Diono Radian 3RXT SafePlus, 4-In-1 Convertible Car Seat, Rear And Forward Facing, SafePlus Engineering, 3 Stage Infant Protection, 10 Years 1 Car Seat, Slim Fit 3 Across, Black Jet Review

Unfortunately we have been very unhappy with this car seat. We are 4 months into using it and we have only gotten more and more frustrated. Where to begin?1. It is difficult to cinch the latch system down. The tightening buckle jams against the car seat and so we simply can't tighten it as much as it should be tightened.2. We have a compact SUV and a minivan (not small cars) and in both vehicles it jams against the seat in front. Maybe a good thing considering that the latch system doesn't…

This car seat is amazing! It's mom/dad friendly, easy to install, unique colors, no bulky oversized extra car seat taking up precious backseat space ect. I could probably name 15 more things I love about this sear. Honestly. My only wish was that I had done my research and dug a little deeper to find this gem before I purchased multiple other brands only to find them bigger, bulkier, and not nearly user friendly as this one! Coming from a mom of 2u2 this seat is a must have!

Overall the car seat is great. However, if you’re looking to rear face, it’s not ideal for legroom unless you have a large suv. In my 4Runner, it cannot go anywhere except the middle without front seats being pushed completely forward. That being said, the middle spot is PERFECT in my vehicle and because the seat is so slim (width wise) both passenger and drive can adjust their seats to personal liking. Super happy with the seat. It will be great forward facing once we make it to that stage.

This is the 6th car seat we’ve owned and the ONLY one that caused me to sweat BEFORE even getting it in the car. I couldn’t find the manual…turns out it’s in a pocket in the cover on one of the sides (pic of a book printed on the cover) FYI cuz I didn’t find it til after I had already googled. To raise the headrest it says to just lift up…yaaaa it doesn’t say after you unclip and take off half the cover. So with these two tips ahead it woulda been 5 stars! Also max height of child for harness…

My 10 month old loves it. We’ve had it for few months. I will be traveling and use it in another country too since it folds up and there is a strap you can buy for it. My youngest sleeps so well in it, the way the strap holds her face while she sleeps is great. That’s worth the price to see her comfy and her head being stable when I turn a corner. Plenty of leg room rear facing too compared to the one I have in my husbands truck. This is my second diono. I will buy more for our 3rd vehicle…

You can tell it’s high quality and it’s slim enough to fit between my twins’ britax one4life seats in my Jeep Wrangler so we will keep it but my son who is 6 and average height, thin build complains that the seat belt straps hurt his neck and the bottom of his legs rub on the hard plastic which is kinda sharp, not comfy for summer when wearing shorts. He misses his britax grow with me 5 point booster but it’s too wide for the jeep.

First off, the safety features of this car seat are wonderful, and I really REALLY wanted to love it, but there were a few issues that we couldn’t get over. To begin, the seat is "memory foam” on the bottom, but for someone who lives in the cold of North Dakota for half the year the foam would become rigid and my 4-year-old was extremely uncomfortable sitting on it. Another issue that I, personally, couldn’t get over was the fact that if (and when, since we’re taking about kids here) the seat…

I was afraid to buy it because so many people said it was hard to set up and it is heavy. Some said it was uncomfortable for their child. I have zero complaints. My daughter was growing out of her Brita car seat and I had another baby coming so it was perfect timing to transition her to a big seat. I was afraid she would be mad that the baby was in her old car seat (she loved that seat, anytime I brought it in the house she would sit in it and fall asleep!) but I bought the red Diano which is…

Overall we like the car seat. Installation was super complicated for us. I was disappointed that Diono doesn’t include a manual in the box. You follow minimal instructions on the car seat itself. Days later I found a QR code on the box that I can scan to open the manual online. Initially when installing no where told me to use the anchor that attaches to the top back part of the car seat. I had to do lots of video searching to finally find someone installing using that. Our car seat seemed like

LIKE MANY OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE SAID, Diono has changed their seatbelt release latch, and basically made it impossible for the kid to remove his own seatbelt. Secondly, and this was even true earlier on, it's super difficult to fully tighten a belt. It gets stuck as you tighten, and you can feel there's still a gap but you can barely pull anymore. Tightening it up to where it's safe is like wrestling a bear. The only reason I went for the 3rd one is because I already have 2 and I wanted all

Diono car seats are heavy and expensive for a reason. We were in a roll over car accident before Thanksgiving. Both kiddos were strapped in their Diono seats. My 2.5 year was in the 3RXT. Not even a scratch! He was nestled in the car seat. Side air bags went off and the headrest offered protection for his head. Thank you Diono for making such a wonderful products.No damage to the seat what so ever! Due to manufacture instructions, the car seat needed to be replaced regards if the seat looks…

Heavy duty car seat, perfect for small cars especially if you have to go three across. A little tricky to install but if you look behind the seats cover you will find the manual.

I bought this car seat for my son that is 6. This car seat places your child further back to the back seat allowing your child legs to hang as if they were sitting in a normal sitting position in the car. I love the shoulder/lap harness and easy to adjust at any given time. Also folds up for easy storage.

Overall the car seat looks really awesome and sturdy. My 2 year old fits perfect in there. Love the design and sporty it looks. Only thing is that it came ripped on one side and I have no idea how to put the cup holder. Instructions are vague. Car seat overall came already assembled just had to undo one strap.

These seats look and feel like an upgrade from any other car seat. They are classy and sturdy with a feel of old school construction. Even their weight let’s you know that your most precious cargo is safe.

This is the third Diono seat we own and the fourth car seat we own (I am the father of 3 young children; the other seat is a Graco). I trust that this product would protect my child in a crash, and that's certainly the most important aspect of a car seat. But, we have three issues with this seat: 1. Hard to install. 2. Difficult to loosen the straps. 3. Uncomfortable for my children. 1. Hard to Install: I routinely switch all of our seats between two cars four times per year to accommodate our…

This is our second diono. We bought the 2019 3 rxt for my wife's car while I still used the infant carrier for a little while. ( Our daughter was still in the weight specs so it worked a for a bit) Now that she's growing and getting bigger it was time for me to upgrade as well.This car seat is as great and easy to install as our previous one. I did have to use the angle adjuster for my corolla as it is smaller than my wife's accord but it went in great with that and we're set to enjoy…

We bought a Radian RXT in 2018 for our second child and loved it. It is easily the most secure car seat I have ever strapped my kid into, and we have owned a lot of Graco and installed in several different models and types of car. Also the easiest install, I've fought for more than 30 minutes in my mom's Ford Explorer with Graco and wanted to set the car on fire afterward for her making me move it over in 105 degree Texas weather. It is heavy, but I install mine and won't move it for any force…

We purchased this to place in the spare car just in case we decide taking it with the little one. On the handful of trips we’ve taken thus far it’s been great. Plenty of leg room and she seems to be less fussy !

I love Diono but hated how hard it was to put the cover back on. Love this car seat a great replacement. I have three now! If only it came in mustard!
