Anyone who wants to use them for ERF pictures can.

DD is 4 years 8 months, 40 lbs, and wears a 5t or 6. DS is 3 years 2 months, 35 lbs, and wears a 3t. Both are RFing in Radian XTSL's in a 2001 Honda Civic. They are both on the 2nd to highest slot. CJ's shoulder are right at it and Kaleigh's are slightly above.

What type of vehicle do you have btw? I am curious to see how the XTSLs fit RF in the backseat of a regular sedan (I have an Acura). We just got a ProRide but my daughter is not even 4 months old and I can see how leg room and shoulder width gets tight very quickly in those. I love the SK Radians but they look HUGE... I'll have to find a store that will let me try one out!

They're so cute! They look really comfy too. Atti's PT was telling another patient's mother that the new recs are so nuts and I felt so annoyed because I see pictures of happy older kids all the time.

Thanks. I think they're pretty cute too. And they have TONS of leg room. Especially compared to the OS MA Caleb was in.

It's a 2001 Honda Civic.

My goodness how adorable! And such a nice upright seatbelt install! I couldn't get mine satisfactorily in the 1996 Accord, but that with a 5 month old and before I understood bracing and tethering. Maybe I'll take your lovely photos as inspiration to move the Radian back to the Honda and put my exciting new Swedish seat in the Mazda...

I wish people would understand that older kids are comfortable RF instead of dismissing it as an impossibility.

It wasn't easy to get them that upright, but definitely doable. It requires using the seat belt instead of LATCH and pulling the boot back just a little bit, any further is too far. It was about an hour and a half project.

I agree whenever anyone says that an older child cannot be comfortable RF I show them a photo of my 3 year old RF in her carseat
