We're in a holding pattern with our careseats until one of our Wizards expires (in April of next year) or until DD1 (5) has another growth spurt. She has a Graco Nautilus in DH's car and it's serving us well, but I am starting to understand some folks' preference for carseats without armrests or armrests that flip up out of the way. She likes the cupholder and the space to put treasures, but the armrests get in her way when she's trying to climb up in the car and into her seat.
I've been eyeing up the Radian carseats for some time - we also have a 2 year old who will inherit any carseats from DD1 when she outgrows them and eventually moves into a HBB. I had a brief flirtation with a Regent (as far as buying one) but then our financial situation changed and I'm sitting tight as the carseats we have right now are still working.
Just wondering about others' opinions with older children, as far as whether armrests are worth it or are a pain (or whatever). I'd love to have a look at a Radian, but no-one around here carries them.
Thanks!
