Smooth Harness Adjuster?

snack · Jul 13, 2009

We were in an accident yesterday and so need to replace our DDs' TFs. DD1 is 22 mths old, 27ish lbs, and sadly i do not know her height. She is on the 2nd slots in the TF. DD2 is 10 mths old 18ish lbs, and on the 1st set of slots on the TF. They are both RF and will be until they've reached the limits of the seats they are in.

I am considering Radians, True Fits or True Fit ARBs for them. My attraction to the Radian lies in the 40 lb weight limit. I am concerned with reviews I've read regarding difficulty installing the RNs and difficulty adjusting the harness both RF and FF. I particularly like that the RNs are very narrow and low profile. I

d our TFs but the buried harness adjuster was a bit annoying and I find it very difficult to tighten the harness with the girls in them. I have to TUG TUG TUG with all my might. My concerns with the TF Premiere are the same (although the adjuster would not be buried) and I'd go with the ARB hands down if I liked either of the colors which I don't.

Maybe I should check out a MyRide...

Thanks for any and all suggestions and responses in advance.

If I had room for them in my vehicle and did not plan to have more than two children I would go for the TFPs'. If you need the extra space I would choose the Radians. I didn't find it hard to adjust the harness, but I am not sure why others have that problem.
Maybe you could check out the Radian successful install thread to see if your vehicle is in there somewhere.
