Fill me in! I just came across this... any reviews, specs, etc yet? I figure it's a glorified RadianXT but just curious about the fit in booster mode if anyones tried it? Are they out yet? Are they worth it?! :cool: Like I need another seat!

They're not out quite yet. We were told October, so it should be any second now. There are a gazillion threads on them, and I think a couple of carseatblog posts on them.

Here are the first posts I saw when I searched.

Actually, I have to correct Wendy. :eek:
It is out in a few stores already- if you have a Buybuybaby near you, I'd definitely check there. :) My store had had it for several weeks now.

I may appear to have broken the english language, go ahead and blame my phone. Sent from my Droid

I don't know where you've been :p

It looks like a neat seat, but it's very expensive!

I quickly bought a regular RN because I think the new ones look silly with the little belt guides (I think they look like ears). And I KNOW things are going to get caught & ripped on those metal loops.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the fabric... they look "shinny" which to me looks cheap. Just a personal opinion. I like the Sunshine logo better too rather than the Diono.

Why the name change anyway?

Is the angle adjuster available yet? Any ideas when?
Not yet, but any day now. There was a problem with the first batch, so we have to wait for the second batch.

They wanted a more international sounding name.

You bought a clearance RN? How neato. :) who's riding in it?



And lmao about the stuff getting caught on the 'ears'. My goodness, you sound like a mother of 7, or something. :love:

They had the red at KIM. And it was the same kind of material as Britax's Onxy and Sunshine Kid's Shadow. And Britax's Livia. I really liked it, much more than the mesh. but, eh.... don't need the booster mode for my kiddos.

I got a Shadow Premiere to match my Onyx Frontier :D. I also have a Shadow cover on the way for one of the Montereys. I've decided my seats must be coordinated :D.
It's been RF for Kiera (3.5 yo) in DH's Protege so far.

My van is stuffed. There's always someone climbing over or under a RF seat. And I'm forever leaning over and squishing around seats. I would TOTALLY rip a pocket on those clips. I know it!
