"great forward facing but not so great rear facing" 2010-02-14
By SK (Irvine, CA United States)
I have a 2005 Acura TL and a 2010 Honda Accord and the car seat back is too long so it won't work rear facing. When the car seat is rear facing it lays on top of the front driver and front passenger seat. I am installing the rear facing car seat in the middle backseats. So when your driver memory seat moves it won't move because the car seat is holding down from the pressure of the tether strap. It would be great if the Radian car seat back wasn't long. Oh and the car seat is heavy. I am not sure how the lady in the picture is holding it with one hand.
"Got belts?" 2010-01-21
By K. Szabo (Ohio)
If you have an average-to-smaller vehicle, need to take your carseat on a plane, or have lots of patience (for the frustrating belt system), get this car seat.
PROS:
*Strong, safe (and heavy) metal frame. To me, its weight is proof of it's superior quality, but my wife is always surprised at how heavy it is.
*Folds for easy transport (well, easy if you can secure the belts and can comfortably lift and carry a 25 lb seat).
*Plenty of rear-facing legroom for our 17 month old (compared to the Recaro Signo G2).
*Sleek, slim design makes it easy to get kid in and out, and for adults to sit on either side.
*Supposedly the only car seat tested to have no hazardous chemicals present in the fabric.
CONS: There seems to be a problem with every belt on this seat:
*When transporting the seat, the LATCH belt slides out, forcing you to try to re-thread it through the thin passageway in the bottom of the seat, which is quite difficult, unless you're Houdini. It should be permanently attached (like on the Recaro).
*LATCH belt is attached to another belt that dangles and gets in the way when trying to fold or unfold (and latch) the seat.
*Very difficult to adjust the shoulder strap height (unlike Recaro's very convenient knob). On the Sunshine Kids, the metal bracket should be a T bracket, with one belt on each stem, but it's more like a J. It's not easy to get the belts off the stem when you need to adjust the shoulder strap (strong needle-nose pliers help, but it shouldn't be this difficult). Also hard to cram the belts back onto one stem.
*When rear-facing, most of the unused anchor belt is just hanging off the back as you can't shove the whole thing in the little plastic pocket. Unsightly (which doesn't really bother me), but gets in the way and the metal buckle clanks against the seat, although only when car is in motion.
*When rear-facing, the unused Safe Stop belt also has nowhere to go, although the manual says to put it in the same pocket in which the anchor belt doesn't even fit. Also clanks around when driving.
*The crotch belt... if you can somehow fit your hand through the above-mentioned LATCH belt passageway and successfully unhook and adjust the crotch belt, just move it to the furthest position so you never have to go through this process again.
*Not a very tight fit (too much play) in the rear-facing position, again, compared to the Recaro, which doesn't even budge.
*The belt that keeps the seat in the closed position (for transport) "stows" in the seatback, creating a hump behind your baby's head or back.
*I sent Sunshine Kids a simple question from their Customer Support page, but they never responded. I'm glad to see another reviewer had better success on the phone.
*A popular consumer reporting periodical and the NHTSA rate this very poorly for "ease of use." I would definitely agree.
"Excellent seat" 2009-12-30
By J. Rogers
I own two of these seats, I've installed them forward facing in several vehicles. The seat fits well in every vehicle I've installed it in, the latch and tether systems are easy to operate. The seat folds so it is easy to transport and store. The seat is lower and narrower on the outside but wider on the inside than any other car seat I've owned (mostly Britax) so with a little planning it is easy to fit additional seats on either side of it. It is by far the most solid feeling car seat I've owned.
No complaints from the child in the seat, so it must be comfortable. He has been in it for a few five to eight hour stretches.
It is also worth noting, I called the technical support line with a rather obscure question about the latch system (specific to a vehicle) and the technical support person I worked with was both knowledgeable and friendly. It is rare these days to call support, get right to a human and get excellent service.
Excellent product with a company that stands behind it.
"Forget the britax, this is the best car seat" 2009-12-29
By Omar Shahine (Seattle, WA)
We have two Britax carseats, the roundabout and one Marathon.
Needless to say they are both huge, and cumbersome. Especially to travel with. When you have a child the last thing you need is some large odd shapped object to truck around the airport.
The Radian is excellend for travelling. While it's heavy, it is so slim and easy to cary when folded. This is especially true if you get the travel back that they make.Sunshine Kids Radian Travel Bag, Black
This is a really high quality car seat. No styrafoam like the Britax, but nice foam (almost like memory foam). It's very simple to install using the latch system, especially if you child is forward facing.
In both our cars this car seat fits well and allows for 2 passengers to fit comfortably in the back. I also appreciate how "low" our daughter sits with this car sit which makes it more comfortable for her and us.
