i bought this for my great grandson and we love it.... he loves it too... its very comfy for him and built strong. right out of the box he was climbing in it to check it out... we got it at a great price as it was on sale... very happy with our 3RX ! great seat.... thank you!

I wasn’t sure at first because the pads on the straps are THICK. But after using it for a few months, I’m definitely a fan.

I am so glad I went with this car seat! It super easy to use, it took maybe 4 minutes? I have two under two and it was simple to install and no fuss when I load up the kids. They enjoy it and it fits great in our small city friendly compact car. Would buy again and have already recommended this brand and STORE to my friends ❤️

my daughter loves the colors. I had got this car seat for traveling. It's cool that it folds. I brought the straps to go with it but it's still heavy so I'll have to buy the traveling car seat bag with the wheels.

Works like a dream to get 3 across. Would recommend getting the angle adjuster for optimal safe usage https://www.albeebaby.com/diono-rear-facing-car-seat-angle-adjuster.html?_ga=2.181036645.398752269.1595900327-551077668.1594094236

Comfy and stylish and fits great in my car highly recommend

We liked this. It met the purpose we had- being slimline. However in the forward facing position my children always were found with their heads tipped forward where their airways can't safely be kept open. This was very bothersome for them and for my mom heart! I wish it had a reclining option for forward facing seats. Some vehicles have natural recline in their seats and some don't. I see this being perfect in most cars.

We have been looking for car seat specifically so we could do 3 across and these are perfect. I saw many reviews about them being incredibly heavy, but they are only 22 lbs which is less than the other car seats we have owned.

I really appreciate a few things about this seat. It is narrow yet roomy inside for comfort, the fabric is nice, the straps tighten easily and it's really, really solid. There are only a handful of seats that can fit three across and this is one of them. That said, it is so complicated compared to other seats! So many rules/settings for different weights, the crotch buckle must be in this slot for this size kid, safety stop must be used for these kids, the base has to be in this setting using this release lever, etc etc. I know it’s all because of safety but my concern is that due to the many, many rules that it may be set up incorrectly and therefore LESS safe than a different seat. It is also quite difficult to get tight enough using latch. Competitors have a much better latch systems. Also, it is enormous front to back when rear facing. Now that it's in (use a seat belt) I like it but getting there was a challenge.

We have 4 Dionos and have been very happy with them.

This car seat is heavy, but once we got it installed we haven't moved it, so the weight wasn't a big deal for us. I wouldn't want to be moving it from car to car regularly though. We have twins and a toddler who are all in convertible car seats and our toddler wants to be in the same row as his sisters, so we have 2 of the Diono Radians and a Graco Contender 65 all across the middle row of our Kia Sorento. They fit perfectly. The twins seem to be comfortable in the seats and I love that they can all fit in the same row together. The only downfall of these seats is that they aren't adjustable height and they are very tall. Our twins are still rear-facing and currently to be able to access our 3rd row without taking a car seat out, we have to have our son's front-facing car seat behind the passenger seat, which leaves the twins rear-facing in the middle seat and behind the driver. The rear-facing Radian in the middle is so tall that it makes it almost impossible to reach over the seat into the back row to hand out a snack, find a dropped pacifier, etc. Only a minor annoyance and really only a problem on longer car trips. Overall I love these seats!

The seats are incredibly well constructed. I have two other all in one car seats I’m my wife’s truck and they are just plastic behemoths. These are streamlined and compact and surprisingly heavy. They have a variety of mounting options to suit any application. My only complaint; when in a rear-facing position it is incredibly reclined. So much that my passenger seat has to go all the way forward to keep the metal frame from imprinting the leather headrest. This is inconvenient because they are touted as space savers and my backseat isn’t small by any means. But, it’s not a minivan (which is what I’m thinking they used to design these). That being said, forward-facing is great. I bought two and the space in between the seats is enough to fit a piece of luggage. We do a lot of road trips for camping and every sq.in. gained is worth it’s weight in gold. Overall very happy. The rear facing setup has a removable base to cause the recline I might take that off and just use the standard recline function. Between that and the tether, it’ll be much safer than being unable to be level due to seat interference.

The only stimulation we have is the pad for the straps are a little big too much as the baby becomes a toddler.

