The Radian RXT is a highly versatile car seat that could be the only seat you’ll ever need. It comfortably seats rear-facing children from 5-45 pounds, forward-facing children from 20-80 pounds in 5-point harness, then converts to a booster for children up to 120 pounds. It’s built for strength and safety with a steel alloy frame, reinforced sidewalls, adjustable head support and our patented SafeStop energy absorbing harness. EPS foam surrounds the child's head and body to provide complete side impact protection. Our unique Superlatch system makes installation easy. The Radian RXT is NCAP crash tested, the industry benchmark for verifying child seat performance in severe accident conditions, and the only car seat rated for latch use with a child up to 80 pounds. The Radian RXT sits low on a vehicle seat for easy child boarding, features memory foam padding and infant support pillows. Expandable sides and a longer seat bottom provide extra room and comfort for your growing child. One cup holder is included, with the option to add up to 4 cup holders. In addition to all this versatility, it folds flat for travel and storage, has a 10 year life and offers amazing safety, comfort and convenience your child won’t outgrow.

Safety Features Protect Your Child from Injury


The RadianRXT's design begins with a steel alloy frame for a foundation that stands strong while other features disseminate crash forces away from your child. Aluminum reinforced side walls and head support lined with thick, energy absorbing EPS foam provide excellent side impact protection. The SafeStop energy absorbing harness provides extra protection for children 20 to 40 pounds in the forward-facing position. When installed, SafeStop provides bungee-like energy absorption which reduces impact on the child. Additionally, the RadianRXT boasts rear-facing tether capability to reduce seat rotation during an impact.

This car seat surpasses Federal crash test standards and meets NCAP standards, the industry benchmark for verifying child seat performance in severe accident conditions. The RXT is tested at its maximum forward-facing, rear-facing, and booster weight capacities, and is rated for 10 years of life.
Adaptable Design Accommodates Growing Children


The RadianRXT can be adapted to your child as they grow, keeping their car rides safe and comfortable for year. From birth to booster, the RadianRXT fits children in the rear-facing position weighing from 5 to 45 pounds, and children in the forward-facing position weighing from 20 to 80 pounds. This model converts to a booster seat for kids up to 120 pounds.

An adjustable, reinforced head support offers 12 height settings to ensure the right fit for your child and provides additional side impact safety.
Comfortable Ride for Little Ones


All Radian seats have a deep shell that provides a more comfortable rear-facing ride, as well as a higher rear-facing capacity. This car seat features a plush cloth surface that feels soft against your little one's skin. Expandable sides and a longer seat bottom offer better leg support, and help keep children cozy as well as helping maintain a custom fit throughout their physical development. Two forward-facing recline positions allow the RadianRXT to fit a wide variety of vehicle seats. Body support cushions ensure infants and babies are safe, snug and positioned correctly.
Secure SuperLATCH Installation


Diono's SuperLATCH system allows LATCH use up to the full weight capacity of the car seat.* The SuperLATCH connectors are successfully crash tested at 45 pounds rear-facing and 80 pounds forward-facing. In vehicles with LATCH anchors SuperLATCH is a safe, convenient way to install the RadianRXT and provides a proper installation every time. Rubber bottom grips ensure the seat won't slide after installation and also protect your car's upholstery.
Compact Design and Easy Care


Thanks to its exceptionally slim profile, the RadianRXT can sit three across in most vehicles. Because it does not have a pedestal the seat sits relatively low, making child boarding easy. It also features a folding design, so storing or transporting the seat is easy. The car seat is FAA approved for use on airplanes. The machine washable cover and cup holder compatibility (up to four, one included) make this car seat even more convenient.

The Diono RadianRXT Convertible plus Booster Car Seat is backed by a manufacturer's one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great seat, installation tricky in older cars., December 20, 2011

Unboxing:

First impressions of this car seat are daunting to say the least. I pulled it out of the box (a big box) and found I had to dig for the instructions right away. It comes in the collapsed mode, which allows you to attach straps and carry it as a backpack, very handy for traveling, say, on an airplane. By the way, this seat is fully airline compliant, so you shouldn't have any trouble bringing it on a plane.

Anyway, as per the directions, the base of the seat folds out for use, and does so via a simple-to-operate latch. The back of the car seat holds all the various LATCH straps and belts needed for installation either rear- or forward-facing, as well as a seat belt clip for cars built before 2001 that do not have a LATCH system. Also in the box are the backpack straps previously mentioned, as well as the infant padding you can see in the picture above, which will nicely snug in your newborn. Our son is now about 20 lbs and too big to need the extra...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly thought through car seat, December 18, 2011

This review is from: Diono RadianRXT Convertible Car Seat, Spring (Baby Product)
We have 3 children ages 7, 3 and 3 months. I have used various seats from infant to booster over the years for my children. In addition to being an end user of these types of products, I am also an 18 year firefighter a major metro city fire department. I have seen more motor vehicle accidents involving children than I care to recall. My endorsement of this seat falls into two categories; first as a parent, second as an emergency worker.

As a parent this seat is extremely well thought through. If you've used other seats you have asked yourself "why didn't they do this?" you will have finally found the seat that answers that question. If you are new to car seats... you are making a very good choice.

Something as simple as having the buckle fall forward when not in use. Not having to dig out the buckle from under your child's rear end is genius. Big buckles that are easy for an adult for operate one handed. Our 3 year-old has been an escape artist in every other...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy but worth it, February 13, 2012

This review is from: Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat, Shadow (Baby Product)
I bought this car seat for my youngest son about two months ago. Being the youngest of 3 boys, he had always used our hand me down Britax seats and they are great but getting old. Since he was riding in seat that was almost 7 years old, I thought it might be time to upgrade. I'd heard about the Sunshine kids and that they have a slim profile, so I wanted to check it out. While we have a minivan, we travel frequently and I prefer to have all 3 boys in the middle row during trips. It is easier for everyone but the width of the Britax makes it difficult to fit along with 2 Recaro boosters (which I adore). Anyway, that is how I came to investigate the Sunshine / Diono seats.

What I love:
The steel frame. We live in Southern Europe where the driving is quite perilous. Safety is the PRIMARY concern.
The ability to grown into a regular booster.
The fold and carry. Again, we travel a lot and when we fly, this makes transporting the seat through the airport...Read more
