Would a radian allow more air flow?

We downsized from a van to a 2003 chevy impala. I got a 3 across with DD rf in a proride, DS2 center in a radianXT and DS1 in a nb harmony.

DD's eczema is 10 times worse when we get to wherever we are going. We have the vents aimed at the cieling and we can see her hair blowing, so we know she is getting some air. Not only are the current breakouts inflamed, she has new spots on her legs and arms. They go away (or lighten) within about 10 minutes of being inside.

I was thinking of trying the radianXT rf for her. Do you think with it's low sides, it would allow the air to reach her better? If she were any heavier I would consider turning her for the remainder of the summer - but here in GA that may mean into November. :rolleyes: And she's around 22-23 pounds fully dressed.

I do not know if I can get it to work in a 3across with my other seats available to DS2, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Also - am I wierd to be concerned about her being in the radianXT right by the door???

That might work.

We moved Pia from a MA to a MR RF center and that helped a TON. The angled back allows more airflow to her. I think maybe the samething could be done with the Radian vs. Proride.

Since she is outboard, can you try her center? That helped a lot for a/c here.

And fall better not be in November, I want it soon like Sept would be nice.

I couldn't get the radian anywhere BUT the center for rf. That will not work in 2 weeks when the boys go back to school. They have to exit out the right side of the car.

I returned it and am going to order a CCO to get us through until cooler weather.

I'm praying cooler weather is not far off, but I'm sure it will be. Lovely GA humidity. :rolleyes:

Arly has my MR for now, but I will keep that in mind for next summer.
