We are wanting to move our 6-month-old to a convertible seat soon--she is not a fan of the infant seat, and I am hoping that getting her a convertible may help with the in-the-car crying
I am pretty sure that I want either a Radian (either the 65SL or 80SL, I think, I don't really like the headwings on the XTSL) or the True Fit or True Fit Premier for her. Obviously it will be RFing. DD is about 18lbs right now and not sure about length, maybe 27 inches? (well-baby visit is Friday)...but either one should last her for awhile, I'm pretty sure. I'd like to (hopefully) RF til 3yo. I also want a lower-profile seat, and something that can install pretty upright. It will pretty much stay in a captain's chair in my '08 T&C, not be moved around a lot, so as long as I can get a decent install, it won't be taken in and out much.
Any pros or cons to either seat? Does the Radian install fairly upright in a captain's chair in an '08 T&C? Are there any install issues with either seat? There is LATCH on the seat, I know for sure. I haven't tried either one out yet, as we are just starting to look for a convertible.
I am open to other options, but those two seemed like they'd give me the most bang for my buck. Opinions or advice?
