The radian can be tricky to install. So be willing to work with it and a tech to learn how to properly install it in both cars.

Although---for less money, the same time frame for use, and probably easier to use overall---Take a look at the Evenflo Trimuph Advance. Should you have other grandchildren in the near future, you'll be able to adjust it easily between children.

As for the radian's width---depends on the kid...if it's a chubbier child, it may not be wide enough, but if it's a slimmer child, then it should last a good while.

Also remember that carseats expire.

	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.
