Did anyone happen to catch this? It was on earlier today, but I only tuned in as they were finishing up.
I've had a look on the website and can't see anything about it yet, but will try again later on today.

Would be interesting to hear their recommendations

I've brought the Consumer report if you want a copy? PM Me your email addy and i'll flick it through.

They didnt include the Radian seat in the text group and pretty much all the ones they recommended are REALLY expensive which I thought was a bit mean - I.E one of the capsules was $900!!

Thanks that'd be awesome, will PM you now.

I'm just interested in what the mainstream media are out there promoting really, just being nosey.

$900 for a capsule!!!! Jeez, the emails they read out on the show now make a bit more sense. That is ridiculous

Hi Just double checked the comments about this report on the consumer website - of the 8 comments 4 are expressing surprise the Radian wasn't tested - and another was saying NONE of the recommended seats were in any of their local shops...

Makes you wonder what makes them choose the seats to include in testing.

Wow I can't believe there are capsules out there for $900.. that would have lasted my two maybe 3-4 months max.

and how long do people generally use capsuiles for 6-12 months...there is no way (evben if I had the money)I would even think about spending $900 on a capsule if I was going to spend that much on carseat Id get one that went from birth to booster.

as it is even my 2 radians cost me less than $900

Know what you mean bout the capsule - we've borrowed the one my sister used for her twins, and then we'll transfer to a Radian fairly quickly.

I thought the radian was expensive, BUT considering it'll last till when bubs no longer needs a seat they are WELL worth the price..... and still cheaper than others on the market

Yeah I read the consumer magazine report and the first thing I noticed was that they hadn't included the Radian - which I thought was pretty silly
