Not all babies and toddlers fit the "standard" sizes for car seats and boosters. Some might be too tall for an infant seat but too light for a booster--and vice versa. The Sunshine Kids Radian 65 car seat aims to include those in-between children. With safety and performance at its core, Sunshine Kids designed an omnibus convertible that combines maximum protection, comfort, and ease of use. It starts with the steel alloy frame; complemented with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam around the head, neck, and torso; and completed with comfort foam and plush padding. Install in a rear-facing position for infants five to 33 pounds via seatbelts or using the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). Strap baby in with the padded five-point harness and attach the two-piece sternum clip. Comfort pads will help prevent chafing on the neck and shoulders. Convert to a forward-facing booster seat for toddlers and children up to 65 pounds. You can use the five-point harness up to the maximum weight, and the five shoulder strap heights grow with the child. Feel safer knowing that your child has the same impact protection well into their school age years. The Sunshine Kids Radian 65 quickly folds for a depth of seven inches. The steel frame is less bulky than the normal plastic, and the narrow bottom allows for multiple car seats in the back. Manufacturer recommended age is birth and up with a maximum weight of 65 pounds and maximum height of 49 inches. --Scott Teal

Compact but difficult to install September 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We purchased a pair of these 1 month ago in order to get three car seats accross the back of our '02 Pontiac Montana minivan. Two radian 65s and a Britax Roundabout fit together perfectly.
The good: All children using the seats find them to be comfortable despite being among the narrowest full size seats on the market (Children just under 40# right now with skinny butts). They do not miss their Britax Marathons. Polystyrene foam padding around head area. Deep side bolsters to protect in side impact. A wide range of seat harness height adjustments. Buckles are easy for children to buckle though a bit harder to unbuckle.
The bad: Forward facing seat installation with shoulder belt was very difficult owing to poor routing of belt path. Seat belt is forced to bunch up making it very difficult to tighten belt adequately. Belt path is also quite low on seat requiring twisting of female seat belt end to lower it below belt path. After many four letter words during installation, they are finally in and are never coming out again. The seat is also quite heavy which can make it difficult to carry around despite its folding design. The sternum buckle brings the shoulder harnesses too close together causing them cut into the kids' necks uncomfortably. We replaced these with the buckles from Britax and problem is solved.
Overall a safe and sturdy seat that makes it possible to put 3 seats accross a standard 48in. minivan 3rd row, but loses a star due to difficulty of installation.
 Works as advertised May 22, 2008
We liked the first one so much that we bought a second one. They are in separate cars right now; however, as soon as the baby goes forward facing, we will put both in our Camry next to each other. The front/crotch strap could be longer.
Best Carseat we have ever used February 29, 2008

With 5 children we have gone through a lot of car seats. This one is by far the easiest to use and the most comfortable for the kids. It easily installs with LATCH. It is a little more challenging using a seatbelt, but once it is in we have a great install. We bought 2 - one for a 5 year old and one for a 3 year old. Both are able to buckle themselves in and our 7 year old can unbuckle them. After riding in it for almost a month, my 5 year old still tells me how comfortable it is. We will be purchasing a 3rd when the baby is ready for a full sized carseat!
If you are looking at putting 3 across a seat, make sure you have enough shoulder room. The top of the Radian is wider than the base - just enough so that we can not safetly install 3 in a rear bench.

This carseat is AMAZING! We have had this carseat for over a year and a half and it is sooooo great, our 5yr old loves it and she will be in it until she is 6yrs old, which we love.
Yes the carseat is heavy but thats part of what I love about it. Also the price is really fantastic, Britax seats I think are ridiculously expensive, yes they are safe but not everyone can afford it so this seat is a perfect option.
Very secure, very safe, very easy December 6, 2007

My daughter is very tall but very light. She had outgorwn her infant seat, but not the weight limit. I searched and found the Sunshine Kids Radian 65 which could accomodate her height and her weight. The item came very quickly and it only took a few minutes to assemble. I will not hesitate to order from this site in the future. The latches are so easy and secure. I feel very confident with the carseat's steel construction and it fits very securely, no movement. My 4 year old likes it because it's not a baby seat, but she is still in a 5 point harness which keeps her comfortable. I am very impressed with this product and will purchase another one for our next child as well. I can't believe how easy it is to get her in and out of it! I was not happy at first with the cost, but after using it, I realized it was well worth it for her to be as safe as possible and now, it really doesn't seem so expensive. I couldn't put a cost on the security and safety of my child. It seems that it was designed and put together by people who know what parents and kids need.
