Hi,

Me and my wife should have our first kid around April and we want to buy one car seat that would last for long as our kid grows.

Here are the details:

* We are both tall. I am 6"5 and my wife is 5"10 so it seems that our boy will be tall (and probably thin).

* We drive small cars. My wife drives a 04 Nissan Sentra and I drive a 99 Hyundai Elantra.
* We have researched on the web and found out that Britax or Radian are the most recommended Conv. seats in the market.

The main problem is that there is soooo much information and selection (Britax, Radian, Evenflow..) that is so hard to come up with a good decision.

Even with Britax there are many models as well with the Radian (65/80).

If you can share your input or experience regarding which seat (and model) would be the best for our kis I would appreciate it.

Thank you so much for any information or advice you can provide.

Mickey

	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.
