So, I got my new Radian yesterday and have finally had a chance to install it and play with it. I like it. I don't love it yet, but it's nice. It installs like a dream in my Escape. I used LATCH and tethered it to the front seat track. My Comfy Soft came (thanks Solmama!) and the seat is very nice and plush with it in. The straps are thinner than I thought they would be, but they are fine and they have the velcro, so it should be fine. I CANNOT believe how low the bottom harness slots are and the crotch strap is super close, too. I am going to try my 4 week old nephew in it. He is about 9ish lbs and 21" long. I am not super fond of how hard it is to tighten the harness, but I am assuming this might get better.
It is amazing for three across. My friend has a Dodge Calibur and we got a MA rf pass OB, Radian rf center and the Keyfit30 drivers OB. Snug, but doable.
It's very heavy and it sorta bugs me that it doesn't stand up on it's own, but I guess I can't have everything my way. I love that it folds, because it won't be in use all the time here. I can store it under a bed and not have it taking my room in a closet. Setting it up was a bit challenging, but overall not terrible.
My only question is the storage of the SafeStop. When rf in the center of my car, the seat is pretty reclined. I can reach back and touch the SafeStop. I wonder if this would be dangerous in a crash. It just hangs there and would wack me right in the head in a crash. That's the other thing. I all the storage areas.
Now when I drive around I want someone to notice the fancy car seat in my car. Of course, no one understands my happiness at a new seat.
I will take some pics this weekend of some three across.
