I am wondering if the head support offered with the 3RXT is worth the spend? Does it make a real difference or if I go with the 3R or 3RX, I can have my mind at ease? I can’t decide!

It really is helpful to have those extra side wings – I personally would recommend the upgrade.

yes, those side wings are nice. SO helpful for sleeping babes… which they always are! haha. I have two rxt’s and was just having the debate with myself the Radian R would suffice for my oldest instead of the RXT, and I opted for the upgrade. it’ll make a big diff for the long road trips I think.
