Question Radian vs Ranier vs peg perego

jschallh · Jun 29, 2014

I'm looking for opinions on all three. In addition, anyone know whether a lower side profile like radian is less safe for side impact? I'd prefer less bulky sides and people rave about the radian but is it less safe than others with more side wings?

I own both a a Radian and a Peg Convertible. The sides on the PVC aren't even that bad. I think I prefer the PVC over the Radian by a smidge.

I had a radian, but I hated it. It was very difficult to tighten/loosen the harness because the adjuster was smushed right up to the vehicle seat. It wasn't very comfy for my DD and she was at the awkward height where she couldn't technically use the headwings, but with them all the way up they were low enough for the top of her head.
I sold the radian to a friend who needed one and bought the peg convertible. I really love the peg. Super comfy seat that's nicely shaped and well padded. It has a normal, smooth pull harness adjuster, and the no rethread harness is nice too. It can be installed more upright than 45* so it doesn't take up too much room in our tiny cars RF.
