Vent Stupid Radian RF boot!!

purplemama · Jun 29, 2011

Stupid boot hits up against the Latch bar when I try to install it outboard with seatbelt because I have a BLVD70 center. I need the extra room installing it with a seatbelt gets but I can't because of where the LATCH bars are in my vehicle!!! And I can't put the boot thingy on the other side of the LATCH bar because there is the metal hinge for folding the seat down there and on the other side of that is too far out.

STUPID STUPID BOOT!!!! I'm tired of issues with the way DD fits in the keyfit so I want her in the BLVD70 center because with DS2 center he bugs the daylights out of DS1 and I have to hear it the whole drive. And DS1 has ben begging me to move DS2 so he can ride in peace. Not gonna happen I guess. And I want DD center because DS2 is easier to buckle so outboard is better for him.

UGH. Just a vent I guess. Maybe I'll take the MA65 out of DH's car and see how that goes. I need a minivan.

Hope it works out. I think I need a minivan too- and I don't even have any kids! I just drive too many kids and play with too many car seats.

How frustrating.

I don't suppose you could switch around which kids use which seats and put the Radian in the center with whichever child you want to keep in the center into the Radian???

Well yeah I could but..... I bought a Caitlin BLVD (it's um, purple) for DD. I want her in her purple seat.

I know, I know. But it's purple.

There's a new industry... custom dye jobs for OEM car seat covers!!

See if you can buy an old boot on swap? Or a new boot? Whichever one it is that you don't have?

Do you have the newer boot or the older boot? The newer boots are narrower and may fit between the latch bars. I'm not sure if you can use the newer boots with the older radians

I have the new one. Problem is I need it to fit with one part of the boot right over where the Latch bar is. It fits good between the LATCH but I need it further out to make more room. Anything else fits okay but the Radian has to have that boot.

You know..... I have purple dye. I wonder...................

can you slide it under the latch bar? Or is that not possible?

Not possible. The LATCH bar comes straight up from in the seat. So there is no under. Just metal. Darn thing.
