Does anyone else think radians are hideous?

AmieRubyJonah · Jan 1, 2011

I have such a love/hate relationship with my radians. They suit my kids needs perfectly, I have perfect installs... But damn, I think they're so hideous!

Everytime I put the kids in them, I can't help but think, what ugly seats!

Not the covers/materials, but just the general shape of them!

Maybe I would feel better with the pink cover like I originally wanted.

Patriot201 · Jan 1, 2011

It depends. I don't think mine is ugly, but it is because it blends into my car.

I like seats that blend into my interior. I personally think that any of the hot pink covers are hideously ugly. :duck:

I think most carseats are ugly, though.

The Radian isn't any uglier than any other seat. In fact, I think it is better looking than most other seats. There are many other seats that are SO much uglier.

I think it looks nicer than other seats. All the others are so large and take up so much space. The Radian is nice and streamlined and when ff you hardly notice it's there. I prefer seats that match my interior though - gray!

No,. I think they are quite nice! My main complaint with them is that you can't set them down without propping them up against something or they fall over. But for the streamlined look and the low profile, I'll accept the tippiness factor!

Yes, I have always thought they were hideous. I love the look of Britax seats.

I think they look strange.

Kalinky · Jan 1, 2011

I have never thought of it as strange looking. But now that you mention it, the shape kinda reminds me of a bodybuilder.

Grabbed this dude from Google. That's a sunshine on his chest. Could be the next Radian cover.

OMG Kalinky, I almost woke up the house laughing at that!

He totally looks like a Uterus to me.

OMG, you actually made me laugh out loud!!!

I like the RN for reason previously posted. They are slim, they blend in (or would if it wasn't pink). FF they are so easy to work around. Other seats just seem so.. BIG. I dunno.

rodentranger · Jan 2, 2011

I actually like the streamlined shell of the RNs. I think their girly covers are gouge-my-eyes-out hideous though. I prefer the winged RNs over the wingless seats...the wingless seem so unfinished to me.
I like that with the RN in my backseat, I can still sit back there with both kids. With the RN ff, it's almost like not having a seat back there at all.
In fact, if the RN was easier to install and was boosterable, I think it could easily be my favorite seat.

:thumbsup: I 100% agree with everything you said!

:yeahthat: My husband especially likes how it blends into his car and it almost looks like the harness is coming out of the vehicle seat and not out of a car seat :thumbsup:

See to me...this looks good. I love the contrasting colors.

I love the look of my Radians - especially the fact that they don't sit on a base.

Very pretty!

Personally, I think the True Fit is fugly. The Radians just seem like awkward, gangly teenagers to me

I don't mind the Radians in "normal" colors... Cannot stand any of the pink or purple, blue seats... the blue trim on my Maestros are almost too much...

I

the look of Radians.

Does anyone else think radians are hideous?
