Technically, I don't need a new seat yet. But...I hate the Radians. This weekend I was going to swap seats around and rf the baby in a Radian. I couldn't get a good install. Not with LATCh (which is the only way it will install ff in my van), not with seat belt.
I plan to try again and hubs said he would as well. But, frankly, I don't care. I am so done with that seat! I'd bust them both to pieces today if I had replacements!!
I want a Britax. I miss Britax.
I know there's the MyRide and TrueFit and whatever else out there. I know the MyRide is quite affordable even. I know it's plush and pretty and well thought of in this community.
But I'm a Britax snob. After having Britax for so many years, then getting the Radian and being so fed up with it (them) these last few years, I just have no desire to be out of the Britax bubble again. I wanna go back!
Is the Roundabout really a 'bad' choice, compared to the MyRide? I know what I'm getting into regarding rear facing leg room. BTDT with 3 kids. They all fit fine. I do not have especially large children. All of them have easily been able to rear face until 3yr.
I'm just so tired of install issues and lack of versatility. I have 2 LATCh positions in my vehicle and that is where my Radians *must* go. I would *like* to move seats around as the children grow and personalities develop and children prefer different buddies, etc. But I can't because those seats can *only* go there. And the boosters do better with the inside belts.
And I'm just annoyed.
Just give me permission to be a Britax snob or tell me why the MyRide really, truly, is a better choice.
That's all I need. I don't need to hear about alllll the other options, or to give all the proper stats or whatever else. I'm not a newbie needing the car seat tech monologue.
I'm just a Britax fan who has been burned by going with another brand and is wanting to go back to her comfy spot. I know the MyRide is a good seat, I just don't know if I can choose it over the Roundabout. (I'm comparing to the Roundabout because price is comparable and I'm ok with the 50/55 ff weight limit...again, I don't need the monologue..I'm an expired tech, I know that bit, ok)
Roundabout vs MyRide .... whatcha got for me?
