This is a very sturdy car seat. It is also the only car seat that I have seen that folds for storage. It is great for small children but large enough for older children. My 7 year old even fits comfortably. It is a great seat that will last many years!

Love this brand of car seat. The safety aspect is why I went this brand, love that it’s narrow and you can fit 3 across. Cleaning this car seat is a breeze, the cover comes off for it to be washed. I have 2 of this exact one and then a high back booster of the same brand. Great quality car seats, easy to install, easy to clean. Highly recommend this brand to anyone with littles.

We bought 2 of these to fit in the backseat of our 2010 Toyota Camry. 1 rear facing, middle forward facing, next to infant (Uppababy Mesa) seat. Middle forward facing was the only way it would fit. Pro’s: slim, sturdy, easy for our kids to get into themselves, latch system is easy/works well. Good customer service from Diono. Our first one didn’t have the rear-facing piece in the box.Cons:* Very heavy!* Tall backside. Check your car seat manual whether a car seat is allowed to touch/rest against the front seat (if rear facing). Now having moved one to the middle back seat (forward facing) on our Honda Odyssey, it sits higher and blocks the rearview a bit. Wasn’t an issue in the Camry.No cupholders- fine, since that wouldn’t fit anyway.Not as much padding, so perhaps less comfortable, but both our kids are fine in them.Overal conclusion: great car seat if you have a tight back seat!

My daughter is 42inches, 36lbs- 5 years old pictured here.We bought this car seat with the idea that i wanted a slim durable seat that my daughter could grow in to and have for a long period of time.Pros: • Narrow design, great for tight spaces • Comfortable without the need for extra padding • Minimalistic but feels very secure • Steel frame provides added safetyCons: • Quite heavy, not ideal for travel • Tall and wide when rear-facing, limits front seat adjustment (not pictured here) • Adjusting the shoulder height requires uninstalling the seat, which is inconvenient • Not versatile for use with multiple kids due to the need for frequent rethreading of the harnessOverall, it’s a solid choice for safety and comfort but better suited for a dedicated setup rather than frequent switching or travel.

The Diono Radian 3R car seat is a fantastic investment! It offers exceptional safety, comfort, and longevity. With its versatile design and easy installation, it grows with your child. Plus, the removable covers make cleanup a breeze. Highly recommend!It is kinda heavy to lug around so it’s best to not move it much.

I switched from Graco to this one once my child moved to forward facing, but that wasn't my plan. I initially bought this as my airport/travel chair, but when it arrived and I felt how heavy it was, that was out but I decided to not return it and I'm so glad I didn't. My child is long and I felt she looked cramped in Graco. So when I changed her position, I took the Diono to the fire department to install (if you don't know, they do this for free) and they said that Diono was the creme de la creme, the best in safety. They said the weight adds value. They installed it SO TIGHT, that I feel soooo secure in the event of an accident that the baby will be alright. They said it's a bit difficult to install, but it was worth the work. It is the last seat I'll buy bc it lasts until 120lbs. It's slim in the car. I'm so pleased and the color is cute!!

Ocupas ser un Ingeniero Aeronautico o automotriz para Instalarlo. Es demasiado Dificil su instalación. Pero brinda buena protección al BB

We absolutely love our Diono Radian 3R! It's been a fantastic car seat for our child, lasting from infancy all the way to booster use. Here's why it gets 5 stars:Space-Saving Design: This car seat is a dream for tight spaces. Its slim design allows us to fit 3 car seats across our mid-size car, perfect for families with multiple children.Long-Lasting Value: This car seat truly grows with your child. It transitions seamlessly from rear-facing for newborns (up to 50 lbs) to forward-facing (up to 100 lbs) and then to a booster seat (up to 120 lbs). It's a one-time investment that lasts for years.Comfort & Safety: Our child finds the Radian 3R very comfortable, with breathable fabric and a well-padded design. Plus, Diono's safety record and features like the steel-reinforced frame give us peace of mind.Easy to Use: Installation with SuperLatch was a breeze, and switching between rear-facing and forward-facing is simple. The harness is easy to adjust and the removable cup holders are a convenient touch.Easy to Clean: The Diono Radian 3R's machine-washable fabrics make cleaning up spills and messes a breeze.If you're looking for a convertible car seat that's safe, space-saving, comfortable, and built to last, the Diono Radian 3R is an excellent choice!

We bought these specifically for their narrow size for aeroplane travel with our kids (3, 5).They fold nicely and can sit on top of your luggage. We used a small crank tie to attach it to our carryon as it is awkward and a bit heavy to carry on a long walk through an airport terminal.But it fits nicely in aeroplane seats, they are very quick and easy to install in both cars and planes. The pull strap to secure your child is a lot easier to use than other car seats we have used.These are a bit pricey, but are absolutely worth the cost.

We have two of these carseats now and absolutely love them. They are slim and provide a lot of room for both the child using the carseat and the person sitting next to the car seat. I love how these carseats feel open and not so enclosed for the child.The car seat itself is very easy to install correctly and the cover is easily removable and reattachable for easy cleaning. The padding is great and it feels really secure and has great stability. Overall great quality.The only thing I wish that was different, is i wish these came with at least one cup holder. These are the only carseats I love to use for forward facing kids!
