Amazon prime got me and now we have 2 car seats coming. We need two but I'd like to try the two we bought before committing to the one we love.
We got the evenflow symphony dlx and the Diono Radian Rxt. Any one have either of these seats and experiences?! Thanks for your help, I feel like car seats are so confusing!
We have a Diono Pacifica that we love. I love the slimness of the Diono and the low sides. Once DS turned 2 1/2 or so he really wanted to be able to see more and the low sides are perfect. Oh and I love the ERF cababilites of the Diono.
Did you get an angle adjuster? It gives you so much more room rear facing.
I have the Diono Rainier (similar to the Radian) and really like it! It's very low profile and seems to give DS1 more leg room than he had with the Chicco Nextfit. It is kind of a pain to install and it's not light, but we don't move it around very often.

We have the Diono Radian RXT and love love love it. The angle adjuster gives you a lot more room in the front of the car - at least 6 inches. I can't tell how old your LO is, but I think it's for use after 6 months for infants with good neck control.
I've heard great things about the Evenflo Symphony. I would just look at each of them and play around with them a bit - adjusting straps, installing, having kid sit in them, etc.
We have 6 Diono's total, we love them that much. For RF'ing, definitely get the angle adjuster. My kids liked being able to sit more upright and it saves in front to back space like PP's have mentioned. I don't really have any complaints about them. The low profiles are nice for getting in/out of and I really like how they look 3 across in my minivan. They kind of blend in with the regular seats and don't look crowded or bulky.
Awesome! Did not know about the angle adjuster, will look into that as I want to rf as long as possible. My guys are 17 months almost..
We RF DD1 in the RXT until 3.5.
Same here and my DS is 99th percentile in both height and weight and can still rearface. It will take you for a good RFing run. And I love it's low profile for forward facing as well.

We use a seatbelt install on our Dionos and it's not bad. It's easiest if you have two people so that one can really use their weight to push the seat down, but I've done it by myself before and been fine.
We have the evenflo Symphony dlx and love it. The self ratchet latch makes it so easy to install and the no rethread harness is great. It is wide though so if you plan on having multiple seats in the back is probably not the best choice
