Comfy carseat for a tall baby?

[yippiehippie]

Oh, I'm dreading researching carseats again, I'd like a starting point. Can I get some recommendations on a seat for my 8mo old? He's tall, ave wt and we currently have a britax (comfy). He's recently started hating being in it unless sleepy, so I want something good for sleeping, but maybe something he can still easily see out of? The only one I'm thinking now is the Radian since I know it's tall and safe. Money is not a huge issue since it will be a gift from parents (thank goodness!)

Radians are comfy, though hard to install RF in some vehicles, and impossible in others.  The problem is that it can be very difficult to get it at a more upright angle than 45*, which makes it take up TONS of room front-to-back, sometimes making the front passenger seat unusable.   What kind of car will the Radian be in?  We have one and DS is quite comfy in it.  In our CR-V, I'm hard pressed to get it more upright than 45*, but in our smaller Corolla, it's super easy to get it at a 30* angle, leaving me lots of room up front!

The True Fit is also very plush and has a very tall shell.  It's easier to install at a more upright angle than the Radian, which is a huge plus.

The Complete Air is not quite as plush, but are also great for tall babies, since they have the tallest shells of all (just a hair taller than the Radian).  They are also very easy to install at a more upright angle.

Since each of these three seats has a super tall shell, any one of them is likely to keep your son RF until 3+ and FF until boostering age.

Is the RF angling a problem in the CRV bc the seat depth? If that's the case I might have an issue there, I have a pilot and the seats are not deep. Also, he does not like laying on his back so I was hoping for something more upright (and as stated, that saves room, too). The truefit does sound appealing. hmmm....
