Radian XT or XTSL? please help

[lilye13]

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked already but I am trying not to be too impulsive here but can't quite figure out if I should grab one of these deals on these new radians. I just can't quite figure out what would be better for us the XT or XTSL?
I don't dare ask DH right now who does all our seat installs because he banned me from any new purchases but there are a great price AND we do need to replace DD's Marathons ( as I have posted before).
So I gather the SL is only important in terms of installation and in that case maybe someone could tell me if it what difference it would make for us...
We have a Toyota Sienna and an Acura TL (but this is DH's and not the first priority for replacement). I was leaning toward a Nautilus but like these new radians. We already have a radian 65 we could give her but it isn't great for napping.
Also DS2 is in a safeseat for a while and figured he would go to a MA but I guess he ultimately could go to the XL when time came...only thing with that is I couldn't get the pretty girl colors now so I may hold off on "thinking that far ahead".
Any help would be appreciated! thanks:>

Well, the XT SL will rear face 5 pounds more than the XT. XT=40 pounds XT SL= 45 pounds

You can currently get an XT SL for $216, but they do not ship until mid-late Oct. as it is a brand new seat.

thanks, that helps! Especially since I plan on using it FF for DD.
How about the SL install difference, does it make it easier or better or something?

The experts can chime in, but SL means super LATCH. I believe the weight limit for LATCH is higher in the SL. 80 pounds?
