Diono radian rXT
Designed with safety as top priority, the narrow design and steel alloy frame allows a comfortable ride even when carpooling with the soccer team, or if accommodating young athletes up to 120lb, to fit three seats comfortably across your back seat. The stylish seat even folds for travel if your team hits the road for state or nationals, or you need to stash in the trunk when you have a carful of sporty big kids.
