He’ll need at least a booster for years to come, and so will his brother. Our oldest son is 4, which means, his car seat expires in just ONE YEAR. The steel frame is, I think, what makes this car seat have a ten year “shelf life” – twice that of other car seats.Īnd three? The Diono goes from infant to booster for up to 120 pounds! Recently, we installed the Diono Radian ®RXT car seat, which I was really excited to try out for so many reasons.įirst, the steel alloy frame is unmatched for safety – the main reason I’ve wanted a Diono for years! Perhaps because they’re two topics that raise the most questions and have the most misconceptions.įor instance, despite so many warnings and articles about baby’s injured or dying from car seats perched atop shopping carts… I continue to see car seats precariously balanced atop shopping carts!! Unbelievable, right?Īnd… despite the 2011 rear-facing recommendations from the AAP to keep kids rear facing up to the limits of the car seat, I still hear parents say they turned their kids around simply because, “My kid didn’t like looking backwards.” Okay, okay, everyone makes their own choices but… I need more to go on than my 20-month-old’s preferences when it comes to safety.
But here I am!īecause if there’s two things I’m pretty passionate about when it comes to early parenting it’s breastfeeding and car seats. I know waking up on Monday morning to a rear facing car seats public safety announcement by yours truly isn’t what you’d expected. I received product in exchange for this post. This post about extended rear facing car seat safety is brought to you by Diono.
