So a local store finally got the Radian xtsl for me to try in my car. It fits.
However, before I spend the money I am wondering if I have looked at all the options and picked the safest seat.
Here are the facts:
Will be buckled in the middle with a lap belt in a Trooper. Seatbelts only- no latch. I had it retro fitted for a tether so yes I can tether the seat. We will be purchasing a Honda Odyssey this October so I need a seat that will fit in the new car as well.
My daughter is 34-35lbs. 37-38 inches. 3 years and 4 months old.
I can not rear face her in the summer because it is too hot. I may rear face her in the Odyssey but she will be almost 4 years old by then so who knows.
I have gone to our BabiesRUs but they do not carry all the carseats available.
What seats are out there that would work for her age? I like that the Radian has the eps foam, steel enforced, sits low on the seat,true side impact and good test results.
I do not like the Graco Nautilus. I do not care if it will convert to a booster later on as I can buy a booster if need be. I can order it online if I can not get it local.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
