I like the pic that's available, the ones from Vegas didn't show it without the infant padding.

It looks really nice!

Not shipping until mid-January.

I was hoping for December to play it safe in terms of making sure they will work for 3 across in DH's car. I need to find someone locally with a couple Radians for me to play with ahead of time I guess!

Judi · Sep 16, 2008

Well, where are you! Alway happy to play with seats.

Judi · Sep 16, 2008

Ok, I like that one better also. What is the material like? It looks mesh.

BW1426 · Sep 16, 2008

I do not need one, I do not need one, I do not need one, I do not need one.

Really, I don't.

I don't.

I don't.

Nasa, Reo, Peda, and Hampton. . . . anyone want to guess at the colors? Or maybe the had all the colors in Vegas? Do tell!!! pllleeeeese

Gypsy · Sep 16, 2008

One is Red (obviously) and one is a Pomegranate color (or maybe that's the red one?), that I read somewhere today, there is also a black/gray one but I don't know which name is for which color.

BW1426 · Sep 16, 2008

Do we know if they fixed the RFing angle issue?

joolsplus3 · Sep 16, 2008

"The Radian XT is avialable in 4 cool colors. The Nasa color, the Reo color,(which is a pomegranite color) the Peda color and an onyx type color (Black and grey)."

Sheesh, try to be a little less descriptive....

(that's from the blurb on the website)

But hmmm... mid jan... leah might be over the RF weight limit by then and I need something narrow but more sleepable than her current radian (in our mega upright seats she is SO uncomfortable sleeping

)...so maybe I need one?

In the background of the picture you can just see the three other colors. I still like the pomegranate/flowered one.

What's the issue with the RF angle??

My boss will be buying one after they buy the new car (sometimes between now and Dec). Should we hold out for the new one? It will be for J, and I guess for the new baby after J outgrows it. Do you think if we buy the current one, they'll let us order the harness covers from the new one? J really likes the covers on his GN. Why is the removable harness important? Will it have higher harness slots? Will it still allow you to go over the top slots? Also, how far over the top slots can you currently go?

You cannot adjust the RF angle. The little guy I watch didn't like it anymore because he was so reclined and couldn't see out the window because of it. He was constantly straining to try and lean forward. So, I switched his Radian with a Marathon. I've also had it in cars where it has been way too upright for any baby under the age of probably 1. I hope they fix it.

NannyMom · Sep 16, 2008

Do they allow you to take off the recline foot and use towels/noodles?

carseatcoach · Sep 16, 2008

No. Unless the XT is different.

Jeanum · Sep 16, 2008

No, pool noodles or a rolled up towel are not allowed with the Radian 65 or 80, and the RF recline foot is mandatory with those seats. Time will tell about whether the Radian XT differs or not from the 65/80 models.

mish · Sep 16, 2008

I wonder if we will get a tech discount? I could use one of these. I transport my niece all the time and need a narrow seat. Also, I think Adam would still have room to grow.

Gypsy · Sep 18, 2008

They have updated the seats, identifying which name is which color - it's in the drop down menu.

Holly · Sep 18, 2008

Hey, is the head support adjustable so it would come all the way down for a small baby, or is it only at the top of the seat for bigger kids?

Judi · Sep 18, 2008

yes, it is. Wasn't Hampton called Onyx?

jubgulia · Sep 18, 2008

I don't know about this. It looks like the head area beween the side wings is pushed more forward. This would be worse for my kids.
