This car seat is made of steel frame that's crash tested at almost 2x the force of a standard crash test. It arrives folded up for easy transportation (the car seat folds flat). The car seat does come with straps so that you could carry it on your back -- this is so that you could use this car seat on the planes while you are traveling with your kids. I tried it and I must admit that the car seat was heavier than I expected so my husband will be carrying the car seat during our next trip for sure ;).
This car seat can be used with infants at the rear-facing position from 5 to 45 lbs.
It can also be used in the forward facing position from 20 to 80 lbs and finally as a booster seat to 120 lb. I think it is pretty amazing that a car seat could basically be used for years as your child grows. For me, because my kids are typically taller and bigger than other kids their age, having a car seat such as this one is truly ideal.
Since DD is already using the Monterey booster seat by the same company, we tested out the RadianRXT Car Seat with baby G. Because he is only 10 months old and weights less than 45lbs, the car seat needed to be in a rear-facing position. In order to set it up, I had to installed the base first.
Once I pushed the base into place, I just locked the base in by sliding this piece of metal down. As I was installing this, I realized that if you find it hard the slide the metal piece, that means that the base is not push all of the way in. You should be able to lock the base to the car seat without any difficulties.
Although this is the car seat baby G has been using the past month, I took it out to take better photos for you to see. Here's car seat without the infant/toddler insert.
The car seat with the infant/toddler insert.
Here's baby G in his awesome new car seat!
As you can see from the photo, my little guy is pretty big for an infant of 10 months old. From his doctor's visits, we have learned that he had been either off the chart in height or at the 99 percentile . Yes, that is right, my little guy is actually a giant amongst his peers.
What I really like about the Diono RadianRXT Car Seat is that it is designed for big and tall kids like mine are. Baby G is able to sit in his car seat comfortably and most importantly, I have a peace of mind knowing that he is in a car seat that will offer him the necessary protection in case of an accident -- it comes with reinforced side impact system . The car seat comes with a latch system that I am able to use even in rear facing position. If you are using this car seat with an older child, you could remove the back piece to turn it into a backless booster seat. This car seat also comes with 1 cup holder. You can add up to 4 cup holders per car seat (I am not sure why any child needs that many cup holders, lol, but if that's something you would like to have, then you do have the option to buy more cup holders from the company.)
All in all, we love this car seat. We like that even though we have a big baby, he is able to sit in the Diono RadianRXT Car Seat comfortably. We also like that it could be use for kids from 5 lbs to 120 lbs, so it is a car seat that we could use for years to come. This car seat retails for $339.99. For the usage one could get out of it, we thought it was well worth the retail price. To buy one, please visit the Diono website to locate a retailer.
Many thanks to Diono. The company has generously offered 1 RadianRXT Car Seat as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers. This giveaway ends on Feb 3, 2012.
