AWESOME!
I've been wondering...it's looking like the next babe is gonna get a Radian.....chances are we'll be able to use it for just about the entire 7 year period it is good for!!!!
(could you tell us the approix height/weight of the newborn in the pic?)

At the most, I'd say she's 8# and she was 20.5" a week and a 1/2 ago.

The baby is so cute (and so tiny)! That's great that she fits in the seat.

I had heard that the Radian could be used for 7 years, but in my manual (page 7), it says "Do not use restraint if it is older than six years. Manufacture date is on back of restraint."

Bummer.

Update: I called Sunshine Kids, and the rep said that the manual was being updated, that it should say 7 years.

That buckle is right in the middle of her belly. Is that less of a concern rear facing then it is forward facing? I know if she was forward facing and in an accident the buckle and belts over her belly could cause major internal bleeding/damage.

That's actually a concern that hasn't materialized in real-world crashes. The Evenflo Triumph has a very high crotch buckle; so does the Nania Airway (a forward-facing only seat). IIRC, the high buckle on the Airway was an advantage for some reason? It reduced loading on the chest or something like that? I wish I could remember for-sure!

Did you plan to match baby outfits?

So cute!

That is a great fit. I hadn't seen a newborn in a Radian yet. It looks good!
