Amazon.com Product Description
The Sunshine Kids New Radian 80 Convertible Car Seat (SuperCool) offers advanced safety features, correct fit and plenty of comfort and proper support. Designed to be forward facing for children weighing up to 80 pounds and rear facing for five to 33 pounds, this convenient and easy-to-use seat helps keep your child safe in the car.



The Radian 80 features a five-point harness, five shoulder positions, three buckle positions and much more.
The Sunshine Kids Radian80 Car Seat offers:
  • Forward facing (up to 80 pounds) and rear facing (5 to 33 pounds).
  • Patented steel alloy frame for sturdy construction without bulky plastics.
  • Five-point harness, five shoulder positions and three buckle positions for safety and comfort.
Strong and Supportive Design
A high-capacity car seat has to be amazingly strong for a big child, but properly designed to provide the best performance for a small child. That's why the Radian80 features a patented steel alloy frame that offers unparalleled durability without a bulky plastic structure. Compared to other car seats, Radian also offers extra shoulder room, more leg support and fits three across in a car. Additionally, it has a three-inch longer seat bottom, provides infant body support and features adjustable head cushions for a comfy ride.

For added convenience, the Radian 80 is still the only car seat in the world that folds flat to a compact seven inches, so it's perfect for traveling. And because many cars do not allow top tether use with a child above 48 pounds, the LATCH-compatible Radian 80 can be used without a top tether with children who weigh up to 80 pounds.

The Radian 80 helps ensure proper positioning with a five-point harness, five shoulder positions and three buckle positions. EPS safety foam provides four-panel side impact protection in case of an accident, while the V-shaped top tether adds stability.

SafeStop System
For an extra measure of security in the car, the Radian 80 features SafeStop, a patented, energy absorbing harness system for added safety. This load-limiting harness device absorbs crash energy impacting a child in an accident by reducing peak forces on the chest and neck by up to 30 percent. This is especially important for smaller children, who typically have higher head weight to body weight ratios.

Safety Tested
An iParenting Media Award winner, the Radian 80 has been crash tested according to U.S. safety standard FMVSS213 and has met all requirements with extraordinary success. In fact, Radian significantly outperformed the crash test criteria required for a 65 pound child. Beyond its high safety rating, the Radian 80 is easy for parents to use and care for. It features a soft and durable 100 percent polyester ultra suede cover, measures 17.0 x 28.5 x 16.0 inches (WxHxD) when open, and weighs 22 pounds. For added convenience, the Radian 80 is certified for air travel.

It's a big seat, but sturdy. My son is 6 months old and enjoys being in the seat. He likes being able to look left and right without obstruction. The SuperCool feature was a big bonus. My son gets hot very easily and his head gets sweaty, the SuperCool material keeps his head nice and dry. We love it and recommend this car seat.


5 out of 5 stars Great. Kids Love It!   June 16, 2007

I have to say that I am very impressed with the Radian 80 car seat. I absolutely love the folding feature because it makes it easy to transport. And it's so compact that it can fit in just about any car, including airplanes. The structure is also pretty sturdy. And the 5 point harness system keeps children snug and secure in the car seat, making it near impossible to wiggle out of. We got one to use when my twin nephews came out from California and one of the boys thinks it's so comfy that he's always asking to go for a ride in the car--just so he can sit in the new seat!

This carseat was pretty new on the market when I bought it, so I was a beat leery, but I have been thrilled with it. It fits great in my Honda Civic, my daughter is very comfortable in it, it transfers easily, and it folds for portability. Along with the carrying case (sold separately), which works like a backpack, I made it through 3 airports with my daughter, her carseat, her stroller, her diaper bag, and no help. It even worked fabulously in the airplane. Just as safe as the Britax models, lasts as long as they do, but not as expensive. How can you beat that?

I did lots of research on carseats prior to buying the Radian and this was by far my favorite. I have the Pink Princess version. This seat is so easy to install. I love the support cushions that come with this model. We used both pieces with my daughter as a newborn and now at 10months she uses just the bottom piece. It just makes for a more comfy ride and more secure fit.
The size of this seat is also a bonus. I can actually sit next to my daughters carseat in our car unlike so many other brands. Or even put 3 of them across my backseat.
And last the safety ratings on this seat were a huge selling point for me. I love that it has a steel frame and is airline approved.

I did a ton of research on car seats to move my 1 year old up. After meeting with a safety expert (who was not paid to endorse any particular car seat) and seeing the Britax Boulevard, Recaro Signo, and Sunshine Kids Radian 80 side by side, this was the clear winner for us. She has both of her kids in this car seat too.

Winning features for us: I love that he can still be rear facing up to 33 pounds. This is a much thinner car seat than any other I looked at and fits in my tiny Honda Civic with an infant base next to it. The folding feature is great for airline travel. Up to 80 pounds, so we won't have to shop for another seat.

Wish it had: Not much more, it serves it's purpose well. It is a long seat and the front passenger seat needed to move up quite a bit to fit it in the rear facing position.
