RadianRXT with angle adjuster |
When I first took the seat out of the box, I instantly understood one of the reasons why they’re so highly rated – the seat was heavy! It’s due to the steel-alloy frame and the high quality of the parts used to manufacture it. With the RadianRXT, no detail is overlooked. From the reinforced sidewalls to the adjustable head support and their patented SafeStop® energy absorbing harness, this seat has it all. It’s not only beautiful in its construction, but has a myriad of accessories that have also been included in their crash tests (very important to ensure the efficacy of your seat) – like an angle adjuster (for use rear-facing and only with older babies that have good head control), which slides under the seat to make it more upright and allow the passenger in front more leg room. I purchased one (only $13!) and can tell you that it really works.

Great post! I've been wanting to learn more about the Radian. We need to purchase another carseat for our other car.

Great post! As a car seat tech, I love to hear how parents like their seats.
Diono has made some amazing advancements in technology and safety.

That is one awesome looking car seat. I didn't even know it was possible for a carseat to have a 10 year life span. I thought they all "expired" after 5 years.

Wow that is an amazing seat! Mine are all out of car seats with the exception of the last two who are in boosters. My little one is just over 40 pounds but she is tall and the seat we have now uses the seat belt and not a harness. Love that it goes to 65 lbs.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!
@AnnMarie – It is even nicer in person… great quality fabric, too!
@Nicole – this really is an amazing seat. If it fits your child well, you should get one!
@Wendy S. – your website is a great resource – thank also for the offer of help. I may just take you up on it sometime.
@Deanna T. – I know, right? Car seats didn't used to last so long. Technology is amazing!
@Patty – I was pretty amazed by it, too! Aren't you glad to almost be completely free of car seats? So much more room in the car! LOL
@Tammi – We love the seat and are so happy with it. 🙂 Glad you liked the review!

Not sure if you'll see this as this is an older post…but…how old was your son when you tried this seat? I need to get a new one for my daughter, and the Diono Radian's come up a few times. Thanks!

Hi Monique,
Sorry for the delay… for some reason I didn't see this until now. 🙂
My son was 2 when we got this seat; he's 3.5 now and it is still as amazing (and he still loves it as much) as the first day he tried it. Let me know if you have any other questions, as I'm happy to help! (You can also post on my FB page, where I'll see it quicker!)
