 "Perfect Car seat that lasts YEARS!" 2010-10-20
By J. Myers (Texas)
I bought this carseat for my daughter, and later I bought one in the gray-ish color w/the squares for my son. What I loved about this seat is that it's very hefty. They weigh quite a bit actually. these aren't flimsy, or made poorly. they are really strong seats. another thing i loved was the slim design! they fit SO well in any vehicle. I have since purchased 2 more for our other car. these seats fit great in our Nissan Quest van and they fit great in my Dodge Challenger 2 door. I liked the color choices too, and let my 4 y/o daughter and my 3 y/o son pick out the colors they wanted from the website.

They are very easy to install. i liked the anchor strap being as long as it is...it makes it so easy to find an anchor whether the seat is forward facing or rear facing and in any type of vechile.

It comes with extra padding for the little bitty ones and is easily removed. the shoulder straps have several notches and fit any size child well. My daughter is very little for her age and i had a hard time finding anything in a booster that would hold her at her height/weight but this seat works so well. this seat will work from infancy to 5 or 6 yrs old!

I've been able to wash the covers once since installing the seats, it takes a bit of work to get the strapes back in place but it's not as bad as others ive had. I do wish this seat had cup holders like some, and the strap clip at the armpit level is VERY easy for kids to get undone, so you might have to change it out w/something a bit more child proof. my 3y/o son went through this phase were he thought it was 'funny' to unbuckle that thing while i was driving.

Over all i really like this seat and wish i had found it sooner it could have saved me SO much money over the years.

 "Slim car seat fits perfectly!" 2010-09-06
By P. Ellis
We really like this car seat. It is very slim and it fits perfect on our CRV allowing us to fit 3 accross. The only thing is that the lock is a bit hard to get open, I am not sure if this is only with ours or if they are all like that. I'm going to call the manufacture to find this out.

 "Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL vs Britax Diplomat" 2010-04-15
By BigBoy (LC, CA USA)
Reasons I purchased the Sunshine kids randian XTSL are:

compact width wise. i have no doubt you can fit 3 car seats or 2 car seats and have an adult sit in a small to mid size vehicle without a problem. Diplomat is wider so with 1 diplomat in my wife's Toyota Rav 4 (small "SUV") 2 small 5'4" woman were cramped in the back seat with diplomat. And there's no way a person can sit in the back with 2 Diplomat, where as with XTSL it seems possible.



Holds an infant up to 45 lbs rear facing and 80 lbs foward facing so i know I can use it for a long time. (non-SL version- rear facing 35lbs vs 45lbs on -SL so get the SL) Britax has 35lbs rear facing weight limit. It is recommended that you keep the kids in rear facing for longer than recommended 1 year and 20lbs weight limit. My son's already 23 lbs in 9 months so it's good to know that I have that extra weight limit.



XTSL has bigger side impact cushion than the 80SL however Britax has a big side impact cushion.



Don't like about XTSL:

the car i bought this for does not have the latch so trying to install it correctly took awhile since the manual like most manuals has the jist of it but does not go into great details, so it took me a while to fiddle with it. The place to insert lapbelt was big small and me being a 6' guy with big hand had trouble inserting through the lapbelt hold and grab it from other side. My main car seat is Britax Diplomat is easier to install with lapbelt since you can lift the seat cushion and see where the lapbelt is going through.



Car seat is compact width-wise but not too compact lengthwise so it compromised some leg room in the front passenger seat. And I'm glad I installed it behind the front passenger seat since i'm 6' and would've made it cramped if i placed behind the driver's seat (if you're shorter or have the seat facing forward once baby reaches the age you probably won't have problem) Once again Britax Diplomat seems to be bit more compact lengthwise but Diplomat does take up more room widthwise.



XTSL's harness has to be unhooked and rehooked as the kid grows. Britax Diplomat carseats have this knob on the side that turns to raise and lower the shoulder seatbelt without detatching the harness. The other day I put him in the seat ready to buckle then realized that he grew and the shoulder belt is big low so I turned the know few times with him in it and presto. Very convineint. In addition the side impact cushion rises and lowers together with the twist of the harness knob so it is where the child's head is supposed to be compared to the XTSL which is stationary so if you place a infant right out of the hospital, I'm not sure the baby's head will be protected by the side impact cushion where as once they get older it won't be a problem



XTSL seems to be twice heavy as the Diplomat which really isn't a problem for me since the seats won't be moving. Just an observation since they seem to be big on being able to carry it around with a strap. They do have airplane installation guide.



