Consumer Reviews

So initially off this is a substantial bag that fits the Radian 120 like a glove. The fit on the width and height is perfect, there is a bit additional on the depth at the leading but this leaves you enough room to shove the rear facing booster and a jacket in if needed.
The supplies are particularly thick with firm foam padding in select areas. Inside there are three skinny pockets that will let you stash the shoulder straps at check-in. Once more this is heavy luggage fabric not fitness center bag fabric. Right after a single trip with the bag as checked luggage there are no signs of wear. I count on that this bag will last as extended as the seat.
Now for the two difficulties. All the images on the packaging show two compression straps on the top sides of the bag and metal attachment points for the shoulder straps on the 4 corners and the middle top rated position. This should permit you to use two straps with the low side and high center attachment points as a backpack. Or use one particular strap with the two points on either side and carry it as a shoulder bag. What you essentially get is a bag devoid of the compression straps and missing 1 of the high side mount points. This causes the following complications.
The lack of compression straps feels like it allows the top rated of the seat to fall away from your back in backpack mode, this tends to make it less comfy to carry then a superior backpack. I will say that compression straps may perhaps not assist this a lot as the bag is a quite snug fit to the seat currently. And that i really feel like loose straps are asking to get ripped off in airline baggage handling. So if this was the only dilemma I would be giving it five stars.
But the massive issue is the only set of side attachment points is on the opposite side from the grab carry deal with on the bag. So when you take the bag off your shoulder you have nothing on the best side to pick the bag up except the lengthy shoulder strap. There is a good padded grab deal with but it really is on the bottom and is sitting on the ground at this point. This is certainly basic and obvious trouble that should really have been apparent to the designers the instant they saw the first prototype.
Update: I emailed Diono customer help the very same comments in this review and got a prompt reply thanking me for my feedback--which they passed on to the item manager--and included his responses. He stated the packaging image was incorrect and changed soon after the start off of production. Also that the compression straps were for one other use and they in no way appeared on a shipping bag. He also commented that modifying the shoulder strap to the identical side was a excellent concept and would be investigated for future models.
They also offered to replace my bag but stated the replacement would likely be the same as the a single i have. I declined the supply.
+1 star for outstanding consumer service.

The pros about this bag are restricted The seat slides in easily.
Cons:
Shoulder straps are too long and awkwardly placed, so it is impossible to get a comfortable fitin either the "backpack" or "shoulder strap" configuration.
Bag ripped near the insertion for the shoulder strap right after 30 minutes of use. Stitching is not robust sufficient to support the pretty heavy car seat it was developed to hold.
We will be returning this item.
