I purchased this seat to keep my 6 year old daughter harnessed for as long as possible. She out grew her Eddie Bauer 3 in one seat harnessed and my husband and i were not ready to put her in a booster seat yet. My daughter is 48inches tall and weighs aprox 60lbs. This car seat though solid was very narrow and was aprox 9.5 inches across the interior seat area. She fit into the seat, but had no room to grow across the thigh area. This is a great car seat to buy for a baby because it really does grow with a child and would probably accomodate a child up until they reach 5 or 6 years old. I found it difficult to adjust the head rest up and down and found the back shell to be very sharp so that i would hurt my fingers adjusting the head rest up and down. I liked the fact that it had a low rating for chemicals by Healthy Stuff.org for car seats. This is one of the reasons i did not choose the Britax car seats because of their over use of flame retardants and lead in some of their car seats and also after watching the crash test videos of some of Britax's car seats from Transport Canada. You can see the Britax car seats harness came right out of the shell on impact from some of the crash tests. I did not feel comfortable with this brand after seeing this. I like that the Sunshine Kids has a steel frame and that is probably why they don't have to use so many flame retardants as some other car seats. I searched a long time to figure out what brand to choose and called car seat companies and in the end discovered that my daughter was going to have to use a booster seat. So i picked the Sunshine Monterey and I am very happy with my purchase. I returned a First Years Compass Booster because it didn't have enough torso protection for me. If i am going to have to use a booster seat i wanted one that was going to give me as much protection as possible. I would recommend this car seat to anyone who is having a baby and/or toddler and wants a seat that will last a long time. It has a nice fabric and is very soft and comfortable. There is a lot of padding and it is solid. I don't have a latch system in my car, so you can use it with or without latch. I wish they had made it wider in the seat area to accomodate a child up to 80lbs most children in this weight range would not fit into this seat.

We bought a radian 65 for my oldest son when he was moved out of his infant seat about 4 yrs ago, but since we loved it so much, we decided to get this upgraded seat for our new baby. He LOVES this carseat so much. We are just now moving up from the infant seat since our guy is still so little (not even 17lbs at 10 months). this seat was SO easy to install-- even rearfacing. It's much more "cushion-y" than their previous seats so that's a nice upgrade for them. We love how narrow the seat is so we actually have room in our car for another carseat and another adult to ride in the back if necessary.
a possible con for the seat (for those that are concerned) It is a rather tall seat because it accommodates up to an 80lb child. We have a pontiac vibe so the passenger seat is moved up rather far and isn't too comfortable to sit in for long periods of time and will definitely be a problem for those that are taller than average. To us-- our child's safety is well worth the discomfort and doesn't bother us at all.

Excellent seat! Easy to install. Opted against the infant seat by chicco for several reasons.
1) knew she would get too heavy to carry her and the seat for more than a couple months.
2) this is safer and it makes sense to spend a little more money on one great seat, than two ok seats.
3) fits in my small car, unlike some of the bulkier choices.
4) easy to install
some helpful tips
whatever you decide, go somewhere that allows you to try and fit the seat in your car first
do not attempt to put it in by yourself, especially if you are 6+ months pregnant (may result in meltdown)
go for safety not convenience
this is a great brand, i never heard of it before, and am very happy i went with it over the britax

We are extremely happy with our Sunshine Kids Radian XT Convertible Car Seat, Hampton (Purchased on 10/28/2009)
by Sunshine Kids. We were actually pleasantly surprised that it arrived so quickly...only took a couple of days to get here! Our son seems very comfortable in this car seat and is able to sleep soundly when traveling or napping. I really like that he can continue to be rear facing in a 5pt harness until he is 35 pounds or 53 inches. It was easy to install and we love the Sunshine Kids Ultra Mat, Gray that we put the car seat on top of. We actually bought 2 of these car seats, one for each car. We will buy 2 more when our infant grows out of his infant car seat. We are extremely happy with all of the safety features!

We have a toddler and twin girls and bought a Prius before we knew that we were going to have a set of twins. We just weren't ready to upgrade to a mini van. The seats all fit perfectly and are comfortable for all our kids. They are heavy, but we don't carry them around ;-) - installation was ok. Would recommend it to anybody!
