Disclosure: I was provided with this car seat for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
There’s nothing in the world more important than my girls. Their well-being is my number one priority. Because of this, it’s so important to choose a car seat that will keep them safe while going for rides.
I was given the opportunity to have my girls try out the Diono Radian RXT. The Diono Radian family of car seats are the only Convertible+Booster car seats with a full steel frame making them one of the safest car seats available today.
Here’s what Diono has to say about their awesome car seats:
The Radian®RXT Car Seats are designed with your child’s security and safety as top priorities. Premium materials and thoughtful safety features like a steel alloy frame, aluminum reinforced side walls, energy absorbing EPS foam, and a five-point harness put your mind at ease as your little one stays safe and sound. The reinforced adjustable head support provides additional side impact protection.
When seeing this car seat for the first time, I could tell Diono really put a lot of thought into the overall design of it. There are so many features on the Radian RXT that I have never seen on any of the previous car seats I have owned throughout the years. Not only is it safe, but by the looks of it, It’s really comfy too!
The Radian RXT has a narrow body so you can easily fit three of these seats in most mid-size vehicles. Although it’s nice and slim and doesn’t look bulky at all, I was surprised by how heavy it is. The Radian RXT weighs 26.15 lbs. It measures 28.5″ H x 17″ W x 16″ D when open and 28.5″ H x 17″ W x 10″ D when folded. The seat is FAA Certified for aircraft use, but because of it’s weight, I’d probably bring along a lighter seat when traveling. If you choose to travel with the seat, there is an option to buy straps which will allow you to carry it as a back pack, so that’s always an option.
With a 10 year life span, this may just be the only car seat you’ll ever need to buy. It seats children rear facing from 5-45 pounds and forward facing from 20-80lbs. in a 5 point harness. It also converts to a booster for kids 50 – 120 lbs. and 40 to 57 inches tall. My three and a half year old is a little over 30 pounds, and she fits in the seat perfectly. My seven year old is about 50 pounds and she fits comfortably as well, although she wouldn’t be able to fit for much longer as her shoulders are almost touching the head support.
My Favorite Features:
- 5 shoulder and 3 buckle positions deliver a comfortable ride for children as they grow.
- The sides are expandable, and they aren’t too high like other car seats we’ve had, making it easy to get a child in and out of the seat.
- Folds Flat for traveling or storage
- Well organized back of seat, clearly labeled with built in compartments for latches.
- Infant/rear facing adaptor is included
- Slim built allows you to fit three across in most mid-size vehicles.
Along with the car seat I also received the Diono SuperMat. This is something that I definitely could have used all these years! My leather seats are permanently indented from my daughters car seats, and I believe if I had used one of these from the beginning, that could have been prevented. This SuperMat features high density foam panels and are LATCH an UAS compatible. It’s also waterproof. There are also some pockets at the bottom to keep little things organized. I’m certain my 3 year old will utilize those pockets, as she loves bringing little toys into the car.
and now for the GIVEAWAY…
Livin’ The MOMMY Life along with Diono will be giving 1 lucky winner their very own Diono Radian RXT Convertible+Booster Car Seat. The Giveaway is open to US residents only. Enter using the rafflecopter form below.

The ability to last for so long means having this great seat for all my up coming great grand babies!!!! I would start with my 1st great granddaughter, Naomi who is almost 7 months!!!
Kennyatta Pridemore says
I love the seat having a 5 point harness for an extended period of time and then being able to convert so my son would stay safer longer. I’ve been looking for a seat like this with no luck, this is awesome.
My son who is 4 🙂

Linda Treadwell says
First, I love that it has the 5 shoulder and 3 buckle positions to deliver a comfortable ride for children as they grow. It gets harder to buckle our 2 year old granddaughter in her car seat because she is growing so fast and the buckles pinch her thighs. Second, it folds flat for travel, which is very important for our family.
Jeanne says
The thing that I like best is that it is really the only seat you will need for your growing child. The fact that it can be a booster seat if wonderful as your child gets older. If I won this I would give it to a friend at work who is expecting this summer.

There’s a minimum weight of just 5 pounds, so most newborns can already use it!

Love how it converts to a booster as well.

