Help with Diono Radian RXT
DH and I have decided to get these for DD's once baby #3 comes along. We have to get 3 across in my Chevy trailblazer and it's the only way with an infant seat.
Do they have to be FF? Or am I allowed to keep them RF? They will be behind the driver and in the middle. The infant will be behind the passenger.
Does anyone know where to get them at a reasonable price? I can't believe I have to buy new seats after getting 2 britax boulevards

Help with Diono Radian RXT
I'm having a similar problem. I'm pregnant with twins now and have a 3 year old DS. I have to fit everyone in one row, I have no 3rd row. I'm planning on getting DS a radian and 2 chicco keyfits for the babies. It's going to be such an ordeal to fit these seats in!!
My DS is in a perfectly good myride 70 now, but it's just so big. The radians are $$$

Help with Diono Radian RXT
Diono Radian is a great car seat for RFing b/c you can RF for up to 45lbs! It's one of the car seats I'm considering for when the time comes. The cheapest I'm seeing right now is $269.99 at Target and Overstock.com for certain colors.
ETA: BRU is having a sale now where they're $272 and includes most colors.

Re: Help with Diono Radian RXT
Just make sure to try it in your car first RF. I am still considering one - I only have 2 kids but I'd like to be able to fit a person in the back with the two seats...maybe.
But when we tried it, It seems like it only works if you push the front seat up a lot.

I've heard that the Diono angle adjuster that's sold separately can give more room.

Love my Diono - has the heighest rf limits in the market. I got mine on sale at BRU and used some coupons. I know Kohls also sells them and you could probably use a promo code with it online.

How old are your DD's? Are they currently RF or FF? If they're currently FF you may have other options that are less $$
They can RF, and if you get the angle adjuster it will give you a bit more room for the driver and passenger seats.
You can get them online at Kohls. Do a search for coupon codes that you can stack so you can get a good deal!!

If your DS is currently FF you can also look at the Harmony Defender. Why spend the $$$ on a Radian when you would only be utilizing half of it's use.
The defender is a combination seat. It harnesses up to 65" and then converts to a high back booster and then a no back booster. It is the narrowest combination seat on the market.

Thanks! I actually still RF DS, so that's why I was leaning toward the radian. I just don't know if it'll be possible to keep RF him with 2 infant seats.

Depends on the vehicle and the clearance between seats. The car seat guy on here could tell you.
