Convince me not to buy a radian

Now that my dd is getting older, she wants to get into her seat on her own. She can easily get into the scenera, but the myride is too high, and the high sides make it hard for me to lift her over without hitting her head. So I think I've decided to sell the myride for something we both like better.

Today we went to a store that sells radians and tried one on my car. It can only be at a 45* angle in the middle, which would leave me eating the steering wheel. But it installs beautifully behind the passenger seat.

So I could get a premier for $250 or an XT for $280 from juniorbaby.com right now. But do I really need to? I can almost justify the money because I will sell the myride and AOE if I get it.

Can anyone come up with a good reason why I shouldn't get a radian? Or something I should get instead? Or maybe the real question is which cover to choose ;)

Do you plan on forward facing her in it when she's older? I know it's incompatible with my car, have you tried it ff in yours?

My car is a '91....I hope I'm not still driving it by the time dd's ready to FF. But good point, thanks.
