Advocate 70 vs Frontier 85 for short toddler
288863
I have both...I have a 6 year old, a 3 year old and a 6 month old. I purchased the newer frontiers for my oldest children and an advocate for my youngest because he's heavy and I knew he would outgrow his infant carrier a lot sooner than expected. I noticed that my 3 year old was struggling to sleep in her frontier on a 12 hour car ride so we pulled over and gave her the advocate and placed my then 4 month old back into his infant carrier and base (luckily it was still in the back of my van) and she passed out within minutes. I find the smaller children still aren't ready to nap in the frontier without looking completely uncomfortable and leaning forward constantly...I've seen purchased another advocate for my son since his sister took his. Hope that helps.

We have the 10 inch one and it is great for kids and adults. I think the bigger one would be harder for little.

If your child is nearing the 40lb mark you will have to install the seat with the seat belt. The Frontier 85 is complicated to install with the seat belt (I've done it) whereas the Frontier 90 is THE easiest seat to install ever. look up you tube videos on both the seats, you'll see what i mean.

Go with Ergo or Boba. It will be more comfortable for both baby and wearer. Those two are very adjustable and also have extenders for bigger wearers.

I don't have the SICT for the 85, but do have the Frontier 85. While I love them both, the 90 has the new click tight system that can install the car seat with the seat belt vs. latch which is important if you your child is over 40lbs. It's also nice when you have a seat that is often moved (which our 90 is) because I can uninstall and re-install in under 5 minutes and it's very secure.

I never owned the Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer and Stroll Trike, but from looking at it as compared to the 4-in-1 it looks like the differences are the 4-in-1 has a 3 point harness and removable wrap around tray. It all depends on how much control you feel your toddler has sitting upright and holding on. If you feel your toddler has already passed the stage where they would have any use for that than you could really choose either, it's just your preference. If it were me and I knew I was planning on having another child than I would get the 4 in 1, but as I said before if your toddler has complete control of his upper body sitting in the seat then it is really just which ever you prefer. It is a really solid trike and I have been very happy with it.

Definitely go with the 300. Our 11y/o has been using it for one year. Our 9 y/o is no longer happy with the 200 and wants the 300, he says he can't keep up with his brother..

I have both. I *LOVE* both. I say if you need room, go with Radian, If you have the room and your child has outgrown the 45lb weight limit or nearing it to RF in the Radian, go with Britax (Frontier 90) Both HIGHLY HIGHLY rated for safety and overall so either one is great. Radian over Frontier: - Child is less than 3-4yrs old. - Child is below 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF) - If you need more room - If you plan on flying Frontier over Radian: - Child is over 3-4yrs old. - Child is at or near the 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF) - If your child is on the "bigger" side

To be honest, my son is very young and cant fully use it. I figured when he does start using it more, he would be up to date. I would say for the price difference, the 2 prob. Would be smarter. Leap frog has such great products, I am sure the 2 is packed with great stuff and a lot less $.

My 5 year old is 42 in and we went with the 14 in. Which was perfect. With the seat in the lowest setting she is still about 1/2 an inch from having her feet flat on the ground. She should be able to ride the 14 in for another 2 years I'd say. It's tempting to go with the larger size since they can use it longer, but a bigger/heavier bike is more difficult to learn to ride on if your kid is still learning to ride w/o training wheels. Im very happy I went with the 14 in

I would suggest getting the 40 to 70, to be in the center of its design range. I have a 50" on the 32 to 60 model though, and it supports it with room to spare!

Go with the 300! I believe it goes faster than the 200. I bought mine for my 8y/o and 11y/o boys. Glad I got the faster ones! I use them too - super fun!!

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

I am not certain if this would be satisfactory for a 70lb child. It is small for a toddler/youngster of average weight (probably up to about 50lb). The diameter is not small and the elastic floor might extend too low for fun. The perimeter with the yellow band in the middle extend inward as a handle when toddler/youngsters are beginners and want to hold on. I don't remember the manufacturer's suggestion of a weight so you might want to check this item.

The lowPro 170 adventura I think would be a better choice.Has much more space for less money at amazon for $23.50
