Hi all! My twin girls are 10 months old and are very long babies (99 percentile) so it's time to get them out of their infant seats and into a RF seat.
I have bit the bullet so to speak and purchased 2 Radian RXTs. My hubby and I are both tall so this seat RF in our Honda Odyssey is a tight fit....but in 2 months we can add the foam wedge and it allows for plenty of clearance.
I was also looking at the Britax, but I think for my long torso babes we may not get as much use out of it. Also, the Britax "looks" more comfy but I was told at the store I was shopping at..."looks" being the key word. The Radian has memory foam and may actually be more comfortable. Guess we'll never really know since we can't fit in the seats to test them out. Haha.
Anyway, is it worth having the seat installed RF by a professional, only to have to have it re-done in 2 months to add the wedge. Safety of my girls is the main concern, but to spend $80 now for installation and then another $80 in 2 months seems wasteful somehow. We installed our infant seats ourselves and those suckers do not move. Also, does this wedge device put them at a safe incline? The Britax stays at 45 degrees, is it really OK lessen the incline?
Thanks!
