Radian 3QX SafePlus

There's a Diono model that's approved for air travel that folds and isn't awful to carry. We had one, both my son and I loved it. We only replaced it due to an accident and needing a new one immediately.

We were happy with our Diono carseats for extended rear-face seating. Our strategy on strollers was to buy one that could convert from a single to a double. If I were to do it again, I'd buy a lightly used stroller from Marketplace or a consignment shop. So many baby things (and good quality) can be purchased secondhand. Friends who are done having kids are also VERY willing to give things away.

We have 98 and 99th percentile kids and Diono car seats have saved us so much. We had a Graco baby car seat with base even though the Diono has insert for infants. It was just easier to carry baby and we used it for both kids as the were close in age. They are giant 3 and 5yos now and with the long expiration date and weight limit of 120lbs, they’ll be in them until high school. Second hand baby Bjorn bouncer was amazing. Anything food or potty related get the least complicated smoothest surface area products for easy cleaning. Ikea high chair, little partners wooden booster seat, and one piece potty seat.

I’ll second this! I had three Diono seats in the back row of a Subaru outback for a few years. It worked rather well!

I have 3 of these across the back of my 2015 Outback. They are a little tight to go in but sit perfectly once in place.
