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.

We bought this for our grandchild who is 31/2 and 32lbs. She likes the seat and we think it is well made, sturdy and was straightforward to install. We would recommend it. The only reason we gave it 4 and not 5 stars is the dexterity you need to deal with doing up the harness buckle. It appears that most seat designs don't consider grandparents and the fact that arthritis and hand strength make it difficult and painful to do up the multipoint harness.

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

It's sleek but very sturdy and heavy. Beautiful and great quality car seat. We bought 3 for our kids and they all fit in a row in our sedan. The only downside I can say is that the car seat will not stand on its own, which makes it hard to clean when we take it out of the car.

It's great for toddlers that are bigger in size.

Love the diono 3r carseat bought it for my 7 month old.

3 fit perfectly in a jeep gladiator!

It's a sturdy seat that fit 3 across

Awesome, sturdy seat. Fits great 3 across

I love that it is narrow and safe
