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!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Wow I can't believe there are capsules out there for $900.. that would have lasted my two maybe 3-4 months max. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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
