I was just looking through all the catergories on SKJP.com and found the new Radian chest clip!
I have been wanting it since I heard about it, and checking the site frequently, but I've been looking in "Radian accessories" and not in "car seat accessories" where it is.
I want to buy it, but I'm not sure they really have it yet.
The pic shows it, then when you click "Buy now" it shows the pic of the old one.
Do you guys know if they are really selling the new one, since they have the pic up on the site?

Am I weird? I actually like my old chest clips. They seem to be an either love them or hate them thing, though.

I still like my IMMI chest clip better. No way E could unbuckle that one by herself and that's important to me.

I like mine too! DD was unbuckling the IMMI one on her RA at 18months, at 3years she still can't on the RN.

I was told by SK last week both via phone and email that the new clips would not be available for purchase until Feb '09.

I really like the old one too. Ours broke a few days ago, right after I saw a thread about people not liking them. Waiting on a new one.

Its according to the size of the child as to if I like the old style or new style.

Darn, I just called SK and asked about the new clip being on the website for purchase. She was shocked that they have already put it up and said that someone must have jumped the gun. The new one will not be available for sale until the end of Jan. or the first of Feb. I was so hoping to get some for my RN's since it is hard to get a tight fit on the boys with the old RN clip.

I think it looks funny, but I love that style though. The old one bothered my boys.

When I get my radian I hope it has this one, or I am going to order this clip. Mine would be for a 4 and 3 year old ;-)! So, not worried about what kind of clip. This one looks like it would give a tighter fit...
Good thing I have till Feb. 09' or March 09

How do you think it would give a tighter fit? The clips I have fit my infant, 2 1/2 year old, and 4 1/2 year old all perfectly, in a way that no other clip I've tried does.

I like the old style for babies, but not for toddlers.
I have a Britax clip on my Radian now, I've had it on there for a year.
I like it because the straps aren't so close to their neck now that they are bigger. But I want the new clip so I can go back to having an official sunshine kids clip on the seat. I like that chunky thick kind of plastic clip they make, like their old one but looks like it will fit bigger kids better like the Britax clip does.

My radian on my 5 1/2 year old at the time was always WAY too tight on his neck. It always seemed kind of loose, compared to other people who had britax clips.

DD just started complaining about the clip this weekend, so I will probably be buying one of these. The old clip just seemed giant and bulky to me. And it doesn't help that I have accidentally buckled it wrong so many times and gotten the thing jammed in the wrong place. *sigh* You'd think I'd improve with practice, but no, it's still happening!

Hmmm. It still fits my kids perfectly-- and also fits the larger, chunkier girl riding in my daughter's spare right now perfectly.

Here's why some of our kids don't like them... see how much closer it holds the harness than the Britax/IMMI one right below it? http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/HoudiniSCarseat#5121718254032190754
