My new Radian! IMG HEAVY!

Well, the long awaited Fed-Ex delivery arrived! (I couldn't find the camera when they came to the door, lol or I'd have a pic of the delivery, too. *grin*)

It's a small box!!


Opening one side of box - ooh I'm so excited!


Got the car seat out of the box. Several pieces. Hmm. Perplexing.


I figured out how to open the seat! *smile*


Other side of the seat - lots of do-hickies to deal with!

I give up! Shauna, I'm coming over to your house! (shauna measuring seat for curiosity sake)


Shauna reading the manual. (at this point, I'm playing with the seat, and did you know the seat fits INSIDE the regent? Wish I had taken a pic of that!)


The latch is getting inserted.


Another shot of something, lol more latch pic?


The weird dohicky stop piece. We weren't real sure how to get that thing to fit on the car seat as there wasn't enough space to insert the harness metal thingy in.


Never fear! All figured out!

pics cont'd. Did you know there's a limit of pics per post?!!



Hmm. What's this piece? (turned out to be a rf tether thingy)


The big moment - it's being installed in the car!


Final adjustments


Shauna's adorable son and seat tester.


Whenever MY kids wake up, I'll take pics of them and add them to this.

Really, in retrospect, not a big deal to install, but it was a bit confusing for that one add'l piece that goes on the harness back if your kid is under 40 lbs.

Also, there was this add'l piece of plastic that confused me at first. Turned out it was for the rf position and also display. Well, you never know. you might want to have your carseat on display in your living room, right? *grin*

I can tell you're excited! Congrats on your new Radian purchase.

David LOVES his new carseat!

Lovely photographs. LOL.


Hey, Shauna *waving*

Nice pics! Nothing like getting a new carseat.

Congrats on the new seat! He looks great in it. I bet you and Shauna were in seventh heaven playing with the new seat. I know I would have been! That's a Windstar, right? What year?

We DID have fun! *grin*

I have a 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan with those cool stow and go seats. we bought it used a few months ago when I was pregnant with twins and needed to upgrade. I miss my old Suby, though. That car ROCKED!

Oh, the captain's chairs look similar to my Windstar. How do you like the stow and go seats? They look nifty! I never considered a Caravan (in my price range) because they all had Generation 3 seatbelts, but the newest one, the one with the swivel captain's chairs, now THAT looks awesome. In a few years maybe I can get one of those.