This car seat has tons of rave reviews, and with number three on the way, it seemed like the logical choice to get some extra space in the back seat of my Subaru Forester. The seat itself is quite solid, and the fit and finish is very nice—comparable to the Britax Marathon that my three year old has been using. Unlike the Britax, however, which installs quickly and easily, this seat is tough to install. I installed two, one rear facing and one forward facing, and they are both a challenge. I used the latch system to install both seats, and it didn’t go well. As opposed to the Britax, which has two independent latches that make tightening a breeze, the Diono has the system where both latch connectors are attached to one another, and one is fed through the seatbelt installation portal. Other seats that I’ve used with this method have been a challenge to get tight, and this is no exception. Rear facing was a bit easier to get tight, but was still time-consuming, difficult, frustrating, and tiring. Secondly, the ether strap on the forward facing seat is almost impossible to get snug enough that it restricts the seat’s movement. The big issue with the seats is that as you pull the straps tight, they begin to act as though they are fully tightened when they are nowhere close. I was pulling with all my might to tighten the latch strap, only to check it and find that I could easily slide a finger underneath the fabric. I am a strong man, and I had trouble getting these straps tight. This was not the user experience that I expected. Now that they are installed, I am happy with them, but wow, what a pain.

Couldn't love it more. Installs well, and fit in the middle of the minivan back row. No complaints!

Great product and fast shipping, fits nicely in the car and way less cheaply made than a Graco or Evenflo. Fits in the car nicely and very secure. The babe loves his fancy seat.

I am a mother of 9 and a car seat safety technician. I have been using this brand of carseats for 12+ years now! They are great for so many reasons! The biggest being that you can fit 3 across with ease. We have used these seats 3 across in a Chrysler Town & Country, a Ford Focus, Honda Accord, Chevy Suburban, Ford F350, Toyota Tacoma, and Saab 930. These seats are also great for travel in airplanes. The 10 years before expiring is another huge benefit! If you break down the cost over 10 years it is literally pennies a day to keep your child safe! Today I am ordering a 3rd one to replace our seat that will soon be expiring.

We have twin girls that are almost 3 and a baby on the way. We needed more space in our backseat. These are slim and perfect for adding a car seat to the mix. The straps cinch down so easy compared to our Safety 1st toddler seats we had before. Can't say enough good things about these seats! Super sturdy and secure. Also like that they fold down for traveling.

I have a 3 1/2 year old son and we were looking for a seat that was streamlined and could fit easily in the back seat of a car as well as an SUV. This fit the bill! Great fabric color choices. Great quality and sturdy.

This updated model is even better than the last one, and is a breeze to install! My daughter loves the color, and I love that it fits three across with our other Dionos.

I kept this car seat in an open tab in my phone for months. I finally ordered it and couldn't be happier! I got two car seats for my 1 and 4 year old. The car seats are narrow enough to leave an empty seat in the back row! I feel great about putting my kids in this car seat every day. The buckles are a breeze (:

This seat is a completely rarity! It is compact enough to put three seats in a row, but also just large enough to still comfortably fit a growing child! The pink color is adorable too! This seat is extremely easy to latch and the 5-point harness is so easy to click together. I had a different brand convertible seat and the lap button was miserable, so this is an amazing upgrade! The steel frame does make the seat a bit heavier, but to me, that’s my peace of mind. It’s stronger, really comfortable, and adorable. Winning all around!

I really like the way this carseat looks, fabric feels really nice too, i got it for my 2 year old, he looks comfortable in it. It is a heavy car seat, but it stays in the car, so once you buckle it in, it's fine. If you're constantly moving the carseat between vehicles, it's probably not the best choice since its on the heavier side, but other than that, I'm happy with it!

My daughter absolutely loves her new carseat/booster seat. She says its very comfortable, she is able to easily buckle herself in and of course loves the pink colors. Well worth the price as its will convert to a booster seat. As a parent I wanted her to be in a harnest strap for as long as I could possibly can , and this carseat does that. Well made , steal frame so its super heavy. I also like all the features that it comes with for example all the straps clip nicely in the back and has a place where it goes when your not using them etc. Overall best carseat/booster chair on the market!

