TrueFit w/ ARB vs. Radian XT

xxluckychicxx · Dec 6, 2008

I went ahead and took DD out of her SS1 and put her into DS's MA. She is still riding in a SS1 in my ex's car though. My plan is to buy her a new seat around her birthday (Feb.) and move the MA into the ex's car.

When I order the seat for DD I plan on ordering the same seat for DS (I'm OCD and need them to match

). Right now he is in a Nauti, but I need to move it to my mom's car so that she will have a seat for each kid (she already has DS's Uptown for DD).

I'm trying to decide between the Radian XT or the TrueFit w/ ARB. Which one will have taller top slots? Does anyone know if there is going to be a girly TrueFit?

Also I looked but couldnt find it... I need the information on how to get TTs installed because DS is now FFing fulltime.

Comparing two carseats not out yet is going to be tricky, however I'm sure you can get a quick answer on tethers from someone with a LATCH manual if you post an new question with the make and model of your vehicle.

The Radian will have taller top slots if the TrueFit with ARB is the same height as the current TrueFit and the RadianXT is the same as the current Radian. I think the TrueFit is like 16.5-17 and the Radian is 18 inches (plus the controversial inch allowed over the top slots

).

The radian measures 17".

The True Fit is about 17.25". It will last about .5" longer in terms of fit of kiddo when it's installed than the MA, and probably about 3/4" less than the Radian if you go by shoulders even with shoulder straps. :thumbsup:
