Well that depends.
How old is the child that is going to be in the seat? Do you have a small car, or are you or your SO taller than average?

It can only be used with children 12 months and up, or kids with good head and neck control, and who can sit up unassisted.

My daughter is almost 14 months.. She will be rear facing in a toyota sienna van. We are average height. I'm so nervous to order it.. I hope I love the carseat. I'm looking at replacing all my seats with the radian rxt

Just order the seat and install it first, then decide if you need it. I've heard good things about them fitting in Siennas, so you probably won't have any problems.

That'd be neat!
DH like stuff to match. It took a lot of convincing for him to let me get a seat that didn't match the interior of his car, lol.

That's funny. I have grey right now because it matched. I have 2 myrides and 1 graco infant carrier. I can only order 1 radian until I get paid again. They when I get the money for the other 2 sometime in the next month i'll get them. I wish I could just order them all at once

How old is your oldest LO?
If any of them are FF already, I wouldn't get Radians. I'd get Frontier 85s, that FF to 85lbs then booster to 120lbs honestly...I've seen things about the Radians making only "OK" boosters. The RXT specifically, the vehicle belt gets stuck in the belt path and under the headwings.

The other 2 are FF. They are 3.5 and 5. I'm looking them up now thanks for the suggestion!

Yep no problem!
Not only do they harness for 5 more lbs, they make better boosters, they have very tall shells.

I would say so, they're pretty narrow too.
How much does your 3.5 year old weigh? Unless you planned on turning them back RF, I'd get two Frontiers and an RXT
