clek foonf vs radian

I think I have narrowed it down to these two convertible car seats. I know someone on here posted a review about the clek and they also had a radian, can some post that link? Any other thoughts on these seats?

    The clek review is at the bottom of the page. The radian is fine, a huge pain to install though.

    I'm not sure what kind of car you have, but mine is super easy to get in and out.  So much so that I have no problem switching it from passenger to driver side when needed.  FWIW, I have a Subaru Legacy LL Bean, which are typically more difficult to work with because the center seat hump, but the Radian has been easy.

    I just bought a Radian for my son.  The only difficult part of the installation for me was the tether.  It took a while to figure out how to install it because our seats are electric and there was not a D ring anywhere in sight.  We just had to remove a plastic piece that was covering the foot of the front passenger seat so that we could hook up the tether correctly.  

    I like the radian a lot, and though parts of the installation were difficult to figure out I would buy it again in a heartbeat.  I do need to mention though that I only bought one so that I could see if it would fit in our car as well (Audi A4) and it really does not fit in the Audi at all.  I have it in our Silverado pickup and it works wonderfully there.

    I wanted to throw out another option.  I have the Peg Perego convertible and really love it.  I tried a Radian first but it was just a difficult seat for me to use.  I really didn't like the ratcheting harness tightener but lots of people don't mind it.  It not quite as tall as Radian though for rear facing.

    I don't have a Radian, but I do have a Foonf and love it. The additional revolutionary safety features are what sold me on it before seeing it and in person it is like a tank. I believe from speaking with some techs that we will see a switch in other toddler car seats in the next 24 months to a crumble zone similar to Foonf, if they can get around the patents.

    I'd got with the clek, the technology is amazing and it is not comparable to the radian. Most people compare the weight limits for these two seats but that's all tree is to compare.