I run an in home daycare and with 6 in car seats it can be very hard to fit them all in. This car seat was narrow enough to fit three across my seat with ease. I’ll be buying more!!!

Love the car seat, fits prefect and my son loves the color

I am a mom of 5. We recently went from an expedition to an Odyssey. My older 2 children are in booster seats, my next child is in a forward facing harness seat and my younger 2 are rear facing in a Britax marathon and a chicco nextfit. When we got the odyssey our baby was still in his infant car seat and my 2 rearfacers could be side by side allowing a booster rider next to them and easy access to the 3rd row for the other 2. Unfortunately the marathon and nextfit are wide seats and we couldn't get them to sit side by side. So, we bought this seat. It fits perfectly! It seems comfortable. I like the harness pads, although they are super thick. It came set for a large child. It took awhile to figure out how to adjust the crotch strap to the first setting. Everything else was pretty self explanatory. The directions were easy to understand in the instruction manual. Installing the seat wasn't too difficult, but I have more appreciation for Britax's click tight system and chicco's cinch tight system. All in all this is a great seat, especially since it can fit in "tight" spaces. My daughter seems to like it and has plenty of room to grow.

This is a heavy duty, well made car seat. We got this due to 3 across and was now able to add a seat belt extender to make it easier to buckle the older childs booster seat without always crushing fingers.. Granddaughter loves the pink color so just tops off how happy we are with purchase

purchased this for my daughter, who still sits rear facing, and I'm so happy with the purchase. I love how narrow it is, especially with three kids who are in seats and I love the quality of the car seat. I highly recommend this car seat, especially if you have three car seats in a row.

Diono car seats are the best. Worth their weight (literally). My toddler loves her seat. Albee had a great selection, and awesome prices (cheapest I found!). Customer service and quick shipping earned an A+ from me and my family. We are super happy with our purchase!

We ordered this for an outback. Setup was definitely more challenging than typical seats but not terrible. It functions exactly as advertised and we would recommend.

Purchased this seat when I found out I was having another baby and wanted something slimmer for my backseat and I have to say I really love it.

We love Diono. They are our favorite car seat for three across. For the price, the quality is outstanding. Albeebaby is always our go to for any and all things baby. They have fast shipping and great customer service.

Honestly can’t find one thing I don’t like about this car seat. Purchased because I was adding another car seat to my car and I wanted a little more space so needed a less bulky car seat. I was worried it wouldn’t be comfortable for my daughter who was used to her Britax Marathon ClickTight but she has no complaints. It’s heavy duty and you can tell it’s made well. It was easy to install I love the fact it folds for travel. I would give more stars if I could.

I researched carseats until i was cross-eyed and finally decided on two of these for my 3 and 5 yr old and the chicco keyfit30 for our soon to arrive third child. We have a moderately sized car and werent interested in buying a larger one or a van, so had to figure out how to get three seats in one car. I was so nervous installing them, but watched all the videos and read the booklet and then the real test, would the doors close?? They did!! These seats are so slim and classy looking, my boys feel like real and true big kids in them. We had the graco 4ever seats for them before these and they were so huge in retrospect. My older son noted right away that he liked that the diono seats didnt have the gap at the side of the seat where they both occasionally got their legs or feet stuck when climbing in so that was a big plus for him. My only only complaint is that there dont seem to be enough options for should strap height adjustment as the strap is a good few inches above my 5yr olds shoulders. Oh, one more thing. The cushions on the straps are on the chest portion of the strap instead of on either side of the neck and they had an uncomfortable first ride as it was scratching their necks. I made strap covers from old felted sweaters to fix that problem, but i thought it an unusual oversight on diono's part. I thought those were pretty standard on carseats. But it was an easy fix.

I bought 2 of these so I could go three across. Very well made and easy to install. Belts do not seem to twist and it is easy to get the grad kids into the car. The only problem is that one had the back fabric missing.

These are by far the best car seats I’ve ever bought. I have five kids 3 and under and I’m able to easily fit them all in my vehicle with these car seats. The quality of the material is the best!!

Love this car seat for my five-year-old “big” kid. We installed it with ease in the third row of our 2019 Honda Odessey and the third row of our 2020 Ford Explorer.

