We have this seat (in Flora) and love it. I went back and forth forever before getting her the perfect convertible seat. 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. 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. It's a breeze to take out and install (again, using LATCH, I haven't used a seatbelt install) into another car. So if it has to be heavy that's fine with me. I mean are people toting their car seats around. So I will be getting my second seat soon.

The new safety suggestions are to keep children remaining rear facing beyond the age of 1, a minimum of 2 years until the they meet the safety requirements of their particular seat in the rear facing position which vary from seat to seat so make... com ALL THREE CHILDREN ARE REAR FACING :) These are Sunshine Kids Radian XT SL car seats-Flora, Petal, Bently are the fabric styles.

Plus, check out our Baby Gizmo video that shows how the XTSL makes three car seats along the back seat of a car a breeze. )  Despite the folding and narrow frame, this is no wimpy seat – aluminum-reinforced sides and a steel-alloy frame make this seat sturdy and safe, and worth the extra few pounds to carry. The Radian XTSL is compact and portable, making it great for multi-kid families (it fits 3-across in many cars) and world travelers (FAA approved).   However, the Radian XTSL allows for the seat to be LATCH-installed up to 80 pounds using the Super-LATCH straps.   In addition, since the 80 pound limit means you’ll be able to use this seat longer, the Radian is approved for 8 years of use (if purchased brand new.

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... 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.
