I have a 4 y/o DD who has more than enough car seats (2 Maestros and a Nautilus), so we're good for her. My son is in a CA primarily and a Guide 65 about one car ride per week.
Both have RF limits of 40lbs BUT only 36" (I'm in Canada). Right now he's about 33". I want to keep him RF as long as possible.
The Radian RXT is on sale right now for 90$ off (so $269.99).
My DD was 36" at 2 y/o and I must have not paid attention to the height limit on her CA because I kept her RF till she was 2y9m old. I'm assuming my DS will grow at about the same rate and be 36" by 2. But that's far earlier than I want to turn him to FF by.
Would you just use the CA/Guide 65 and ignore the 36" rule (I don't believe they have the height restriction on the US models, right?)? Or would you buy a Radian?

). So no, there is no 'parental decision' in there in my opinion. It's a firm rule that the manufacturer has been very, very clear on. I wish it was a higher standing height limit as it would be usable RF for so much longer, but, it isn't.
