A Radian question.

We have a XTSL. So it obviously RF to 45 and FF to 80. 80lbs seems like a big kid to me...My mom is only 98 lbs, lol. Anyway, could the RN possibly be the last car seat we need before she's ready for a seatbelt, or will we still probably need to buy a booster?

The radian is likely to be outgrown around 65 pounds or less. It has a height limit of 53 inches. Kids generally need to be 57 inches tall before they fit in a seatbelt alone. A child will need a booster between radian and seatbelt alone.

I'd expect to need a booster. We have a Radian, and my 6 year dd old fits in it (it's ds's seat), but I can't imagine it would get her to to point where she'd 5-step. And I also don't believe it would get her to 80 lbs; I'd bet she'd outgrow it by height first, also long before she fit in just a seatbelt.

You'll need to buy a booster. My DD's stats in my signature are current (around 45" tall and 38-40lbs). She has less than half an inch of harness height in the XTSL. Diono/Sunshine Kids lets you go over the harness slots, but the headwings only go up so high. What I'm trying to say is that my 40-ish lb 6 year old will have outgrown the XT, and most obviously will need a booster for at least the next 3+ years.
