Right now I have DD1 RF in her new Princess Radian80. I tried to love it, but there are several things I don't like. First and foremost is the problem of the loosening harness--I have never loosened it, and today I had to tighten it a good 4 inches to get it tight enough (this was after a 2.5 hour road trip). And, I can only have it RF behind one of the front seats. I had it in the middle, and it started out at an ok angle but with DD's weight in it, it kept tilting backwards (towards the front of the car). So I have it braced against the passenger seat right now. Over the weekend, DH took DD1 out Jeepin' and I had it FF in the center with a lapbelt only. I had that sucker in there tight, but on a corner it tipped. He brought her back, and I put her in DD2's Marathon, FF, and it didn't budge an inch.
I bought it from elitecarseats, and I really want to return it, but I don't want to replace it with another Radian because of the RF issue. Plus, we are going to be getting 2 new (to us) cars in the near future, and I hate the fact that if we go anywhere in someone else's car, or have a rental, etc we'll have to worry about whether or not the seat will install! I got the return shipping, but I have already thrown out the box. I would love to return it for a Como or Signo, but I'm not sure how long I can wait before returning the Radian, and I don't want to have to buy another seat in the interim (we have a Triumph, but it's loaned out).
