You will really like it! I don't need another seat per sE, but would go for it. Dd4 is 35 lbs, and I know she's been there for a year, I'd worry that she'd hit 40lbs too soon! I would be on that seat if the limits were 50lbs like the US. It certainly has the height, but it may only buy me 6more months rf with her anyway. She's on track to outgrow her radian rf by October. Aside from my Kids, I'm seeing lots of older kids fitting the seat for a while!
My son is only 3 months but he's tall and over 14 lbs so I don't see his infant seat lasting more than another three months if this growing stays consistent and I love how I can keep him rear facing longer in this seat. I checked today and the sale is no longer on the foonf but the radian is still a great price which is my choice for his second seat (in DHs car as two foonfs don't fit our budget). My girlfriend is giving me her daughters seat which is accident free, never been air checked and the straps haven't been cleaned with anything harsh so I'm going to keep that on hand until I grab him a new second seat which will probably be before he even gets in it. Then we will have one for grandmas car if need be.
