Just not for us: my feedback

I really need a slim designed car seat to create space for an adult in the middle backseat. I ordered this so I could do so. I gotta say I am extremely let down by this car seat. I was shocked because I've heard rave reviews from Diono users. The steel structure is great but it is very heavy. So this is not for the faint hearted. It does fold nicely for storage or travel. That's good. But otherwise I was very displeased. My biggest complaint is that the carseat angle is NOT adjustable. When…

Pros
  • Made with high-quality materials for durability and longevity
Cons
  • The car seat may not be suitable for all weight ranges.

Slim, but not my choice for infants.

We got this for my 9 month old son to ride in my husband's '21 Ford Ranger truck. Now my kid is a pretty big kid, always in the 80=90th percentiles for weight and height. Despite that, the head rest doesn't come down enough to help cradle his head if he falls asleep in the seat. We have to use the included infant insert, which fits, but he's so snug in there, I can't imagine it's very comfortable. But it keeps his head from falling sideways off the car seat. We put the strap pads on as well to…

Pros
  • Includes an infant insert for newborns and younger babies
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough side impact protection.

looks good and modern

This is my 5th car seat that I got for my kids. I've bought another Diono carseat (different model from 2019) for my older son and I really liked it, I think it looks much better than other brands out there. What I like the most is that it's not as bulky as other car seat, it looks much slimmer and takes about 10% to 15% less space , since I have a mid-size SUV, this was a pretty important requirement, as we could still squeeze another skinny person into the back seat in between the Diono car…

Pros
  • REAR FACING FOR LONGER - Designed and engineered to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible up to 50 lb / 22.7 kg
Cons
  • The car seat is heavy and may be difficult to move from car to car.

Huge piece of junk: my feedback

This is the worst car seat I’ve ever seen in 9 years of parenting. The owner’s manual would be more useful as toilet paper. It leaves out huge chunks of instructions. You also need to tether this seat in rear facing in a way not available on the vast majority of cars. My husband and I have 3 college degrees between us, and we tried every way in the world to make this thing work. The answer is: it doesn’t. Don’t waste your money. But literally any other car seat.

Pros
  • Keeps your child secure and comfortable on long car rides
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough storage options for parents.

Tried To Love It good for me

This car seat came with great reviews and I liked the idea of a narrow fit. We have a Graco seat which we like except the sides come up so high it’s difficult to lift her and help her in. This car seat has no sides and sits down lower, which was perfect. I WANTED to love this. However it’s very poorly designed. It seems well constructed, heavy but the set up was more than frustrating. Very difficult to change the strap height or seat back height. Cup holder seems very cheap, I would expect it…

Pros
  • Comes with a limited lifetime warranty for added peace of mind
Cons
  • The car seat may not be suitable for all height ranges.

Super versatile car seat

This is a great car seat for most ages/sizes of kids. My son is 4 but very tall, and I was able to secure it using the seatbelt through the back channel. The straps are very adjustable and the seat secures nicely. He’ll outgrow the straps soon and then can just use the seatbelt. This is one of the only car seats you’d need to get which is fantastic because I hated buying so many different ones based on their ages/sizes. Love this brand - high quality and safe.

Pros
  • Adjustable head support for optimal comfort and safety
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough cushioning for some children.

Slim yet comfortable seat!

I didn't expect to have to assemble the car seat, but it was simple. Installation in the car was also very easy. We have enough room for an adult to sit in the backseat, if necessary.My daughter seems pretty comfy - she fell asleep on her first ride in the new car seat! I would definitely recommend this brand and buy it again if I ever need another car seat.

Pros
  • Provides ultimate safety and protection for your child
Cons
  • The car seat may not be suitable for taller or heavier children.

THE GOOD:--------------* 10 yr car seat.* Feels a bit lighter than previous Radian models, such as the RXT.* Steel core frame.* Straps and headrest are easier to adjust as well.* You get a cup holder.* The best feature of them all is the new latch design! I'm talking about the latches on the left and right side that clips onto the metal rings buried in your seats. We are coming from an older model of the RadianRXT from 2015. The latches were extremely difficult to deal with. This new latch…

Pros
  • Stylish pink blossom design adds a touch of fun and personality
Cons
  • The car seat may not be suitable for all age ranges.

