I've been watching & waiting for the perfect seat to replace our Sceneras fitting 3 across FF. And welp, one of my trio hit 39lbs & so I really needed to jump in & get something. We have a Radian (which we never use because they hate how close together the neck straps are)... So I ought a Harmoy Defender today. Here is the Harmony Defender side by side with our Radian. They are very similar in build. Makes me think of a cross between a Radian & a Nauti. I've never posted carseat pics before, so let me know if there is something else anyone wants. I'm a rookie.

Building the Defender took me a while, but nothing too labor intensive. I have yet to sit a kid in it, but I'm excited about it!! I can post some kid pictures later if anyone needs.

I saw it the other day at our Wal-Mart, and I really liked the look of it. Thanks for sharing all those pics!

I got a Harmony Defender and tried it out:

VW Passat Station Wagon 2004 - FANTASTIC fit! Fits the best of any of the car seats we've had (Graco Snugride, Britax Marathon, Cosco Scenera). The angle adjuster makes it really great!

Prius 2007 - AWFUL fit! I can't get it tight at all. It really slides around. Somehow, despite the angle adjuster, it won't get tight.

What do you mean by angle adjuster?

What do you mean by angle adjuster?

The twisty knob just below the harness adjuster strap. You can adjust the angle (recline) of the Defender to match with the vehicle seat for best install. Just a poor combination of words when you are also familiar with the Radians and its angle adjuster.

I was just making sure.

The other thing with this seat is it does not allow ANY overhang.
