When we had our third child, we ran into a slight dilemma with fitting all of our car seats in our back seat of our vehicle. Our current car seats would not fit all three in a row! This same problem was going to be a concern when renting a vehicle while traveling domestically and to an international destination. While doing some research, I discovered the Diono Radian 3R convertible car seat. We have tried quite a few different car seat brands/models and this was the best solution to our issue.

Best Features

• Very comfortable for our little ones
• You can typically fit 3 of these car seats across in the back seat of a mid-size vehicle and larger (minimum 51 inch vehicle seat width)
• Seat folds up, making it even more compact and travel-friendly
• It will work in the rear-facing and forward-facing positions
• Easy to clean and wash the material
• Only weighs a little over 20 lbs, making it easy to transport
• Comes in a large variety of colors

The Big Picture

When you have three children who are at ages that need to be in a car seat still, there are not a lot of options out there that can fit all the car seats in the back seat of your vehicle. Our options were either to trade in our mid-size SUV for a larger vehicle (which was not an option for us!) or figure out a different car seat solution. Fortunately, I discovered these car seats, and we were able to safely fit three car seats in a row.

If you are in the market for a new car seat that is also travel-friendly, I would definitely consider purchasing this product.
