Sry there was a typo in the title, we have a 2006 Ford Escape.
I have two questions.
1. I would prefer DD to be RF for her entire life if it was possible. However, I know that it's not. I have read that at the age 4 it's safer for Forward Facing because their bones harden at that age. I am concerned, because I am quite frankly afraid to ever FF her at any time in the future. At what age is it 'ok' or 'most safe'? DD is almost 3 and a half and I am getting another seat replacement so she is going to have 15 pounds to RF (hopefully). She is considered on the small side, thin and last weigh in she was 24.5 pounds, so she has to be pushing 30 soon.
2. How does the Radian fit/install in the 2006 Ford Escape? We have the Evenflo and it's a pain (as we where warned but at the time was the most highest poundage in RF that was in our price range). DH has a DD that is no longer in a seat/booster, so I was thinking maybe we can install the radian in the middle seat (Evenflo was too wide). Would that be a better fit?
