Anyone in Chicago want to test the RF limits of the Graco Smartseat?

I could use a model to showoff the RF limits of the new Graco Smartseat, preferably a child tall in the torso and close to 40 pounds! I may be shipping it out next week, so act soon!

To Heather or Kecia or someone for a full review. My preview was pretty comprehensive and a full review by me would mostly just re-hash everything. Instead, I'm going to post some photos, video and a few comments and turn it over to someone else for a second opinion!

Why must you be on that side of the lake??? How come you're not one of the many Chicagoland persons that come here every weekend?

I'm not in Chicago, but I do have a 36-37lb 4.25yo Second from top slots on the Radian.

I have lots of time on my hands and a handful of vehicles I can test it out in (2001 grand marquis, 2010 flex, 2005 matrix, 2006 civic just to start with)

We are too boring to have a lake house or a condo at a golf resort in WI, MI or IN. If we did, I wouldn't have any time to do carseat stuff!

I have a 30 lb DD but at her height she should be closer to 40. She might not be ideal but we are local to you.

Can't you just go stand near a school with a bag of M&Ms and lure some kid into the carseat with promises of candy? That's what I'd do.

Dang. Wish I were closer. DS has outgrown the RF Radian at 3 and is right at 40 lbs.

On second thought, you could always ship it to me and I could hand deliver it to Kecia.

ETA: And I could test the baby aspect too.

Hey if you want to ship it to VA, I am onboard. DS is 35ish lbs and 38-39 inches tall at 3-years-old. Still fits well RFing in the Radian, so it would be interesting to compare the two.

In the words of my toddler....AAwwwwww maaannnnnnn....

I'd LOVE to test it out for you, but we're nowhere near you (but you know how much it costs to ship to me, since you shipped us the stroller LOL). My 29 mos old is about 37" tall, 31 lbs (he's slimmed down lately), and has a super long torso (outgrowing some 3T shirts). My 5.5 yrs old is 43 " tall, 38 lbs, and still somewhat long torsoed.

Oh, and I'm not a CPDT....guess that would be a requirement.
