Babies: 3 - 6 Months

diono car seat

I just purchased the diono radian RXT car seat for my 4 month old.  Because this car seat is pricey, my husband and I were planning to leave the car seat at daycare as we have been with the infant car seat.  (to avoid having to buy 2 car seats, one for each vehicle)  However, I'm worried that installing the car seat everyday will get tiresome and frustrating.  Anyone have experience with this car seat and the installation?

  • Yall are nuts. It would be the biggest PITA to install every day. It take me almost an hour to properly install one of our Diono's. I'm really anal though. I would save your pennies and maybe get on of the cheaper models like the r100 or r120 for DH's car

    I would go to Walmart and pick up a evenflo tribute or a scerena for the other vehicle.  They are about $50.  They are good seats.  My older two road in one of each when they were younger.

  • It's a great seat, and easy install for a convertible type seat... But as pp said, you won't want to be installing every day. I would spend the money now on another radian because buying any other seat won't last you as long and you'll be making multiple

  • Thanks for the advice! I ended up buying a Radion R100 for the second vehicle. This is our first child and we plan to have more, so I figured why not?
