Hello!
I am researching convertible car seats for my 4 month old who will soon outgrow his infant seat. We're using the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe carseats for our older son (4 year old) and we've liked them, but it seems they are no longer made. We have a 2002 Subaru Forester and a 2003 Toyota Corolla and will need to rearface our baby's seat in an outboard position. I read something about the super latch not working in older model cars but am thinking we could still install with the seat belt and/or tether? (Trusting the car seat technicians in town here can help with that as they are great!)
I would love to get the Radian XTSL because of its safety features and its narrow width which would be great in our smaller cars. But, I'm wondering if it will install well rearfacing in the side position? I would love to put it in the center but don't think that will work as well with our older son sitting in back too.
Also, would it make more sense for any reason to switch our older son to the XTSL and have the baby in the Radians if we go with them? And, does anyone think the Radian 80SL would be better? Or, do you have some other carseat suggestion entirely? I'm open to ideas! Thanks so much in advance!!
