 Great seat November 8, 2009

My daughter is 16 months old. She is already 32 pounds and 34 inches tall. I really want to keep her rear-facing as long as possible, so I was in the market to buy a new car seat when I came across this one. I am very impressed with it so far. She previously rode in a Evenflo Triumph Advance, which was extremely wide and took up most of the back seat, even when it was placed in the middle. This seat is very narrow and provides her with much more leg room when rear-facing. It has a nice low profile, which makes it much easier for me to get her in and out of the back middle seat in my civic. She seems very comfortable in it. I haven't been able to use the "superlatch" feature because my car was manufactured prior to September 2005, so I installed the seat with the seatbelt and it honestly couldn't have been easier. It is in VERY securely too. I am confident that this seat is as safe as any seat could possibly be in my car. I know that people have reviewed other Radians in the past and seen it as a "negative" that the seat is so heavy, but I don't have a problem with it...of course it is heavy, it's a steel frame! Besides, the fact that it weighs 23 pounds is not hidden in the description of the product, so no one should be taken by surprise. It is a very big seat. My only "con" really, is that I had to move my front seats up to fit it in the back of the civic. I can still fit in the driver's seat with no problem, but I'm closer to the steering wheel than I'd like to be. The trade-off, though, is that my daughter has so much more leg room in the back, so it is worth it to me. I'm glad I made the purchase.

It was not easy to install the first time, but it will be from now on if it needs to be moved. It is narrow enough to fit in my Jetta and still allow room for two adults to sit comfortably in the back seat. It is tight on leg space for the front passenger when rear-facing, but not impossible. Baby loves being able to see out of the window better. She sleeps much better in the car now, as I suspect she is far more comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone.

I've been looking forward to buying one of these for our daughter. I'd read reviews that said they were fabulous for safety, but not so amazing for parents to install. Truth is, not only does the seat look 'cool' (we bought it in 'Petal'), it was a DODDLE to install - we have a regular sedan (a Mazda 6) so had been a tad worried about how much space it would take up. The fact is that it's more compact than the infant capsule that we'd had prior. We did refer to Sunshine Kid's helpful install guides on youtube, but could've done it without the extra help and just with the manual. The hardest bit was reading all the material that comes with the seat, and getting the right bits of head rest/padding in the right spots. All in all it was done in less than an hour - because we were pedantic about reading all the info - and it took about 3 actual minutes to install it into the car itself. Go buy one - you won't regret it!
Great car seat for several children and travel February 11, 2010

I got this car seat about 2 months ago and have been very happy with it. My 9 month old is very comfortable, and the side pieces support his head when he falls asleep. My 6 year old fits in it too and I might purchase a second one for him as it is significantly smaller than the britax regent that i have for him. (and now that he is reachign 50 pounds, the radian is able to keep him in 5 pt harness using just the latch...unlike the britax) I jsut completed a trip, traveling with this car seat for the first time. It was such a breeze to keep on taking it in and out of cars, the latch is super easy to use compared to other seats I have had. And it folds up too! The only downsides are that it is extremely heavy -- so I wound up just checking it underneath instead of carrying it to the gate and using it on the plane... and that when using it rear facing, it requires that the seat in front of it be moved up. So my 6 foot husband didnt have a lot of leg room when the seat was behind him. But overall very happy with it and would purchase it again!

I've had way too many carseats as a result of not doing my research, but now that I've found the Radian XTSL, I won't buy anything else. I have three boys, ages 4.5 (51.5 lbs), 2.5 (37 lbs), and 11 months (22.5 lbs). We recently purchased 3 of these carseats in the Eclipse color. I love that they fit three in a row in my minivan, and actually, because we could fit three in a row, we sold our minivan and bought a crossover, and they fit perfectly in the bench seat in our Kia Rondo. I'm happy with the convenience of being able to fold them for travel, and the kids tell me they're comfortable, and my older two boys can even climb in and buckle themselves in. I'm about to order the travel bag because I'll be taking one through the airport next week, and they're a little too heavy to carry without the backpack straps, but for the safety of a steel frame, I'm okay with the extra weight.
