I'm fairly certain I am going to be buying a new XTSL when it comes out, but I'm curious about the mesh on the Radians. Is it similar to the Frontier mesh? We have a pink sky Frontier and the mesh is horrible! DD doesn't like how it feels on her legs and it is just piling and looks almost black now. If it is at all like that then I will stick to the plush.
And another question about these new Radians, this car seat will first be primarily for my DD2 (almost 13 months, 25-26lbs) who is currently RF in a 33lb RF limit Marathon. How far do the XT's headwings go down? Will they even benefit her at this age (I'm not sure of torso length, but she is still on the first slots in the Marathon). I'm planning on her staying RF until 3, unless baby #3 needs to move into before then. So I guess I'm just debating between the XTSL and the 80SL (the 65SL will most likely not get her to 3, my 2y 8m DD is already 40lbs). Are the headwings the only difference? Are they worth the extra money?
