What are the main differences in these seats?
How do your children like these?
I've got an itch for a new seat and I'm looking for a com on one for my 3 1/2 year old. She has almost over the top slots in her Radian and I am not comfortable letting her be over them.
I'm also interested in the Prosport. It looks nice and squishy. Lol!

This will give you some info on what the differences are between the regular 85 & the SICT version http://carseatblog.com/10551/britax-frontier-85-sict-review-video-and-feature-summary/

Personally I wouldn't bother with the SICT, seems more of a pain (bigger seat, more $$) than it might be a benefit.

You must have a tall 3yo! If she's outgrowing the Radian by height I wouldn't bother with the Prosport, it's probably about the same height as the Radian. The Frontier85/SICT would give you at least 2" more of harness height, and then the booster use when the time comes also.

Thank you so much! She is very tall. I wish I could convince myself to be okay with letting her shoulders be over the slots, but I just can't.

Wow, I have a tall 5-year-old and he still has room in the Radian before his shoulders are over the slots. Not a lot. He is 45inches and 16 torso.

Did you look at where the top slot is in relation to her shoulders? Push the fabric out of the way. It can make it look like there is less room than there really is.

We have the Prosport, too. The straps are clearly above in that. But again, we might have a year left. It's hard to guess how he'll grow.

We have used a Frontier85 and had no problems. I'll probably end up with the SICT at some point. My children are tall, too.
