I got two Radians today-my XT and the 65 I wasn't supposed to get and cancelled but it's here now so I put the kids in it.
I was hoping I would be able to get the seats more upright RFing with the new foot, but my seats are very sloped and it didn't work out to well. Both are at 45 degrees :thumbsdown: I'll play more tomorrow.
I also couldn't get it tight with LATCH, but did alright with the seatbelt. I just hate seatbelt installs because I have locking latchplates and it makes me have this irrational fear that it will loosen overtime vs a switchable retractor that is "stuck."
Also the 65 touches my pass. side front seat which isn't allowed in my car so I'll have to try to fanagle something tomorrow. It's too dark and cold now.
I really liked the XT. My only concern was that the headrest was at the lowest setting for my almost 40" almost 4 year old and was just barely right. I would have liked it a tad lower. And she's as big as most 4 year olds. I can't believe the head wings only go that low. They aren't even close on my 2 year old. So that bums me out. Especially since my younger one will be FFing soon, and the wings won't be low enough. The first pic is misleading, the side pic is better. You can see how the bottom of the wing is at mid cheek level. It doesn't surround her entire head (like my siggy pic of the Signo)
My question is, I've heard on here that if you are using the lower 3 RFing and the wings are too high you should move them up out of the way to the highest position. But my manual specificially states if the wings are too high rear facing to move them to the LOWEST position. so which is right?
I really do like the new chest clip though :thumbsup:
Here's some pics. Don't mind the cheesy grin or awful hair!! She just woke up
And the Radian 65 I'm probably not gonna keep but wanted to try out anyways.
NOTE: This pic has misuse. I didn't adjust it for her.
