If you haven’t heard of the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat, you are in for a treat! This is one spectacular car seat. When my grandson was born a year ago this month I wanted my son and daughter-in-law to have this car seat so they would not have to purchase another one. Since that didn’t happen luckily they received an infant car seat for Zakary’s baby shower. So when it was approaching his first birthday I was on the hunt once again for a car seat.
What I love about this Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat.
- First off this car seat will start your baby off from the moment you leave the hospital (or for their first car ride if you don’t use the hospital).
- Don’t let the size fool you, this car seat fits comfortably rear-facing children from 5-45 lbs in your vehicle. This way you can decide how long you want them rear-facing. It won’t impede their leg room and it will fit nicely without crowding the front passenger. An ‘infant’ base is included in housing the car seat properly.
- Also, you can choose if you would like for your little one forward-facing it is safe for children 20 – 80 lbs in a 5-point harness, then converts to a booster for children up to 120 lbs.
- The full steel frame and aluminum reinforced sides provide unmatched safety. This was one of the selling points that impressed me and felt important to me.
- Another example of how much this car seat impresses me is that it is NCAP crash tested, the industry benchmark for verifying child seat performance in severe accident conditions!
Some additional features that impressed me as if the above weren’t enough:
- Infant body support cushions and memory foam for added comfort (that is not pictured as Zakary is too old for it but I will make sure to include a picture.)
- Energy absorbing EPS foam and side impact protection provides added safety
- Safestop® energy-absorbing harness
- Additional forward-facing rest positions to accommodate different types of shaped vehicle seats, 12-position adjustable headrest, 5 shoulder and 3 buckle positions deliver a comfortable ride.
- Rear-facing tether capability
- LATCH installation
- Additional set of harness pads included to use only when the child is over 65 lbs in the 5-point harness
- Expandable sides and long seat bottom allow proper leg support
- Low-sitting profile makes it easy for your child to board
- Angled cup holder keeps a variety of drinks upright and within easy reach
- Cover is machine washable and dryable
- Rubber bottom grips for non-slip installation
- 10-year life
This car seat comes in the following colors:
- Storm
- Shadow (the one I received)
- Plum
- Daytona

Excellent product review! I was not familiar with Diono before reading this post. I love all the cushions! This car seat looks so comfy and protective. This car seat sounds and looks very safe and reliable!
No, I have not heard of this brand until now. This looks like a really awesome car seat and will pass the information onto the little gal whose son I watch as she in the market for a larger car seat.
Wow! This is nice and I have never heard about it before!
I have heard of them. They have a well engineered car seat and I like how easy it is to use
I had heard of this brand before but didn’t know as much about it until now. I like the plum color and the expandable sides
I have heard of Dino before – only good things. I really like how it’s an all-in-one car seat and will seat children up to 120 lbs. It also has great safety features.
I would have loved to have had this when mine were young. SO convenient and such a good design.
(The Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat from Newborn to 120 Pounds) I have heard of this car seat before. I really like this about it; that it is NCAP crash tested, the industry benchmark for verifying child seat performance in severe accident conditions!
wow this is the coolest car seat Iv’e seen. I have always dreaded pulling the car seat in and out. love how they make that task allot easier for us
This is the first time I have heard of this, what a neat idea.
I heard of Diono through a blogger’s giveaway. I wished they would of had these car seats when I was raising children!! I love all the safety & comfort features for the child. Most children do fall asleep in their car seats.
Wow, Newborn to 120 pounds. That’s the only car seat you would ever need! Love the Carry Straps.
Love that you can fit 3 across! Our family actually needs this 🙂

I love that it is the only car seat you will have to buy through your child’s life. I haven’t heard about Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat until now and what a great car seat!
I have never seen anything like this seat before. I sure wish I had one when my grand kids were younger. It is great to have one item that has multiple uses. I love that it cuts back on what you have to carry along with you!!
This is super cool! I have not seen this car seat before. Thank you for sharing.
I wished I had known about Diono before I purchased our car seats – I’ve heard nothing but raves from parents about them!!
