Wow! She's a tiny girl!!!! We're not used to that around here!

I had to backtrack a bit...I wouldn't consider this seat for your to be 1 year old--even though Graco says she can use it at 1. Rear facing is really important for as long as possible. I was thinking you were looking for something for your 4yo.
Take a look at the Truefit for your little one. It is a fantastic seat IMO. I haven't tried our Radian rear facing, so I can't say much about it for that purpose. A lot of people like the Evenflo Triumph Advance (EFTA), I was installing one yesterday with my cousin and the one thing that bugged me about it were the tabs that stick out at the top of the shoulder area of the harness. But other than that, it is really easy to work with and tends to be a bit less expensive than some of the other seats.
Check out Car-seat.org--they have amazing information and there's a deals section that talks about sales/fsot,etc. (the diaperswappers of carseats)
There is a Britax sale coming up in September if you want a Marathon (not my favorite seat, but most mommas love them.)

Thanks for the link I'm actually not sure if we will be buying my younger DD a new one or just putting her in the EB for now. She still fits within the size of the Safe Seat but I def need to upgrade. I really like the TrueFit but it kinda bugged that there were no cupholders. Not a super big deal but on those LONG car trips we take it makes it much easier to keep the kids happy. But yes, I was mainly looking for my older DD I actually wondered if anyone was going to read that and wonder if I was going to put my 8mo in it

I am so used to it now that with my DD2 being soooo big (95% height/weight) it is really strange to me. She is 8mo and wears 18mo clothes The great thing is that even though she is a big girl she sat before 5mo and crawled just at 7mo. Now she is criusing and sometimes stands alone when she forgets to be scared.

The TF DOES have a cup holder! I tried one out at Target, and it can be put on either side of the seat.

It's a sturdy cup holder too!

Awesome! The one I saw didn't have it on Guess someone got lazy when they put out the display model And yeah, I was too lazy to check the box I don't think I'd have room for one sticking off of the side when I have all 3 seats in....I will have to be sure to check it out now

At my Target, it was just sitting on the shelf to the side of the seat.

I always say I won't know what to do with these babies if they're smaller than average....or even average sized! As far as car seats go though, having tiny kids is awesome! I wish I could rear-face to 3 years and harness to 8!
