The Sunshine Kids Radian 65 Proves Its Strength
We've always thought the Sunshine Kids Radian 65 car seat was built like a tank, and now we have proof.
In early July, 2009, a parking deck in Atlanta collapsed, damaging or destroying 38 vehicles. To everyone's surprise, the one item that withstood the impact was a Sunshine Kids Radian 65 car seat installed in the back seat of Sarah Maglione's now totaled vehicle. Not only did the Radian 65 survive unscathed, but it upheld the section of the car where it had been installed.
Astounded, Sarah Maglione said, "That thing did not bend an inch. They are built using steel alloy frames, and I always heard they were the strongest. Now I know it."
The Radian, by Sunshine Kids Juvenile Products, is constructed with an exclusive steel alloy frame for superior impact protection. Seven-inch-deep, high-impact-grade engineered sidewalls reinforced with EPS foam provide superior side impact protection, absorb crash energy, and protect the child from intrusions.
The Radian 65 is a convertible car seat built to protect children between 5 and 65 pounds. If you'd like a car seat that protects kids up to 80 pounds, the Radian 80 and Radian XT also use a steel alloy frame.
For convenience, all Radian car seats feature a narrow profile that fits well in even smaller vehicles. During transport, all Radian car seat fold in half for easy (if heavy) carrying.
