I have radians, and don't like them at all. If I were to replace their seats, what would you suggest?Here are my kids' stats.

DD 3.5 years old. 37inches. 37lbs.13.5 in torso

DS 18 months old, 32 inches, 27lbs, 13 in torso.

They are both 70-80th percentile for weight and around 20th for height, but they are built totally opposite. DD has long legs, short torso, DS has long torso, short legs. RF until at least 4 is my goal.

Thanks!

Have you tried a Complete Air? I'm guessing with a long torso the MyRide won't be a good fit. What don't you like about the Radians? There should be more higher weight seats coming out very soon, the EFTA and Momentum, and the new Britax seats all will have 40 lb rear-facing limits.

I was thinking about the MyRide for DD, I sat her in it and she has 3" above her head. Plus she can buckle it herself and she loves that.

I agree, it wouldn't work for DS. Is the complete air worth a hoot? I haven't heard much about it.

Before getting the MyRide for your DD, you might want to try it in your vehicle forward facing (unless you don't intend to ever use it that way). It can be incredibly reclined forward-facing in some vehicles. I have one, and for rear-facing I think it is great, I'd love to try it with a newborn sometime:)

I think the Complete Air is a great seat. I don't have one myself, and I've only seen one briefly at a store (DH is always in such a hurry:rolleyes:). I think if it fits well in your car, and fits your child well, it is a great seat... nice and tall, nice headwings, can be installed quite upright, etc.
