Narrow FF Car seat (Canada)

DD is 4, 30 pounds and about 38". I want to move her little sister to her Marathon (RF) and move her to a more 'big girl looking' seat (obviously not a booster).

I had thought about a Radian but it seems a bit overkill. I am not worried about a super high harness limit (height or weight) because our family is small and she will likely be 7 before she hits 40 pounds anyway! Ideally we would like to fit 3 seats across our Kia ROndo (hard I know) to fit her cousin (Keyfit), DD2 (Marathon or Scenero RF) and DD (FF in middle)

The Radian is going to be the narrowest seat to fit, so it may be your best bet. Even if you don't need the higher weight capacity, kids height often exceed their weight and you may find that the higher top harness height is helpful. With having a younger sibling to hand the seat down to, that may also be another reason to go with the Radian - it's good for 8 years and at this point you don't know if your youngest will need the higher harness height of the radian. (And you do know the Britax will expire before baby is done with being in a harness.)

You could also try the Complete Air - it doesn't have arm-rests so tends to be a relatively narrow seat. I believe that Dorel is also coming out with another seat that is fairly narrow called the Guide, but I don't think it's as narrow as the Radian and I'm not sure when it's expected in stock.
