 Like this car seat a lot August 8, 2008
We have been happy with the Radian 80. It fits very well in our back seat rear-facing and it does not budge at all. The front passenger seat we've had to move forward a bit because the car seat is very tall, but the passenger seat is not all the way forward so it's still very usable. Someone very tall would be uncomfortable in the passenger seat though. The car seat is built like a tank, which is great for safety, but is also probably the biggest downside - it is REALLY heavy. My husband swears it is more than 20 lbs. We will use this for travel, but I'm not sure how successful that will be given it's weight. We definitely won't be moving it from car to car for the same reason. I love the size of it - it is narrow and I can still fit 2 people in the back seat with it and I don't have a huge car (a compact SUV). My daughter is very comfortable in it. Overall, I'm very happy with it.
 Super Product August 1, 2008
We have been more than satisfied since we purchased this. After months of reviewing different car seats, I decided on the Sunshine Radian 80 for 2 reasons. First this car seat had high reviews and second I was impressed with how narrow it is. At 17" I can still put this in my vehicle along with my son's booster and still have room for another carseat or person. I will probably buy a second to replace my son's booster, since he will be much safer in a harness then a booster.
We purchased the SuperCool fabric due to the fact we live in Arizona and the heat can reach upwards of 120 degrees, and the fabric was supposed to stay cooler. The first day we put it in the temperature was above 110 degrees and I could put my daughter in without worrying if the seat was too hot for her.
It was easy to install the latch and it has a seatbelt like button to release the latch which makes it very easy to put it in and take it out of the car.
The only downside it has, it is a bit heavy at 20lbs, but that is due to the steel frame, but I don't plan on carrying it around much and my child's safety is much more important then a minor inconvenience of weight.
Overall, I couldn't be happier. My daughter loves to ride in it and I feel that she is safe. I would recommend this car seat to anyone.
Comfy and Safe July 28, 2008
LOVE this car seat. My 6 mos old baby has more room in it for moving his arms and legs, yet snug enough to instantly sleep in it. He was not this comfortable in his other car seat. Best part is even in the excessive heat days, my son did not sweat like he used to in his infant car seat. I should have bought this as my one and only car seat. I have even moved the car seat from one car to another multiple time (i am a girl) and have found it easy to carry it even with kid in it. It looks big but is comfortable for two people to sit on each side even in a sedan.
Great for a smaller car! July 24, 2008
We have 2 of these, one forward facing, one rear facing, next to each other in our Camry hybrid and there is still room for an adult to sit very comfortably in the back. We tried many combinations of different seats, including an infant "bucket" car seat in the middle and 2 of the Radian 80s is by far the best arrangement. The rear-facing seat is in the middle, and it doesn't interfere with the front seats' legroom at all--I think it would be a bit squished in the front if a rear-facing Radian was directly behind a seat though. The Super-Cool fabric really makes a difference in keeping my boys cool--no sweaty backs/heads. This is a great car seat, can't beat it in terms of it's foldability either! Can even store both of them in our tiny trunk if we need to. Only drawback is that our 3-year-old can't see as much out of the window as he can with his Britax Boulevard--but the upswing is that since the seat is so low he has tons of leg room. I love that they look like they were made to match the car interior, and they'll be in use for many years. Well worth the money.
 Horrible convertible car seat, not worth the money July 23, 2008

I bought this seat for my son after reading other reviewers email raving of how wonderful the seat is. As matter of fact, it is over-price, not as comfortable as I though it would be after spending $250 for this seat(I didn't buy it from AMAZON though). When you place the seat in a forward facing it does not give you a 45 degree angle. Making it very a bad posture for my son. POOR Instructions, very confusing to follow. It wasn't easy to assemble. The only thing that it does is, it could fold for traveling. I wish I didn't buy this seat.
I went ahead and bought a different convertible seat for my son, it is called First Year True Fit convertible seat. It is much more comfortable, very easy or to none to assemble. Easy to follow instructions. This seat cost $75 less I love the seat and so is my son. My recommendation is DON'T WASTE your money on this seat. BUY THE FIRST YEAR TRUE FIT Convertible seat instead. Trust me you won't regret it.
