At Diono's Headquarters, a team of engineers continually work on improvements to our car seats. SafePlus™ engineering is the latest advancement in materials and rear and side impact protection, thoroughly tested and built into many of our car seats.

The SafePlus™ side impact pod is a safety feature that can be installed on the car seat side closest to the car door. It works by redirecting side impact crash force energy away from the seat and the child.

Our car seat fabrics are tested to ensure they do not contain any legally restricted harmful flame retardants. In order to meet Federal and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flammability, our car seat fabrics do contain flame retardants.

Safety is paramount. Diono® ensures compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), regularly testing all car seats.

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

Each Radian® is hand built by our manufacturing partners overseen by our highly trained quality control team.

Your Radian® is heavy as our engineers will never compromise on the intergity of the famous Diono Steel core. Since launch our reinforced automotive grade high strength steel core is the heart of our Radian, protecting generations of kids everyday.

Your Radian® 3R® has a low seat base because as your child grows, they will want to get in and out of your car themselves. This low height makes it very easy for them to get into their seat before you harness them up.

The seat sides on the base expand as your child grows. Parents and kids really love this feature on the Radian® 3R® as it makes travel so much easier
