It does also lack the small infant insert and the memory foam cushions that make its bigger brothers so comfortable. To start with, it doesn’t have the memory foam seat cushions that are found in the R120 and the RTX. There were a few things that we didn’t like about the R100 though. As a result of its narrow width, you can comfortably fit 3 across the back of most small cars – making it a great buy for parents with multiple children, or parents who spend a lot of time driving their little one’s friends around. The Radian R100 is surprisingly narrow too measuring just 17 inches across at the widest point. In our eyes, this makes it a strong contender for anyone with an eye for safety, particularly if you’re shopping on a tight budget. Children kept in the rear-facing position are, statistically speaking, much safer than children seated in a forward facing car seat and this particular option will probably let you keep all but the tallest children in the rear-facing position until their 3 years old. It’s also a 3-in-1 seat, with LATCH fittings and tethers that can be used to fit it as a rear-facing car seat, a forward-facing car seat, or a backed booster seat for bigger children.Īnd as 3-in-1 car seats go, we have to admit that the R100 has a surprisingly high rear-facing weight limit, which sits right up at the 40lbs mark. These include a robust steel frame, an adjustable 5-point safety harness and energy-absorbing, EPS foam.

Despite its striped-back aesthetic and simple, no-nonsense outline, it boasts an impressive set of safety features.