Elizabeth Gaudette says
She will still need a booster until she pasxes the 5 step test. http://csftl.org/boosters-are-for-very-big-kids/

demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
Claire Rheinheimer says
The safety features are most important to me, but I also love that this will fit 3 across, I drive a tiny car and only have 2 but I’m hoping this will allow one of my teens to fit in the middle of the 2 seats. I’d love this for my daughter who at 10 1/2 months is still in her infant seat, but not for a lot longer!
Aimee Buck says
I like the safety features and that three wide can fit in most car’s backseats.
adina says

Elizabeth Gaudette says
Youe 7 year old mowt liekly wouod not fit in this seat. 7 year olds are perfectly safe in backless boosters provided the belt fits corrextly and they are matire enough.
malia says
Although she does fit in this seat, since she’s 7 we prefer a backless booster for her. I understand that some taller children won’t fit because their shoulders would touch the head support piece. In fact, my seven year old wouldn’t fit for much longer.
Jodi Flaherty says
The narrow width and higher weight/height fit! This would be for my son- who so far has only recieved hand-me downs from his brother!
Lynette says
Love how trim the seat is with extra safety features. When #3 arrives we still haven’t figured out how we’re going to fit three car seats in the back…
Mariaelena says
I like that its a full steel frame, would love it for my son!
Chloe Chrysanthus says
I could keep my daughter rear facing much longer because of the higher height limit!! That is very important to me 😕

Cindy B says
I like how compact it is and it would be for my lil one; hopefully, we’ll have another lil one coming along in another year or so.

I like the clear directions on the back side for placement in the car. This can be confusing sometimes. I would have to keep this for myself as I have a 4 month old
Faith Still says
I like how it adjusts for a growing child and will last for such a long time. My 2 1/2 year old would fit perfectly.
Jayme H. says

Thanks!
Kimba says
I like how organized the back is. I would use this for my child.

I like that it has a 10 year life span. and only car seat my son will ever need. he is 6 months old now. so I am doing my research for his next car seat now.
kathleen says
I like both the 5 point harness and how compact it is
Stephanie says
With a 4yr old, a 3yr old, and one on the way, I’ve really been struggling to figure out how I’m going to fit them all in the back of my Ford Focus! This could be a lifesaver!
Leslie Adcock says
I like the 45lb rf’ing limit

Jennifer M. says
I love that this seat would accommodate a taller child… like mine… We’ve been lucky up to this point and have loved every car seat that we’ve owned, but alas… my very tall 3 year old is about to out grow her Britax.
Danielle Papsis says
I like that it’s clearly labeled and can fold flat for storage.
Amanda says
I love the 5 -point harness. That always seems like the safest choice there is for a car/booster seat. Would love to win this for me! 🙂
Alissa says
I like that you can do extended rear facing
Tuesday says
I like that it is so slim and there is so much protection for around the head as I always worry about that. I would love to win this for my son 🙂
Katey Myers says
I would love this for my son. He’s just about ready. I’ve been putting it off. Can’t they stay little forever??
Tara Bixler says
I could so use this for my grandson,thx for the opportunity

polly says

Love these seats; totally the dream seat, but three of them gets very expensive so they remain my dream seat.

Besides having one of the highest safety ratings, the 10 year lifespan is ideal. And despite the weight, I like that it can be carried as a backpack with the additional straps. Having your hands free is so nice at the airport!
heather says
I love that you could get 3 across, my 9 month old needs a new carseat

Robyn Salie says
Would love to win this!!
Katrina Thompson says
I love that these seats are narrow enough to fit 3 across.
Lauren DuBose says
I am obsessed with this seat! Everything sounds amazing, especially the low sides and memory foam seat! I have a tall skinny girl, and since we have to move regularly for the military and they’re always long road trips, I want a comfortable seat for her! After a disastrous 3 day trip to our most recent location I’m in the market for something she LOVES. I waffle on it because of the hefty price tag but the 10 year life span may just be worth it! Fingers crossed!
Suh park says
I love the full steel frame combined with the comfort of memory foam.

Diono is awesome, but please note mats are not recommended under any carseat, as they can effect the install.

What I like most? Besides everything? The size, the vibrant colours and the angle on of the back. I love the fact that this seat can fit 3 in the back seat of a car. I love the bright vibrant colours to keep your kids entertained a little bit on those long drives. Last but not least I love the angle of the back, I don’t understand why other car seats even when your child is forward facing they are still reclined.
Jacie says
I love the increase in weight limit for rear-facing capability! The slim design is a plus in maintaining amble room for additional seats, if needed. But the steel frame, longevity, crash testing and overall safety of this seat is what sold us!

I like that this one will fit smaller children. My short torso-ed 5 month old still will not fit in our R100

I love that this seat is low profile enough for my child to climb in and out of on her own, all while keeping her incredibly safe! Also love the option for multiple cup holders as she likes to not only bring cups into the car but lots of little toys as well!
