XP: Convertible Car Seat for Me (clicky)

I just cannot decide! Which would you pick of these three? I think the Recaro's colors are the cutest. I think the safety features on these three are pretty equal.

I drive a Kia Soul.

 

Stats:

Diono Radian:

Seat size: 10 x 17 x 28.5,  24lbs

Child size: <57in,  RF 5-45lbs,  FF 20-80lbs

 

Recaro ProRIDE

Seat size: 29.8 x 24.2 x 20.6,  20.5lbs

Child size: <50in,  RF 5-35lbs,  FF 20-70lbs

 

Britax Pavilion

Seat size: 21 x 18.5 x 26,  19.5lbs

Child size: <49in,  RF 5-40lbs,  FF 20-70lbs

    We have a Britax in my car and are debating between the Radian or ProRide for our other vehicle so I am absolutely no help because I'm having the exact same debate here. 

    The Britax and Recaro have a lot less rf legroom than the Diono but I don't think that's going to be a huge issue because I don't think we'll be extended rf/rf past 2 years old. I know a lot of people who plan to have their kids rf till like 4 or 5 like the Diono because of the legroom and the shell height.

    I don't have know much about any of the above carseats, so I'm no help there. Sorry. But, I also drive a Kia Soul and we have the Evenflo Symphony 65. It fits good without having to move the front seat forward, and I think he has plenty of leg room for RF for awhile. So, if any of the seats you're looking at have similar dimensions, they'll probably fit well.

    Making a choice on convertible carseats was like the hardest thing for us to do, so GL!

    We have the Radian and I love it.  LO is much happier than when he was in the infant seat.  I like that he has room around him to move.

    I like Britax but the Pavilian has been such a PIA!  It does not adjust very easily.  I am on a carseat forum and I hear more complaints about this model.  I wish I would have done a different one.  Looking backwards I probably would have just bought 2 Graco size4me/mysize70 as it will last longer and was 1/2 the cost.
