We have a subaru legacy station wagon, and currently use a s'n's meridian in the rear-facing, fully reclined position behind the passenger seat. The passenger seat is far enough forward to be comfortable for an average height person, but anyone tall has their knees in their ears. OUr DD is 10kgs, can she have the S'n'S in a more upright position, and still RF? (limit is 13kgs RF)
My next Q is, #2 is coming along in Nov and will inherit the S'nS, and we want to move DD into a carseat that extended RFs (probably Radian) but want to know how far the radian will push the seat in front of it forward, I'm guessing she will be in a more upright position by then? If the radian isn't suitable for a Legacy, is there another carseat that will work? Only really require RFIng until 16-18kgs-ish then will FF ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You should be able to put your girl in the most upright setting now. They only have the reclining angle for newborn-6 monthish. Baby on the move stock the Radian so you can go try one out in your car to see how it fits. -------------

squoggs we have a SnS meridian and you can't really get it into a more upright position as when rear facing it only has the one mode. Our Radaian takes up slightly more room than the SnS when installed more upright. There are other seats that baby on the move stock that don't have as long a back. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| You can get a Radian more upright in a legacy and if it but you may need a click forward of the back most position of the passenger seat. The question would be whether there is a seat position for the driver if both seats push the front seats too far forwards. There are some tricks to getting a nice upright install of the Radian and unfortunately some installers are better at it than others. It is worth getting a second opinion of you can't get it in the first time, once you know how it is easy. |
