Now that I have side curtain airbags, I'm wondering if I should go with a Regent instead of moving DS to a Recaro Start? Do the airbags take the place of the headwings in a way??? He does well sitting back 99% of the time, I still just keep a really good eye on him though....paranoid mommy I love the 5 pt harness, I really do, why can't they put SIP on that dang Regent?!?!?! He is about 50 lbs, almost 6 (not that age matters on this issue), not sure how tall he is at the moment, but he had about 5 inches of room to grow in his torso before getting to the top slot on the Regent yesterday when I sat him in one.
He sleeps a lot in the seat now (the Boulevard), but not so much the Parkway with it being more upright, sidewings aren't as conducive to a nap as the BV ones are, his head falls forward and all too. I find the recline on the Parkway to be a bit of a joke and we don't bother with it....don't get me going on that thing they call a cupholder!
After looking at the Radian last night, I am curious about it now. Does it actually have SIP? Or just appear to? Are the slots as tall as the Regent on the 80 lb model?
Lots of questions...sorry! It's been a while since I was snooping around a car seat board and I haven't kept up in the last year or so with what's what.
Thanks!
