Hi everyone! I have a 2 year old daughter that is 27 pounds and 35 inches. She is currently in a Roundabout, but is getting a little too tall for it becuse her torso is long. I am looking to switch to another seat and am going between the Regent and the Radian. Does anyone have these seats and do you have any recommendations.
Also, I drive a Volkswagen Touareg and am planning on getting a minivan in summer 2008. So I do not know if the Regent fits in all cars or not.
Another question about the Regent: When installed in the middle, does it have lock-offs like the roundabout? I am not a big fan of the lock offs because they do not seem to stay locked all the time. I tried using a locking clip instead, but the seatbelts are made very short into the seat, so the locking clip will not work on it. Apparently I was told that Volkswagens and Subarus have a different seat belt material that makes it difficult for the lock offs to stay locked. I guess it is more "silky". When I move her to the outside seat, I will use latch, but for now we are using a seatbelt in the middle seat. So, I would prefer not having lock offs.
Thanks in advance for all the opinions.
