Is the Rainier a better/safer seat than the Radian? We are replacing our two Radian RXTs after a minor accident, and we're wondering if we should "upgrade" to the Rainier. My children will outgrow either seat by height long before reaching the weight limits, so the extra five pounds that the Rainier allows won't make a difference for us. I know that the Rainier boasts better side impact protection, but is there any other advantage?
The primary car that the seats will be in is a 2013 Toyota Sienna (with the seats installed in the middle row), but occasionally, like when our minivan goes in for maintenance or repairs, they will need to be installed in a 2001 two-door VW Golf. Currently, the Radians just barely fit RF in the Golf. If they were any taller, they would make it very uncomfortable (and probably somewhat dangerous) for the driver and passenger. I know that the Rainier is slightly wider at the top than the Radian, but is it any taller?
TIA!
