Kid is 39 pounds (and skinny). Radian will be latched, so it must also be top tethered. Should I put on the safe stop or not? I can remove it without uninstalling the seat, but I will not be weighing her daily.

39 lbs naked? Clothed with boots and winter wear on?
39 pounds clothed without shoes. We don't generally wear a bunch of winter gear in the car, so just clothed with some small shoes (she has small feet as well) is what she'll be wearing in the seat.
skipspin -> Special Events - CEU Chat Session: In regards to the Radian:How exact does the weight for using/removing the safestop need to be? If a child is hovering around 39lbs, is it better to remove it, or to wait until the child is hovering closer to 41lbs?
Carseatengr -> Special Events - CEU Chat Session: If the parent is not sure of the child's exact weight, it is better to install with Safe Stop.
bensmom -> Special Events - CEU Chat Session: Also, follow up on that. I believe some people have SafeStops with instructions to 48 pounds. Is the 48 incorrect.

Carseatengr -> Special Events - CEU Chat Session: SafeStop should be used in accordance with our instructions. It reduces combined neck loading - a number not required by NHTSA, ECE or any other regulatory body.
