We need another seat, a Radian? Or something else?

So seeing as the grandparent's expired car seat has been retired, we need to replace it. So I thought we'd just go another Radian, but, now I'm not so sure. Not because we don't still love the Radian, but the lack of room is now an issue for the grandparents too as they bought a new car.  A Honda, a much smaller car than the Ford Falcon they had before where the Radian would have been no problem at all.

A few things have happened since the seat was retired too. Sunshine Kids Juvenile Products, the manufacturers have changed their name. They are now Diono. The XTSL models are now old news, and the new range of RXTs have been released. They are still the same seat just with some changes. One of which is they can now be used as a booster with the seat belt when your little one has out grown the harness. They also have a longer seat bottom with expandable sides, so if your little Monstar has a chubby butt you can widen the seat :) Another is a new range of colours. Now I know this is no way to select a car seat, but they have a cover called plum, it's a gorgeous purple!! :) But I have controlled myself and not jumped straight in and placed my order for a plum XRT :P But I so want one!!


The other HUGE news is the release of the looooong awaited angle adjuster!  Yes, this is the magical piece we have all been waiting for.  It is said to give you at least four more inches between the top of the seat and the front passenger seat!!

I was eyeing off a Graco Duo Logic or Britax HiWay2 before the announcement of the angle adjuster.   Both seats are supposed to be great for small cars the DuoLogic even lists the Getz as a car it will install in, in both outboard and centre seats.

I would love to get him in the centre seat!

So these are my 2 new things to investigate...

Isn't it beautiful!♥

The magical angle adjuster not much to look at really :)
