How much longer will a radian last RF compared to a myride?

I'm hoping to get a new car out of this but I'm still waiting for claims to call back. I want a very brightly colored car next!

Bless your heart. :(

I would say a couple of years. It will get you a good several inches. Depending on the size of your kids (how much shell does 2.5yo have in the MR?) it may be irrelevent.

You can kind of tell in this pic -- the tops of the shells are about even, but the RN is a smidge more reclined. However, the seating area is much lower on the RN than it is on the MR, which allows that extra room for growth. (A child in the RN sits essentially under the MR's cupholders.)

I get a different number every time I check but the closest was 1.5" she will be 3 in 2 days she's about 37" I know I'm not going to like it FF so I want something different even if I don't get much more RF time.

My xB definitely lost the fight with the F250 with a cattle guard.

A Radian, or a Complete Air, maybe. I guess you would indeed have more ime with the RN, if you stick with the 40" standing height rule in a CA. My gut is that I would prefer the CA to the RN (and definitely the MR) FFing, but it's hard for me to know. I've found I tend to use convertibles RF only and then switch to a combo seat for FF, lol.

The irony is that where the MR tends to be overreclined FF, the RN tends to be overly upright. Not always, but as a general rule of thumb.

My DS's stats are almost exactly the same as your oldest, here's the MR vs our RN65:

There's only an inch, inch & a half or so more room in the RN.

No prob! Let me know if you want some better pics or torso measurements... the MyRide is at my parent's house, but the Radian is his primary seat so I can definitely take pics at a different angle if it helps you decide at all!