It's not great: my feedback

I have had this booster for about 10 months. I like how strong it is. It's not cheap and flimsy( and it shouldn't be for that price) but I've noticed that the adjustable head rest keeps falling down. No matter what I do or how many times I adjust it, it doesn't stay up. My son needs it higher. So less than a year of use and I need to buy another seat because it's not safe if it's not at the right height.

Pros
  • INFANT HEAD SUPPORT LINER - Features padded support for added comfort. Simply remove as your infant transitions from rear-facing to forward facing booster seat
Cons
  • The infant insert may not be comfortable for all babies.

Difficult to get right, but happy with the end result

That was a frustrating install. I read a review on here from a mechanical engineer that made me laugh, and feel a little better too -- I'm also an engineer and this made me sweat. Took several attempts to make it nice and tight, and safe. The thing doesn't budge a bit. I actually ended up using the clips that hook onto the anchors in the seat, as well as the seatbelt to strap it down. Now that it's in, it's fantastic! Oh, I should mention I installed forward facing. My knees are no longer…

Pros
  • Features a five-point harness for added security
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough legroom for taller children.

Slim design but still plenty of room for a 4 year old.

Padding seems very comfortable, it fits easily in the middle seat of our F-150 (another car seat on one side and a teenager on the other). Definitely recommend for anyone needing to maximize space, I could easily fit another car seat if needed. I love the fact that you buy one car seat and your newborn or your young child can use it (transitions from rear facing to forward facing to booster).It’s on the heavier side but not the heaviest I’ve used in the last 12 years.Straps come completely out…

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to transport between vehicles
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough padding for younger children.

Honest review here.At the time we got this it was $269.00 and I find that to be a good value for such a diverse but safe car seat. Here are my thoughts,PROSRear facing for longer up to 50 lbs.Slim fit at only 17 inches wide so great if you need to use multiple car seats for kids across one seatsuitable for 5-120lbs.comfortableEasy to remove and wash the coverEasy to installHigh safety ratingHIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Pros
  • Significantly reduces the need to purchase multiple car seats over time
Cons
  • The car seat may not fit well in certain seating positions.

Space saver: my feedback

Great car seat for saving space, makes it much roomer for our kids sitting on either side. Like the safety feature and ease of installing. But like others have mentioned it’s very heavy and the cover is complicated to remove for washing

Pros
  • Adjustable recline angle for optimal comfort on long rides
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough safety certification guarantees.

Used product. best in my review

I bought the product, but upon arrival, I checked it and found that it was a used product, not a new product.There are traces of bonding the body and parts, and there are serious scratches that occurred in the process.It's really disappointing.I want to return it, but I can't return it because I have to use it urgently. It's embarrassing.

Pros
  • Offers a smooth and quiet ride for your child with its shock-absorbing foam
Cons
  • The car seat may not be suitable for parents with disabilities.

10 years, one car seat, heck yeah!

This is a super safe and comfortable car seat from birth to120 lbs! I love kids stuff like that. It's super comfortable at all ages and sizes, and it's easy to install and use. I love that this can be rear facing longer, up to 50 lbs, for added safety. It's also great for big families because you can get three of these in a good sized SUV easily!

Pros
  • Convertible
Cons
  • The car seat may be difficult to install properly.

Well made, space saving car seat

I’ve learned from experience that one car seat just isn’t enough. I prefer having one in my suv, one in my husband’s car and a third for emergencies (aka one needs washed) or when family wants to take my toddler somewhere. I ordered this seat to be the backup but it quickly earned a permanent spot in the car. It’s very well made and much heavier and more solid than I expected. It’s a beautiful bright blue that my son loves and the fabric is easy to clean. I adjusted it to fit my son prior to…

Pros
  • Passive buckle system ensures your child is buckled correctly every time
Cons
  • The car seat may not have enough ease-of-use features.
