The Diono Radian 3RXT is suitable for newborns weighing 5 pounds and up. Keep in mind that you must air dry the cover, as it will spoil in the dryer. The base of the seat is made from memory foam to fit your child’s contour and provide comfort.Ĭar seat covers always get dirty, so you’ll be happy to know that it’s very easily removable and you can toss it in the washing machine for easy cleaning.

The outer covering of the 3RXT is very comfortable and elegant with modern trims and straight lines. You don’t even need 3 Radians, as the Radian is slim enough to fit between two other car seats too. The Radian 3RXT is actually quite a slim car seat as you can get away with installing 3 car seats next to one another in the back seat of a medium sized vehicle. The harness works in both front facing and rear facing modes. Just because the Radian 3RXT is built like a tank does not mean it’s not comfortable! There is plenty of head support and the 5-point harness will hold your child rather snugly into the seat. You can’t use it in booster mode on an airplane, and really, you don’t need to, either. You can also use this car seat for air travel, as it is FAA approved if you use the 5 point harness. Side note: due to the weight, you may actually find it quite cumbersome to move it from one car to another, so portability is definitely not one of this car seat’s strong suits! It’s made with a sturdy steel frame and the sides of the seat are reinforced with aluminum. It will hardly move once you’ve installed it! There’s also a signature SuperLatch system that keeps the seat very securely attached to the car.

This is a plus point for the car seat, as heavier seats tend to be more sturdy. It is very solidly built and is actually incredibly heavy. The entire car seat is fitted with high quality EPS foam that serves as an excellent shock absorption medium to protect your child from all sides. One of the most important safety features in a car seat is protection from side impacts.

The Diono Radian 3RXT is one of the safest convertible car seats out there. Of course, the first things you want to consider when buying a car seat is safety and weight limits.
