SUMNER, WA – July 8, 2009 – Last week’s freak collapse of the five-story Centergy parking deck in Midtown Atlanta left onlookers, bystanders and victims alike stricken with awe as it was revealed that not a single person was harmed in the crumble that damaged or destroyed a total of 38 vehicles.
But for Sarah Maglione, whose vehicle was among those destroyed, the spectacle had only just begun. Her SUV was parked on the structure’s second level when the incident occurred; it was the thirtieth vehicle pulled from the wreckage. “I had three floors of a parking garage collapse on top of my car,” Maglione said. “It is flattened beyond belief.”
The particular that astounded her further: the fact that her child’s car seat, a Sunshine Kids Radian65 positioned on the passenger side of the back seat in her SUV, completely withstood the force of the collapse and upheld its section of the car, as well.
“Amazing,” Maglione said. “That thing did not bend an inch,” referring to her Radian65 car seat. “They are built using steel alloy frames, and I always heard they were the strongest. Now I know it.”
Radian®, by Sunshine Kids Juvenile Products, is constructed with an exclusive steel alloy frame for superior impact protection. Seven-inch-deep, high-impact-grade engineered sidewalls reinforced with EPS foam provide superior side impact protection, absorb crash energy and protect the child from intrusions making it the strongest car seat available. Radian is a convertible car seat built to protect children between 5 and 65 pounds.
The Radian® car seat line is available through independent juvenile stores across the US and Canada, as well as the Sunshine Kids Juvenile Products web site (www.skjp.com).
Sunshine Kids Juvenile Products is the manufacturer of more than 80 innovative juvenile products, including car seats, storage solutions, and related travel and stroller accessories, designed to facilitate today’s on-the-go family lifestyle and assure the maximum in safety protection.

What an amazing story. I am so glad I have a Radian 80 in my car. I knew if you carried it at Bellani it would be the best, and the fact that you installed in safely in my car makes it even better. Great piece of mind. Thanks guys!
That’s so mindblowing…but very reassuring that those seats are the best!
Thanks for the information. We are in the process of getting our daughter out of the bucket and doing some research on a car seat we would like. The Radian’s will be on our list of ones to look at.
Those pictures makes me rethink what my children are sitting in. I’m planning on swinging by the store this weekend to look at the Radian. Thanks for the information.
Wow…pictures do say a thousand words. Amazing no one was hurt. Happy I have a Radian XT.
I understand everyone’s concern, however do you think the cost justifies the chance of you getting into an accident that bad, or a parking garage collapsing?
One more reason for me to love the seat Chloe sits in. It will be coming to FL with us in November as well.
Believe it or not, celebrity moms also have to wade through a lot of stuff to find the ones that will look adorable on their tiny tots. But you have the benefit of getting everything ready and handpicked to make your bundle of joy the envy of all.
