Yes, anytime a Diono seat is installed rear facing the rear facing base must be installed.

The adjustable bottom should be lowered when the occupant is forward facing while using the 5-point harness system and weighs 25 lb or more. The seat bottom should not be lowered while in rear-facing or booster mode.

If rear-facing using the first 2 harness slots, raise the head support even with the top of the seat. When using the 3rd harness slot, lower the head support so the bottom is even with your child's jaw.

When in rear-facing, the detachable base creates the correct recline angle.

A rear-facing child is too tall for the seat if any of the following are true: they are 44in or taller, there is 1 1/2in or less between the top of their head and the top of the seat shell.

All Diono All-in-One car seats can be used rear-facing up to 50 lbs or 44 inches height. We encourage rear-facing as long as possible, since it is the safest way for children to travel!

A rear facing Radian® uses 30-36 inches (76 - 91.4 cm) between the vehicle's backseat and seat back of the front seat. This also depends on the vehicle's seat shape and contour.

When in forward-facing mode a child is too tall for the seat if they are 57in or taller, the tops of their ears are higher than the seat shell, or their shoulders are touching the bottom of the adjustable head support at its highest position.

Both installations are safe and have been approved for forward-facing installations. Neither is safer than the other, use the one that gives the best installation.

Both installations are safe and have been approved for rear-facing installations. Neither is safer than the other, use the one that gives the best installation.

Diono seats have not been tested with harnessing systems that are not included with the car seat. Do not use any 3rd party or after market harness system with your Diono car seat.

No. Always follow the car seat manufacturer's guidelines regarding use of items not included with the car seat.

No. Thick clothing creates extra space between the harness and the child which is a safety hazard. We recommend removing the coat and harnessing your child in their seat. Then you can place their coat on backwards or use a blanket to keep them warm.

Diono car seats and boosters are tested to meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) per NHTSA, and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), per Transport Canada.

All Diono convertible car seats have a life span of 10 years, starting from the date you purchase your seat. In the event the date of purchase cannot be determined then we use the date of manufacture.
