(sorry I'm posting as unregistered - I tried to register this morning and the email confirming it never arrived)...
I've got a 38-pound 2.5 year old who is just about too big for her FPSE.
Right now, it's the height issue, so I'm moving her into her big brother's Graco Cargo this weekend to gain the strap height. However, that only gives her another 2 pounds before she's too big by weight for it.
I'd just about decided to order the Radian when I started reading all the problems people have been having getting it tight FF. A number of you have solved this by using it RF, but that's not an option with my over-35-pounder.
I will *never* be using the seat RF, and for the foreseeable future, the only car it will be in is our '01 Subaru Legacy (Wagon). I've gotten a VERY tight fit in it with every seat we've ever tried, the LATCH is centered nicely and the tethers are handily on the roof of the rear cargo area...
Anyone have experience with installations of various seats in the Legacy? Anyone have experience with a Radian in a legacy-like vehicle?
Also - when people talk about the Cosco Apex needing "tall seatbacks," how tall are they talking? Does that height include the headrest height? What if the headrest is removable -- does that count?
