 2 I have consistently used RF! Hopefully I will :love: the coccoro. I'll let you know in a month or so...or whenever ya'll tell me I can buy it!

MyRide or the Radian... I really, really love them both. But in totally different ways, go figure.

I :love: my TF's - I have two of them and really like that I can use it without the top headrest for my little one. The first time I put my three year old in it he was very excited and kept telling me how soft it was and how comfy- that is the first seat that he falls asleep in. It has tons of legroom and he is not squished in it. I had used a MA, EFTA, MR and now TF on him and this is by far HIS favorite!

MR and TF as that's what fits him the best. I loved his blvd too, but it lacked legroom and ours had the 33lb rf limit.

Well, it depends on the age and size of the child and the vehicle. For my kids, the True Fit Premiere, even though we don't have one. DS is in the True Fit, and I love the shell height, covers, leg room and the fact that it sits low on the vehicle seat so I can get him in easily. I'd like the TFP more though because of the anti-rebound bar plus the ability to access the harness adjuster a little more easily.

RadianXT for us, because it fits like a dream in my van. The only thing I hate is tightening the harness while RF.

I have an irrational love for the Boulevard. It installs so easily, and the wings are so nice for napping kids. I have to admit I was a little sad when DS outgrew it by weight a few months ago. I miss it. I do like the My Ride that I replaced it with to keep him rear-facing. I just bought a Radian XTSL (to replace my Marathon, which I also like), and while it's my favorite seat in terms of features, it's definitely not my favorite seat to use or install.

I like Radians just because I do. They are so solid. They last a long time. They are easy for kids to climb into. I really do like them.

I like my CA because it has many of the good points of the Radians without many of the bad points, and is easier to adjust. However some things about it are not quite as good.

So I'm gonna call that a tie. Though I have to say I just love the Coccoro, but it's so tiny that I don't have one. (Yet...)

If the True Fit went to 45-55 pounds rear facing, I'd pick that one.

Because it doesn't, I'll pick the Radian XTSL in general, and the My Ride for vehicles it's incompatible with.
