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.

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.

I was looking for a car seat for my sedan car that wouldn't be too big and this one is perfect. I did however have to buy the foam mat from Diono to put underneath because the person sitting in front couldn't sit without having their knees in their forehead. I am happy with my purchase and baby seems very comfortable in it he always falls asleep. Very compact and I will probably buy another one when second baby comes along. I have a Kia optima .

This purchase was to replace the one I bought a few months ago. We were in a pretty bad t-bone accident, my 6 year old walked away with no injuries. This seat supported him through the impact, the 360 the car did before it stopped, had no injuries. Couldn't have been more impressed with a car seat. It's comfortable, doesn't take up much room, and most importantly kept my child secured and safe. There was no hesitation purchasing the same car seat to replace the one that was in the accident. Highly recommend

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.

Perfect. Small but strong car seat! Compact but you can extend the seat to be more comfy. I don't drive and hated having clunky seats to carry around. This exceeded my expectations. My 3 year old loved his blue big boy seat. He calls it his Captain America seat. Walmart's pricing was a sweet deal to.

I love the slim look compare to the other car seats (Graco, Cosco) that I've purchased for my kids. Diono and other parents mentioned the steel frame being a safer choice. The seat is shorter so it's easier for my toddler to climb onto the chair by herself.

I love these Diono 3R car seats. This was our second time purchasing for our second child. If you aren't using it as a newborn seat, you don't need the higher end Diono models, so this is a great way to get all the benefits of these slick seats at a reasonable price. We love how they fold up for travel and aren't super bulky, it's easy to climb in and out of, our 2 year old does it herself. Walmart had a great deal on and free and fast shipping, very happy.

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 :)

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.
