What is your favorite RFing car seat?

My two faves are the TrueFit and Radian. The sides of the TF are a bit too high for DD to climb over and drop down out of my car, so we both prefer the Radian for her just so she can get out a bit easier. She basically drops from the seat all the way to the ground without a good place to put her foot in between, so starting out lower helps a lot. Otherwise, both have nice, high shells and are comfy for sleeping. Both are wide for the child, which makes getting the child in and out without tightening and loosening the harness each time easy. Given a choice, DD will choose either TF or Radian readily.

I find mandatory lockoffs on the TF annoying, just because I have belts that lock and therefore I don't need lockoffs ... except the manufacturer says I do, so I have to use them. It's an extra step in installation. And the lockoffs are fine at 35 degrees, but at a newborn angle are just about impossible.

The Radian XTSL is my favorite for my 26 month 23 lb 32 in tall daughter. It fits her great and she loves it more than the true fit, cocorro, or Britax rfing. My son used this car seat until he was 5 yrs 3 months old when he then became too tall rfing. He was about 43 in tall and 40 lbs When I switched him ffing to the Britax Frontier 85.

I'm funny but my cousins son that I take out once a week has a triumph and I always liked how easy it was to install and how comfy he looked. Although I never dealt with it daily I would have to say I liked it better then most of the convertibles I have tried my DD in.

Radian. The low profile makes it SO easy to get kiddos in and out.

TF hands down - easiest seat to install ever! ;) I love the super tall shell, the leg room, and the fact that you can take the "headrest" portion of the seat off when you have a newb and need that 45* angle - SUPER nice feature.

A close second is the RA55..... i hated the old Britax, but the new ones are really growing on me. If they would just make the seat depth a little more i would love it! :D

Britax with latch either gen

Ok I just love RF and latch in my odyssey!! The TF didn't work RF for me at all with seatbelt or latch

Sent from my iPod touch, sorry for any auto-correct typos!

Between the 2 I've had- MyRide and Tribute, I much prefer the MyRide. I wish I had more I could play with so that I could know which one I really like the best.

My current favorite is the RA55. I like everything about the radian, except the harness adjuster. It's SO hard to tighten when rear facing and I prefer smoother adjusters.
