And I am in love :love:

I didn't get the box opened until the boys were in bed, so I have no idea how they fit. I have high hopes fot it really being the last harnessed seat they will need. I don't see them outgrowing it. DD is 80# 8 yr old tomorrow and just barely went over the top harness slots, with 2 inches before her ears reached the top of the shell.

I installed them middle and driver side outboard in DH's '02 trailblazer with the seatbelts and tethered to each front seat. I got a rock solid install within seconds.

Hopefully tomorrow or sunday I can actually get the kids in them.

Awesome! I love my Radians, too. I sometimes get frustrated with the bad reputation they have for being hard to install. I've found they're a breeze in most cars, and difficult in a few cars, just like almost any other car seat. :)

I just got mine today too!! It was raining but I attempted to install it anyways :)

My son is 32 lbs with a 12" torso and roughly 36" tall give or take. He was right at the third slots!

I don't get it :confused: I didn't even have to move the front seats up any. They take up less space than the OSA did.

I set the harness at the 3rd slots just eyeballing it last night. C's torso is 11in and J's is 12.

I've never had a problem with installing them. But I drive a larger suv. I love Radians!! I think they're a good solid seat. I like that. I don't like the feel of those lighter seats. I know they're safe and they all pass the same testing but I just personally feel more secure with the larger heavier steal frames.

Oh yeah, the Radian is awesome in a Trailblazer. Nice upright easy install for RF, I doubt you'll ever need a angle adjuster.
