Consumer Critiques

Diono RadianR100 is a awesome automobile seat for those who are looking for a automobile seat that will develop with your youngster from five to 100 lbs. We personal the Diono RadianRXT, DionoR100, and the Graco Nautilus three-in-1, and would have to say that the Diono is our preferred auto seat for traveling purposes, but our second favorite vehicle seat for everyday use (primarily simply because the children like the Graco cup holders and armrests - extra on that below). There are quite a few issues about this auto seat that we really like:
1. It really is hassle-free to set up and install. Even though I did want the instruction manual to figure lots of of the many components and how to fully assemble the seat, the instructions had been clear and the seat took no longer than 15 minutes for me to get set up in property, then one more 15 minutes to get it installed into our vehicles. I did not include things like the unpacking time for the vehicle seat from the box - that is just silly.
2. The Superlatch system is brilliant. With the Graco latch process, you have to shove your fingers into the seat in order to really feel the latch program bar, then youhave to push down on the clip to install the latch program, and then potentially pinch your fingers mainly because the clip. When you remove the clip, you have to shove your fingers back into the seat, really feel about the evil finger pinching clip, squeeze the clip and potentially pinch your fingers once again! With the Superlatch, you just shove the candy bar shaped bar onto the latch in the vehicle until you hear a click. To remove, you push a button the top rated of the Superlatch, then pull out. This is awesome of epic proportions.
three. The Dionos are amazingly slim. You really could fit 3 of these seats in the backseat of your automobile. We have a 2009 Honda Odyssey and a 2006 Honda Accord and three of these seats would fit in the back if we genuinely wanted to. We chose to install the R100 in our Accord along with the RXT, and there's enough area for each our youngsters to sit back there with our papillon dog in the middle.
4. Although we got this auto seat a little late for this purpose, the Diono enables for backward facing infants. It comes with head and side supports, as properly as a sizeable plastic piece to install below the automobile seat so it really is inclined back for an infant to lie down in. This is great for parents who want to purchase one particular vehicle seat, and one particular automobile seat only to use for their kid. This might be a con for some parents, as a great number of parents like having the infant car seats to quickly eliminate a sleeping infant from the car without having getting to unbelt them and potentially waking them up.
five. The point we appreciate about the Diono Series the most is the convenience of the Diono when traveling by airplane. This auto seat actually folds down compactly, has places on the back for all the components to clip to, has the instructional manual literally tied to the seat, and comes with backpack style straps. My husband or I can carry it by way of an airport as easily as a different piece of luggage, as it is not as cumbersome to lug around as conventional car seats. It's thin and folds down low adequate to go through x-ray machines, and not terribly difficult to set up in airline seats. This is almost certainly the very best point about the seat.
That mentioned, here are the elements of the seat that we did not especially like.
1. Set up of the seat is not rather intuitive. The Graco Nautilus three-in-1 is substantially far more intuitive to figure out. I could conveniently remember how to break down the seat and assemble it without having having to consult with the instructional manual. With the Diono RadianR100, I normally have to refer to the manual in order to break down and stow the a large number of pieces. I am guessing this is because it does break down significantly a lot more compactly than the Graco, as nicely as has all those unique clips to stow the straps for traveling. The instruction manual also does not retailer well into the seat as the Graco - it is basically shoved behind the fabric of the automobile seat. If not place in properly, you can really feel the manual via the fabric.
2. The cup holder is poorly developed. There is a single tube of plastic that is keeping the cup holder stuck in the armrest flap of the vehicle seat. My youngsters can pull out the cup holder, as it does not genuinely stay in really nicely. We decided to not even use it with our car seat.
3. The fabric of the RadianR100 is not as comfy as the Graco three-in-1. The fabric and cushioning is thin in comparison, and we had been able to feel some of the hidden straps underneath the fabric. We have not had to wash the car seat fabric just yet and I will update my assessment with the situation of the fabric following a few washes, if it can be removed readily.
four. The armrests are practically nonexistent. If it wasn't mentioned in the manual, I would have guessed that there were no armrests on this vehicle seat. My children didn't assume there had been armrests on the seats, either.
In comparison to the Diono RXT, the RXT is a slightly superior acquire, but not by substantially. The fabric in comparison, is much far better than the R100. It not only feels much better, but it looks a lot nicer than the R100. The RXT also comes with the extra cup holder, a shoulder carrying strap, the infant head and side positioners, as well as head side impact cushions. The structure of the R100 and RXT is pretty considerably the very same, though the RXT does assistance 20 lbs way more than the R100. How considerably this tends to make a difference seriously depends on the weigh and height of your kid, as nicely as the auto seat laws in your state. I truly don't think several youngsters will be riding in a vehicle seat up to 120 lbs...I could be incorrect, although.
In comparison to the Graco Nautilus, R100 is substantially even more compact, but is additional hard to assemble/break down for cleaning. My children believe the Graco fabric and cushioning is much more comfy, and like the cup holder and arm rests far better on the Graco. However, they do like that fact that the R100 is a lot easier to get into by themselves, basically for the reason that of the lack of armrests. The R100 fits much greater than the Gracos in compact vehicles.
All in all, I feel that the Diono R100 is a great automobile seat. It feels solid, looks superb, and is comfortable for our youngsters. Highly advised!

This is my 3rd Radian and I've loved them all. My youngsters are all comfy in them and range in age from 1 to 7. My 7 year old is nonetheless in the harness and does not complain that he isn't making use of as a booster and is very pleased with his new seat (it has substantially much more room, particularly his legs). And I love that the Radian makes it attainable for me to fit all three kids safely in the back of my Highlander.
