I need to get a second convertible for my husband's truck, and I'm not sure which one is the best choice! I already have a Radian as my primary seat, so I will be wanting something a bit cheaper. I'm thinking My Ride, True Fit, or maybe a MA? It will be 3-across with a FF True Fit and Frontier.

Best second RF seat?

You can fit a Frontier and two True Fits in a 3 across?
Wow!
If you can fit it, and it's suitable for your child, the True Fit Premier is on sale at Zellers this week for $120, which is an amazing deal.
This is for the youngest child? As you probably know the TF rear faces to 35lbs, which for many kids is more than enough, and of course it's quite tall.
With the selection of seats you have, would it make more sense to pass the Frontier down to the middle kid, the True Fit down to the littlest one, and get a new booster for the oldest? If your oldest is ok in a booster full time, that is. For long trips you could always swap seats around and put her back in a Frontier. Just throwing that out there in case you hadn't considered it...

I'm not sure if another TF would fit, to be honest! It looks like it would, but I'm not 100% sure. My oldest still needs to be harnessed for long trips(which we usually take with my hubby's truck), so that's why she still needs the Frontier. I assume that the TF Premiere has addressed the squished adjuster issue?

I would also consider passing down the TF and getting another Frontier or a Nauti or Maestro or something along those lines for the middle child. Unless, that is, either of your current convertibles would expire before you are ready to FF the youngest, leaving you short on convertibles too quickly.
What is the truck? Does the TF work well RF in there? I wasn't too fond of how the MR or classic MA fit in our extended cab Silverado when FF due to seat shape and how it fit on the seat (or didn't all that nicely) and leg room, but you could always swap the Radian into the truck once FF is on the table if you didn't like the FF install. The original TF fit nicely in our truck.
