Radian Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I adjust the rear-facing installation angle on my car seat?
A. Yes. You can adjust the rear-facing angle by using the top tether. See pages 28-29 in the instruction manual for complete instructions on top tether use.
Q. Has the Radian car seat been crash tested?
A. Radian has been crash tested according to US safety standard FMVSS213. Radian passes all the requirements with extraordinary success. So well, in fact, that Radian significantly outperforms the crash test criteria required for a 65 lb child.
Q. How can I get another copy of the instruction manual?
A. A copy of the instruction manual is available on the Radian car seat product page using Acrobat Reader.
Q. How can I get additional copies of the Child Emergency Information form?
A. A copy of this form is available on the Radian car seat product page using Acrobat Reader.
Q. How long can I use my Radian car seat?
A. We recommend that you discontinue the use of your Radian car seat after 8 years or if it has been involved in an accident. After 8 years, instructions and labels may no longer be present to read, and certain components may suffer degradation as a result of the environmental conditions in which the product has been stored or used.
Q: Can I fit 3 Radian seats in my back seat?
A: In general, mid-size vehicles will have sufficient back seat width to install 3 Radian seats. In contrast to SUV's which are more 'boxy' in shape some sedans taper inward rather sharply as they rise towards the roofline, making their interior narrower at the top. While a particular vehicle may have interior features which may affect installation, the following is a good way to estimate if a vehicle’s back seat has enough width to accommodate installation of 3 Radian car seats. Measured from door armrest to door armrest across the backseat, the vehicle must have at least 51" of interior back seat width. Measured across the top of the passenger seat back the vehicle should have about 48” of width.