My son hasn't sat in the XTSL yet so that'll have to come later. My son hated his infant seat with the base, always trying to get out of the seat. He loves his Britax Diplomat. No fuss putting him in the seat and puttnig on the harness.



Britax Diplomat - $169.99 from amazon (some freak sale i happened upon)

Sunshine Kids Radiant XTSL - $239 from ebay (it's still new so i'm sure the price will drop later) Reason for buying it on ebay vs amazon. Love amazon but this vendor, Healthcheck Systems Inc., notified me over a week after a purchase of when the car seat was supposed to arrive to tell me that they did not receive the item and i won't get it for another month. Would've been nice if they told me before I purchased it that they are waiting on a shipment so i can decide based on that information. But it saved me $60 bucks and i got the XTSL model with bigger side impact cushion (Originally tried to purchase 80SL since it was cheaper.)



So beware of the vendor Healthcheck Systems Inc. Might sell you something that they don't have then you'll end up just wasting time. Good thing it was my spare carseat. If it was going to be my main carseat and they've wasted my time I'd be furious.



I'll see how much he likes the XTSL after this weekend when we have to take him to the hospital. I just realized that I haven't checked the shoulder harness height with my son. The twist knob would come handy in time like this. Quick observation: XTSL seems to have big wider butt room compared to the Diplomat so might be better once my son gets bigger.



Verdict for now: Using Britax Diplomat for now in the Main Car. Love it. My son loves it. Got a great deal on it.

Sunshine Kids Radiant XTSL - time will tell but for now seems like a great buy... got like $60 off MSRP. It'll probablyl become the main car seat once my son gets bigger and will be around longer with 80lbs max weight limit compared to Diplomat's 60lbs

 "Love this seat!" 2010-01-27
By
I have a 14 mo who is 31" tall and 22#. We have this seat (in Flora) and love it! I went back and forth forever before getting her the perfect convertible seat. I decided on this one. First of all it's the only that RF to 45# and that is what we plan on--RFing as long as possible for safety reasons. The seat is a cinch to install (using LATCH, I haven't used a seatbelt install) and although the biggest complaint I read on all the reviews I could find was how heavy it was. And it is heavy for sure. But I don't care and not sure if that should be a reason to give this seat any flak. It's sturdy. It's one of the best made and safest out there, IMO. So if it has to be heavy that's fine with me. I mean are people toting their car seats around?



The complaints I do have are these: The top tether has nowhere to go when the seat is RFing. It dangles behind the seat. I used a cable tie and tied it up but would love to see some sort of compartment on the back of the seat for it to tuck away into. Also the pad that goes on the seat (not the infant insert but the other with the wings) doesn't stay in place and has two straps that honestly I am baffled at what to do with those straps.



The good about this: Everything else. The bad is not even bad just somethings they could improve on the next one they design. My daughter fits easily in it, it's easy to get her in and strap her. It's a breeze to take out and install (again, using LATCH, I haven't used a seatbelt install) into another car. Takes about 2 minutes total. If you can't figure out the manual, which I admit could use some revisions, you can download install videos from the company on YouTube and from their Facebook page. I am looking at getting a second seat for my hubby's car as right now we only have the one and switch it out back and forth. Not hard just inconvenient. So I will be getting my second seat soon!

 "Not for older kids" 2010-04-01
By Renee (NJ)
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.

 "love love LOVE This seat!" 2010-02-24
By Eric Kirkland (Ft. Meade, Maryland)
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.

 "love it" 2010-02-12
By Catherine Mulderick (maryland)
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

 "Comfy and safe for my 21 month old!" 2009-11-30
By K. Mathews (Columbus, OH USA)
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!

 "Great seats! Exactly what we needed!" 2009-11-28
By F. Raber (New Jersey, USA)
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!