I got 1 of the seats to see if our daughter would fit in better than the other brand we had. we love it. now I bought 2 others for our twin boys. In blue color for them. plus a bunch of accessories for them. Love it. so worth the price

Easy to install and comfortable for a 2 y.o. Feels strong and safe. Like the folding feature.

I purchased two Diono Radian 3R in light grey. Although they're not as lightly coloured as the pictures convey (the photos look like an off-white, but the actual product is more the light grey colour described), these are everything I hoped for - and more! They are bloody heavy! I'm not an engineer, especially not one for child car seats, but I'm convinced this weight is a testament to their robustness and safety. I specifically sought these out for a seat that was sleek and narrow. While initially drawn to the Clek Fllo for it's narrowness, simple design, and lack of hideous badges, branding, logos, and tags; I found the Diono was a bit more sleek (not as thick), and much much cheaper. Ultimately, price was the deciding factor, and Albee Baby definitely had the best price on the Radian 3R out-the-door. While the backward-facing configuration takes up a lot more horizontal space than one would ever expect of such a sleek seat, the Diono Angle Adjuster (a $10 foam mat) does adjust the angle of the seat to spare some lateral room. These seats fit exceptionally well in our roomier 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The cheaply constructed and poorly designed Gracos we had before, were only slightly cheaper in price, but inferior in every way. It feels like an entirely new vehicle with the space the Dionos have allowed for. The extra space and ergonomically designed buckles make buckling a far more pleasant experience. The children are genuinely more comfortable in their seats, and I feel far more confident in their seats' construction and safety. My purchase of the Diono Radian 3R was predominantly driven by our plan to upgrade from our Chevrolet Impala to a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. The Model 3 is a smaller vehicle than the Impala (though it really doesn't feel that much smaller with the panoramic glass roof, and incredible storage), so the back seat is certainly narrower from door-to-door. The Diono is 17" in width, on par with the narrowest seats out there, and will allow for comfortable seating across the back seats even if 3-wide.

The Diono Radian 3R is a perfect fit for our SUV having two kids in a car seat, it is slim an gives a third passenger (mom) a ride on the backseat with them

Worked perfectly for fitting 3 across in our 2007 Ford Focus. We were looking for a slim car seat that was cost effective for our car and the Diono Radian 3R was exactly what we were looking for! Our 3.5 year old and 5.5 year old say the seats are comfortable. The straps are easy to tighten and the car seat has a low profile making it easy for the kids to climb in and out of, especially in a small car. We also love that it has a steel frame. Overall, we are very pleased with the Diono Radian 3R! *The third car seat pictured is a Graco Contender 65 installed rear facing on the driver side. A third Diono Radian 3R would fit as well, but we opted to use what we had until our child outgrew the Graco. The Graco Contender 65 would NOT work if it was forward facing (not enough room to install forward facing), only works rear facing for the 3 across configuration.*

This is the 5th Diono Radian that we purchase. Most have been purchased through Albee Baby due to their great prices. Although they seem large, can fit three across easily in our minivan and can fit them rear-facing (with the additional foam spacer pad) in our small Ford Focus ST no problem. As long as you are not constantly moving these (they are heavy and bulky to move), these are great.

We researched rear-facing child seats to find one that would fit in the rear seat of our 2004 F-150 extended cab pickup and our 2006 BMW 325i E90 sedan. Using the Diono angle adjuster, this seat fits in both vehicles without causing the front passenger seat to be moved forward enough to be uncomfortable for an adult passenger. Our baby transitioned from her infant carrier to this seat without difficulty, and loves it! Highly recommended.

slim design of the seat to work with multiple other seats, Good price

Love, Love, Love this seat. It is incredibly narrow and super sturdy. It has a steel core, so it is heavy but in a good way. Had I known about this seat and purchased it to begin with, I would have saved myself tons of time and money. My toddler loves it and I love it too!

Ordered two of these and they came within a week. Compared to our Graco they are solid and sturdy. So far the kids like them and it allows for us to but 4 across in our honda CRV and delay purchasing a new car

We needed a seat that would fit 3 car seats across in our car. This one works great. I wish it came with cup holders but you can purchase those separately.

Slim and comfortable for other riders
