difference between Radian 65 and 80?

I purchased the Radian Premier about a month ago. I was wondering though is the Premier the 80 or do they make the Radian Premier in both 65 and 80? The manual I got with my carseat and the specifications on the box say it's up to 65lbs, however the manual has the picture of the other Radian carseat (the one without all the head cushions and such). When I look at Radian 80's online they look like my carseat (the Radian Premier) and the Radian 65's look the other carseat. So I just wanna know are the spec's right and my carseat is only a 65, because they make the Premier in both 65 and 80? Thanks

Look on the seat for the sticker that has the weight limit on it. That should answer that question for sure.

Hi there!

Since you mention the Premier, I'm going to assume you're in Canada.

The Canadian Premier could be the same as the Radian 80 in the 'States, but it may just be a dressed up 65. :shrug-shoulders: In any event, there is no "Premier 80" in Canada - the highest weight limit carseats are tested to (and therefore can be used to) in Canada is 65lbs.

Even in the U.S. the difference between the 80 and 65 is negligible. They are both the same size and have the same harness height, meaning few if any children would be able to use the harness to 80lbs because they would have long outgrown it by height. The 80 (and Premier) have nicer covers and extra cushions.

HTH!
