By measurement, I believe the True Fit is higher. By seeing my kids fit in the harness? It'd be the Radian. Because the Radian installs so upright forward facing, you actually get more harness height. I know my 6 and 9 year olds could fit in the Radian when they'd outgrown the True Fit.

and the radian allows for the childs shoulders to go above the top slots.

As long as you meet some other requirements. :)

Forward-facing: Straps should be in nearest slot at or above the level of the child's shoulders.

Note: When using the uppermost harness position, level of child's shoulders can be above harness slot as long as the child is proper height (see page 34).


Page 34:
Maximum Height:
Child is too tall for restraint if tops of the ears are above the back of the restraint OR if the child is more than 53" tall.

I have both and measured. I think the Radian has .25-.5" over the True Fit, but the True Fit's shell is taller by quite a bit. I can't remember exactly how much now.
