When we were searching for a convertible seat I focused a lot on maximum weight and height limits. For this (but also many other) reasons, we ended up with a Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL. I'm happy with the seat.
It occurred to me, though, that with the existence of seats like the Graco Nautilus and Britax Frontier, that other shoppers needn't be too overly concerned with maximum forward-facing limits of convertible seats, yeah? They should just figure out which convertible seat allows their child to remain rear-facing the longest. They could plan to do convertible seat, then combination seat, then . . . backless booster? Of course some of it would depend on the dimensions of the child related to their age/maturity/readiness for a booster.
So, what seat do graduates of the Radian XTSL tend to go to next? High-back booster? Backless booster? Would it be fair to say that the Radian should allow us to skip the combination seat altogether?
