The Radian Car Seat is a truly revolutionary infant/convertible car seat. It is one of the most unique seats on the market. It accepts a child from 5-65 lbs. making it the perfect car seat. The Radian 65 car Seat is great for multiples as well. The Radian Baby Car Seat can fit 3 across most standard sized back seats. It is a convertible which is at least 2 inches narrower than most other convertible car seats. That bit of narrowness is a big difference in the Radian car seat and other convertibles. However, this Sunshine Kids Car Seat does not compromise with the child''s comfort. It features 3 inches more interior should space than most other car seats. There is a base included with the Radian 65 car seat too. It has a reclining option which is perfect keeping the child comfortable on long trips. The carry case is a recommended accessory because of the weight of the Sunshine Kids Radian Car Seat.

I was looking to find a 5 point harness seat that went above and beyond to hold my 3 and 5 year old daughters forward facing. This seat was highly recommended to me.
br /After searching and comparing this seat with the Britax Regent (needed tether and too wide, not FAA approved), the Costco Apex (too bulky), the Safeguard Child seat (too pricey), I found this one to have all the things I required:
br /1. Slim design so I could fit 3 child seats across one row in my SUV.
br /2. Something that offered great cushion and padding.
br /3. Something FAA approved.
br /4. Something that could fit outboard or center seat location.
br /
br /After receiving the boxes (ordered from other internet vendor) I could not wait to rip them open. The seat is totally together for you and the directions are so simple to read. (if you use it rear facing you do need to attach the base)though. It is a heavy seat so I could not imagine lugging it around through the airport comfortably but I guess if you need to travel you will have to do so. I wanted FAA approved just in case we needed it but I basically wanted it for the thin seat design and extended 5 point harness feature.
br /It was easy to install. What a nice snug fit in both the middle row seat center and outboard positions. The seat is lower so my girls can climb in themselves which they love. One thing I wish it had was attached cupholders but that is really the only complaint I have. I opted to get the ones that attach onto the window next to my older daughter and that works fine.
br /The champagne color is very lovely and looks great with my camel seats.
br /The blue is also nice but I could not locate that in my online search.
br /If you are thinking of getting this seat, definitely jump on it. You will not be disappointed!

Great Narrow High Harness Limit Seat!

I love this seat! I purchased it for my 3 year old to replace a Graco CarGo because he's getting close to the 40 lb harness limit.
br /
br /This seat was a breeze to install with using LATCH or the seatbelt. I tried it both RF w/the tether and FF. It fits rock-solid in our extended-cab pickup!
br /
br /Comparing this seat to our Britax Marathon...same harness weight limit; Radian has top slots that are 1/2" taller; the Radian is much more narrow; this folds and is surprisingly easy to carry with the built in strap.
br /
br /I can hardly wait to order a second for my other child!

Don't buy. Not worth the money. Horrible Seat

Seat cover keeps falling off to the left. This caused the styrofoam to chip off. The company (Sunshine Kids) refuses to send another one even though it's only been 3 months since purchase and I have a receipt. They keep saying it's amazon's responsibility. Amazon is only responsible for 30 days.
