There is no height limit, it's specific to the seat. And even if the seat does list a height limit for the seat, it's not absolute since some children are longer or shorter torsoed. The general rule of thumb is as long as there is at least 1" of shell above the child's head.
The RF weight limit for the Radian is 30 lbs (as is the Marathon, EFTA, AOE and all of the other convertible seats). The TF is the only seat in Canada that has a RF limit of 35 lbs (with the exception of some of the older 3-in-1s that have 35 lb RF limits, but the ones currently being made are 30lb).

Thank you!
I was trying to figure out why I thought there was a limit and realized I was probably just confusing it with a minimum height for ff.

There is a max 32" rf limit on most seats, BUT since children are different with some are long torsoed and some are long legged, we go with the 1" rule for this (at least 1" of carseat shell above the top of the head) to help parents prolong the use of the rf carseat safely. Some parents make the decision to stick with the low 32" rf limit and some research and decide to use the 1" rule.
