Would you be comfy with knees overhanging in RF Radian. added pics in reply
My little guy is 3y8m and has outgrown the rear facing limit on his blvd and true fit, so I purchased a Radian XTSL for him and it arrived yesterday.
I have an 07 Corolla and it installed easily and fairly upright outboard on the passenger side. I want to keep him rear facing for awhile yet because he has leukemia and he has a infusion port implanted right where the harness goes on his right side. So my fear is that a hard stop or accident while forward facing would put a lot of pressure on the port. The surgeon who placed it obviously wasn't thinking that day with regards to placement.
The issue is two fold. The radian is known for leg room but Atticus just got AFOs yesterday as well as his new seat. AFOs are ankle braces for those needing deciphering. So he can only froggy in his seat now. His knees hang over the edge of the seat about 4" so the only thing between the door of the car and the radian is his left leg. The radian has about 6" of space from the door. I can't put him center because his sister's booster is driver's side outboard.
Would you use the seat with his legs overhanging so much? He didn't say he was uncomfy and actually likes the seat. I wish the TF went to 40 pounds rfing.
