Design & Comfort

Pros:

  • "I love the design and with slide in/out cup holders; hence the reason I bought it in the first place."
  • "This booster is very comfortable and doesn't squeeze her hips."
  • "It is a nice comfortable fit for my child."
  • "This booster seat is very comfortable (her words) and the cup holders are nice as well."
  • "She says it's comfy, and it does seem to be a bit wider than the Graco we had been using."
  • "The seat itself has very nice padding and my son tells me it's super comfy."
  • "She says it is much more comfortable than her previous seat."

Cons:

  • "Although wider than most backless booster seats, the seat is very uncomfortable."
  • "Seat very uncomfortable with rectangular shaped box right where tailbone rests."
  • "The seat also does not have enough padding."
  • "The padding us a bit of a joke (hardly any us offered) and one feels like sitting on a solid piece of plastics."
  • "Any car ride more than 1 or 2 hours, and my kid says it hurts to sit on."
  • "On top of these issues, my son said the seat was hard and uncomfortable."
  • "But they advertised comfort and the seat was hard as a rock!"

Installation & Safety

Pros:

  • "Easy to install, but way too wide for most cars."
  • "Great new portable booster seat perfect for vacations or when taking an Uber."
  • "Super super easy to install."
  • "I love that the latch hooks were easy to install."
  • "Latch system is high quality and easy to use."
  • "Easy to install using latch system."
  • "Love how easy it is to use the safety latches (if you want to)."

Cons:

  • "Bulky for a booster the cup holders are hard to infold, it’s also wide which makes it hard for my daughter to buckle the seat belt, didn’t come with instructions on how to connect the latches."
  • "The seatbelt gets all twisted."
  • "The latch hooks on the booster are 'upside down' so you either need to twist the lanyard or struggle to get it to squeeze between the latch bracket and the seat bottom."
  • "The lap belt and shoulder belt (assisted by the included strap/guide) still keep him snuggly secure."
  • "These latches are a hook/clip type which are a bit more cumbersome to attach and remove."
  • "The latch straps get hung up by the fold in the strap so you may need to tug on it to get it through."
  • "The booster seat forces the child's behind to slope downward and the knees upward, which our daughter found to be uncomfortable."

Size & Fit

Pros:

  • "I have a 2016 Nissan Altima and the booster fits fine, as long as the latch hooks aren't fully tightened."
  • "This one fits her AND it has LATCH to keep it in place. We love the fit and the color."
  • "It is wider than the average carseat, so it does not pinch her legs."
  • "Would recommend to anyone that is struggling to find a wider booster seat for their bigger kid!!!!"
  • "It's nice and wide for my older son who is just not tall enough to ride without."
  • "Great for kids that need a wider booster."
  • "The Diono is definitely wide enough for her to sit comfortably and with enough room to allow her to grow."

Cons:

  • "This doesnt fit on benz suv (mercedez gle 2021)."
  • "Like the quality, kids like them, however it's too wide for backseat of Tesla Model 3."
  • "They don't fit correctly in a captain chair."
  • "Unfortunately because it's so wide, it covers the seatbelt buckle when we try to use it in the 3rd row of our 2021 Highlander."
  • "It's very bulky so it made it hard to fit 3 carseats across."
  • "It was so wide my child couldn’t find her buckle in both a Subaru Outback and Honda Civic."
  • "The seat is soooo wide that it wouldn't fit in my Toyota Sienna with two Radian xt car seats."
