I JUST ORDERED A RADIAN!

Lenae · Jan 13, 2012

I talked DH into it. I don't know how it happened actually, he was really opposed to it, then all of a sudden he was like, "Yeah, you can get it."

I got an RXT in Spring from amazon for $248.99 and it actually shipped here for free! I'm doing the happy dance right now. I have wanted a RN for forever, but it was always out of our budget. ALWAYS. But now I'm going to have one!

So, anyone ever install a RF RN in a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Should I be ordering an angle adjuster too?

I am happy for you!!

I swore I would NEVER get a Radian. Well I ended up getting a 65SL from swap and I love it.

I love my Radians (I have a 2009 XT and a brand spankin' new Diono RXT). Congrats and yay for free shipping!!

Hooray for getting a Radian and double hooray for free shipping!

I have been really pleased with DS' Radian. I have a 02 Jeep Liberty and it installs great in there. I think that Jeeps and Radians play well together overall. You may not require the angle adjuster but I have found that DS really likes being more upright so I use it. I hope you love it.

The female end of of my seatbelts are recessed into the seat itself. Isn't long belt stalks a common problem with RN install issues? Because that won't be a particular issue for me. Do RNs play nice with leather seats?

They do with mine. Radians have rubbery grippy pad bits on the bottom:thumbsup:

I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee which appears to be a very similar one to the 1995. I had a Radian RFing in the middle (lap belt only) perfectly. I could get it to 17 degrees, so I'd say no, adjuster needed.

It actually installs amazingly in every seating position RF or FF.

This makes me want a Radian again.

My seats are cloth btw.

Awesome! I'm excited for you!

We have two RN's and I'm still debating on getting an R120 in Daytona.

I can't say I love my RN's but I am becoming quite fond of them. At this point we don't have any other real options to keep ds3 RF as he's at the limits of our MA's by weight, he doesn't fit in our RA55 unless we do origami on him, and he's almost at the height limit for our MR.

DD is leggy, and it's driving me (and DH) nuts. DH was already starting to push to turn her FF now that she's 2, because getting her into her seat was dumb. Even here on the island, I am NOT ready for her to be FF. I am hoping the RN will solve this problem.

Am i the only one who feels sorry for the poor little penguin they are gonna strap the radian to to get it there?

Seriously though, yay!!

we just got a radian too. I like it, but not loving it. It is a sunshine kids version and the harness adjuster is just so hard to use it is ridiculous! And I can't get a tight install with latch because it loosens itself. The chest clip seems HUGE on my DD, but that isn't a biggy. I REALLY want one of the new ones...I heard they adjust a lot smoother...and I LOVE the purple!!!! And I don't like the wings on the xtsl and don't need the extra weight limits anyway since DD is so tiny still.

Hope you love yours a ton! And yay for free shipping to AK too!

I think you really need to hit the "submit" or "place order" button or whatever it says and get that seat!

I'm totally blaming you for my desire to buy a blue RXT!

ahgirls · Jan 13, 2012

I wondered how long before you clicked order. I'm glad you found someone to deliver to the Arctic for free.

ProudMommysince09 · Jan 14, 2012

Awesome, I think you will like it. Had mine for a month now and it's a very nice seat, love that it has lots of padding for the tush lol. And yippee for free shipping to Alaska!!

We have a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee,cloth seats though..I have never tried it rearfacing but it fits awesome in any rear seating position FF,we used to keep it in the middle when I drove it full time and it fit like it was made for that spot,now I can't for the life of me get it to install in my 04 Sienna with the seatbelt...
