I was all set on a TFP but the RN 40 lbs is tempting... still, I have a string bean and I think it's all gonna be about shell height for him RF and harness height FF. So anyone have these stats:

Shell height?
Top harness slots?
Highest harness slots allowed for RF?

Thanks!

17 in top harness (but it allows you to go over the harness) and a very tall shell (the only taller shell, IIRC, is the True Fit).

I don't have exact shell measurements but I can tell you that the True Fit is about an inch or 2 taller in the shell. The top harness slots on the TF are about 16 1/2 inches; Radian's are about 17 but use above the top harness slots is allowed FF. The True fit allows the first, second and third slots to be used rear-facing. I think the Radian allows all slots to be used rear-facing.

Top slots on the True Fit 16.5"? :confused:

I measured mine at close to 18", higher than 17.5".

To the OP, the True Fit does have the tallest shell, so if weight is not a concern, the True Fit would last longest rear-facing. The new Complete Air by Safety 1st is due out August 3 with a 40lb RF limit and has a 27" interior height, same as the True Fit, but the Safety 1st manual says it can be used RF to the top of the headrest, not 1" below, so if you're comfortable going to the top then it may last slightly longer RF by height than the True Fit. The Complete Air has top slots of 17" and a 50lb FF limit.
