Okay so I tried out the Radian XTSL in my car (2001 Chevy Blazer) outboard with seat belts. It fit PERFECT! :2thumbsup: I actually got a rock solid, pretty upright install.
I also tried the True Fit Premier and it fit pretty good. It was a little too BIG for my car and I had to pull the front passenger seat up quite a bit, but, nothing I couldn't live with!
Anyways, so heres the deal:
My son is 19 months, 25 lbs. and about 31 inches. He is RF in a MA and has about 3-4 inches above his head left.
I was considering buying either a Radian or True Fit so that he can have a little more room and RF longer (hopefully until 2.5-3)
I have a Graco Nautilus that I got as a present for my son's 1st birthday, I have the marathon, and I have a Cosco 3-in-1 (for grandma's car)
The Cosco 3-in-1 is outgrown rear facing..... He is too tall....
What should I do:
1) Sell the Nautilus and 3in1, buy a Radian XTSL for the main car and put the MA RF in grandma's car.
2) Sell Nautilus and 3in1, buy True fit and put MA RF in grandma's car
3) Put DS FF in grandma's car in the nautilus and keep him RF in main car in MA
4) Just use the MA RF in both cars (switch seat back and forth) and wait and see what new 40lbs RF car seats come out soon.
BTW: he has like NO growing room in the MR and I hate how the complete air installs in my car.
Questions:
If I get the radian, how do you feel about having it out board?? What if his legs are out of the seat and get crushed in an accident??
He has more room in the true fit, height wise, but, it only RF to 35lbs... so is it better to get a TF or a radian??
ETA: I can get pictures by the end of the week if that would help with picking the perfect seat.
