Diono Radian RXT recline angle

[starrlight97]

I just got a Diono Radian RXT, and with the help of some on here, finally got it installed so that someone can actually sit in the front. I'm thinking of getting one for my little one, too, but I'm curious about the recline angle. My boy (2 1/2) is reclined at a very steep angle (using the angle adjuster), but even without the angle adjuster it was still pretty vertical. If I got one for my baby girl, would it be too vertical for her, if I install it in such a way that the seat won't interfere with front seats? Thanks!

With such a young child, I would want it to be inclined such that it will probably impede on the front seats a little. It is important for her to be reclined so that her airway stays open. I would 1)keep her in her current seat for a few more months, until she can safely use the radian at such an upright angle 2) pick another convertible to use while your oldest uses the radian, then bump her to the radian when oldest outgrows radian rf 3) get the radian and use it without the angle adjuster for now. If you think the radian is too upright without the angle adjuster, test her in your son's radian for a couple of trips.
