My daughter is 2 years old, 34" tall, 29lbs, 12" torso (long legs!), and she is getting cramped in her Boulevard.

The goal is to rear face as long as there is a seat that I can obtain which fits her height and weight.

Radian is 40lbs RF, MultiTech is 55lbs Rear Facing.

I want a RF tether and headwings so these are my options.

I love the steel construction of the Radian and I love the weight limit of the MultiTech.

I am nearly certain she will outgrow the RF seat by height before weight becomes a factor, but 15lbs is a substantial difference.

Which would you choose? (Price and legality is not a concern of mine- safety only.)

*I* would not suggest a MT for a child UNLESS they have a medically fragile condition that needs those extra lbs/shell height since we now have three seats that RF to 40lbs that are legal and safe to use here in the U.S.

I have never been able to see/play with a Radian IRL but I have a feeling even my son (with a torso length of pushing 18" now :eek:) would have just outgrown the Radian RFing due to weight. Well, we would have had to turn him FF for a few weeks since he was up to 42lbs but he went down to 35lbs and is just now at 40lbs again. Josef is 5yrs8months today-I would be totally fine FF him, and do ;)

With that torso height and the now RF limit of the XT I would recommend that. It will be years before she out grows the XT RF and there may be even more on the market by then. (This is coming from some one who really, really wants a MT).
