Convertible car seats: Diono Radian RXT or Recaro Proride?

[JanChristian]

It's time to move up to a convertible seat and so far we're leaning toward the Diono Radian RXT and Recaro Proride. Have any of you used either of these? How's the fit in the Explorer?

I have a Britax Marathon 70 in my bucket seats and it fits perfect. We never rear faced in my Explorer, but don't think it would've been an issue!

I have a Diono, not an RXT though. I took it out to load something. Will put it back in and take a pic for you a little later, but it's forward facing. I'm going to replacing it with a Diono Monterrey booster seat soon for my 3.5 year old. Not much room in the back seat for a Diono rear facing as they are very tall. I have a Truefit for rear facing, highly recommend them.
