Hello!

We are visiting family in Switzerland this summer and will be bringing along one of our two car seats to use in the plane and in my dad's car, a 2005 Peugeot 307 SW.

I don't know which car seat to bring along and would appreciate your advice.

I'd like to install the car seat RF in the center but am not sure whether that works in the Peugeot. I did read the car manual and it implies that center installs are allowed.

Will I have trouble installing either seats in this particular car?

Our car seats are:
  1. Diono Radian RXT (with angle adjuster)
  2. Safety 1st Guide 65 Air Convertible

Our child will be 21mo; she's 99%+ height, 80% weight.

I prefer the Radian as I feel that it is safer than the Guide65. However, I'll be traveling alone one way and while I have a luggage cart to put the seat and child on, I don't know whether the Radian will be too cumbersome to handle and install and uninstall on two plane rides.

My family is all very tall, so having narrow seats is a must.

Thank you in advance! :thanx!:

Welcome! My gut feeling on this is that the Guide 65 will be easier to travel with. It has fewer parts to lose and deal with on an international flight. Just be sure to take a locking clip with you and make sure that you're familiar with how to use it--of course that applies to both carseats, not just the Guide 65.
