I've got two B540's in the back of our '09 Honda Civic. There is about 10-12 inches between the seats. We can fit an adult in the back by shoving one seat to the middle, but it not comfortable and I we only employ this method when family visits. Two fit great; a third might fit but it would have to be smaller than the B540.

Hi Mom of Two!I have a quick but desperate question. We just bought a 2008 highlander 6 months ago, then found out I was pregnant. Does you 2nd row seat have the removable center seat? I am having an impossible time finding a way to put a booster, a carseat forward facing and a rear facing seat in the 2nd row. How did you do it, or do you have a different kind of second row?Thanks,rochelle

You'll probably want to use this one: Diono Super Mat Deluxe, Black instead since the angle adjuster is for rear facing which means you would not need the full mat back. I'm sure you can use it, but it seems like a better fit for the seat while it's rear facing would be the shorter model. We just purchased one today for a rear facing seat. We have 4 of the full mats for the 4 Dionos we have forward facing. The mat is great and saves the leather seating.

No, the diono seat folds making it very slim. We also have a Recaro, and it definitely does not fit.

I had difficulty getting this to fit next to an infant seat, and it also won't fit next to my daughter's convertible, which we got because of its narrow space. The base alone makes it difficult to put in the middle seat, but then it also protrudes in the seat part. You can get two in the back seat with each on each side of the car. An adult can squeeze uncomfortably in the middle, but it is really difficult to get to that middle spot. Especially if the seat is still rear-facing. I drive a Highlander.

Order the 18" seat (it is actually a 17 1/2" seat). this may feel a little small but that is the difference between english and western saddles. Also the imitation suede fabric is very "sticky" you won't slip in this saddle as you would in a leather one. You should consider a pair of "Webbers" instead of the stirrup leathers that come with this saddle. I hope this has been helpful.

I still haven't worked how to use it correctly. I have A Nissan Patrol and the seats seem to be too wide. I think it only suits very small doge (toy poodle etc). Sorry I am not much help!

Good question. You might look at Toyota seats and see how they compare with yours.

I found that my 5yr old grandson had more room to grow in the Diono. The Britax fit too snug - I felt it couldn't accomodate him as well now or when he's 6 or 7. Hope this helps you.

You can fit 3 dionos across a mid size car. Not sure if an infant seat and 2 dionos would work since infant seats are typically bulkier at the base. I'm about to try an infant seat and 2 dionos across my ford explorer so I'll let you know!

Yes, you can adjust the seat for a perfect fit. In addition, the seat is a nice size to accomifate comfort. You not stuck with a small narrow uncomfortable seat! I recomend this product especcially for the price, you cant beat it. Good luck and happy riding to a healthy life.

Rear facing or FF? I'm not sure on the FF but my daughter just turned three and is pretty tall for her age and still fits RF. We actually have another seat now but I enjoyed the Diono.

I don't know. It's not made for full size seats. Full height back it stood out about 7-8" when you put stuff on it it went down but made me uncomfortable to where the the cloth was comming from. Must have been from the bottom because I really didn't see If it was pulling from the top. But I was worried about the elastic tucks and head rest areas speaking of the head rests. The are not evenly spaced. Two one drivers side and one on passanger side. I mean right next to one another. Nothing like pictured. I think I'll buy the ones for dogs and see if that will fit deeper. My opinion, I wouldn't buy it though Dickies is a good name, I have no clue where they got this cut. I don't know. It's not made for full size seats.

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:)

I had a Camry and the older model of this seat, this model I hear is smaller. We had the car seat in the middle of the backseat, rear-facing (the safest position) and I was still able to sit in either seat next to the car seat. We never tired it behind the passenger seat, but we were recently in a serious car crash and my son only had minor bruising. This seat saved my son, so I don't mind the size.

With any car seat that is good quality, the fit will be snug. This one may be a better fit for smaller cars because the base isn't as wide as some of the other ones out there.
