The car seat is excellent. I do think the manufacturers should do a better job informing the buyers though that the instruction Manuel is folded/tucked into the side of the seat though. I had to watch a YouTube tutorial to figure that one out. The price is excellent on Walmart as it is a good 100$ more on other websites.

Best car seats for 3 in a row! I love this Diono carseat for multiple children in car seats. The install was easy and fits great for my 11 month old. The bucket infant seats were just getting too heavy for my chubby boy so we upgraded to this and it's so much easier on my back

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I did a lot of searching for the next stage car seat and settled on the Diono Radian. We have a small car and a younger child as well so size was a factor. This seat is slim but super comfy for our son. I ended up having to install with the seatbelt instead of the click latches because I couldn't get the tether tight enough. I like that it's super easy to pop the child into the seat instead of having to lift them over high sides of larger convertible seats or cup holders/arm rests. Super easy to tighten belt. Would buy again.

Love that it's a slim car seat for my VW Golf, haven't used it rear facing so can't comment on that, but forward face setup was easy, as long as you follow the manual. I love that the base folds up if you are travelling with it. Downside is it's heavy, however that's due to the reinforced steel so I mean the weight is to be expected. Easy to get my daughter in and out, the straps tighten with no catching, car seat doesn't move when I tighten her up. Comes with little shoulder pads so her neck doesn't get cut up. Got it on sale, so I really feel I won the jackpot with this car seat.

Good quality, sturdy, easy install. Fit in my vw golf and our 1500 gm truck which both have a narrow seat base. Couldn't find instruction manual until the end of install it is in the seat under the fabric. Worth every penny, used other brands before selecting this one. Very happy with purchase.

This is awesome and makes it easy to fit three across in my little car! My son s forward facing but if it were used rear facing in a small car I reckon whoever was sitting in front of it would have their knees in the dash lol Got one for my car and one for dads

Not one to do reviews however how could I not with this? I Have had this car seat for a month and a half now, I love it! Sooo easy to install with the latches it has, I've never seen anything like them! It has a pocket on the inside lining of the cover where the manual stays which is probably my favorite feature. It's slim like I needed. Honestly the only downfall would probably be it is quite heavy but I don't travel outside of my car so it's not an issue for me! I needed something slimmer than what I had and honestly this is worth every penny! Plus my kiddo loves it and is more than comfy! Also it has all of the strap covers and buckle covers to keep baby's skin happy and not pinched. I truly love this diono car seat and am glad I talked myself into spending the money on it!

This car seat feels very well made and sturdy. The back is very tall and does not adjust, which would not be a problem for forward facing. For rear facing, the tall make makes it a little awkward in the car. Overall, I would recommend this carseat, especially if you drive a vehicle with more foot area room to accommodate the tall back for rear facing.

I bought this seat for my 5 year old to transition into a booster once he reaches the appropriate weight. I love that it is a car seat / booster seat. It's sleek and sturdy. Very well made. Unlike other wide car seats, this one is very slim and can fit into a tighter fitting seats. Overall, highly recommend it :)

This is a nice car seat I like the slim compact fit in the vehicle, it secure very well in the vehicle and have little movement. I would have give this 5 stars but it does not have a place for a cup holder or place for the kids to put a snack while in the car and car seat.
