1) Yes, that seat uses the harness up to 65lbs. But most kids outgrow seats by height and not weight.

2) No, your son is too small to forward face. It is recommended to rearface to the maximum limits of the seat. Which in your case would be 33lbs, if you decide to buy the Blvd. Children are much more likely to be badly injured or even killed forward facing. Please keep him rearfacing as long as possible.

3) I have no idea what your car looks like, but I am almost sure it will fit. You can go to a store like babiesrus and actually try the seat in your car.

4) I personally have the Britax Marathon. I love it, one thing about Britax is that their seats are soooo easy to install. But of course there are other seats like the Radian. It is the narrowest seat on the market. There is also the Evenflo Triumph Advance, it has the infinite adjust like the Blvd. High harness, and weight limit. Thats all I can come up with for now. If I think of anything else, I will edit.

Even though your son will be 1 yr old, he is still too little to forward face. Like I stated above, he is safer rearfacing. Much, much, safer. People think they must turn their kids at 1 yr and 20lbs. You dont have to. It is just the minimum requirement, but not best practice.

FYI, my dd is 16 months old 24lbs and is happily rearfacing in a Marathon.

There is no rush to turn your son. He is safer that way.

Im sure a tech will chime in soon
Happy shopping!

	Sunshine Kids Radian 80 or 65 - Click for more info If "the Sunshine Kid's Radian 80 convertible car seat is (probably) the only car seat you will ever need," the "probably" part of this statement comes into play when you directly compare the Radian 80 with the Britax Regent. While the Radian 80 has a very high weight capacity, the seat width is only 10" vs. the Regent's 14" seat. The Britax Regent may be a bit wider, but it is very bulky, is only forward facing, and does not fold like the Radian 80. Because the Radian 80 is so narrow, you can potentially put three of them side by side in the back seat. Three Regents side by side? Impossible.
