Diono LiteClik30 RXT SafePlus Infant Car Seat and Base, Rear-Facing for Infants 4-30lbs, SafePlus Engineering, with Infant Insert, UPF 50+ Sunshade (Purple Wildberry)

Excellent infant car seat, easy installation. Minor upgrade over the XT model.
I actually own 2 other car seats: the Chicco KeyFit 30 and the Diono LiteClik30 XT. The Chicco KeyFit30 is a fairly well-known and well-tested car seat. This car seat is actually quite similar and feels high quality. This LiteClik30 RXT is near identical to the LiteClik30 XT model, with the only difference being that this RXT model has non-rethread harnesses while the XT model uses rethread harnesses. In fact, the base this car seat seem to be meant for either XT or RXT models. As such, the review for the RXT is near identical to my review for the XT.Car Seat 5/5:The car seat itself is great. The cushioning is plentiful, especially if you are using the infant insert. This is what you’d find in a more premium car seat, as the cheaper car seats tend to have very thin cushions. The seat itself has easy-to-use straps that loosen/tightening like most car seats. It’s also very lightweight (without the base) and easy to carry. While it feels premium, there are some things that can be better. The handle has some wiggle in the top position, which the KeyFit30 did not. And the handle and sunshade get in the way of each other.Sunshade 4/5:For the most part, it’s actually quite good. It pulls forward quite a bit, giving your infant full coverage. This is more than the KeyFit offers. However, deploying it causes some clicking sounds, which is not great if you are trying not to wake up the baby.Base 4.5/5:The base itself is easy to adjust, has an attached anti-rebound bar (some KeyFit version have one). It comes with LATCH connectors attached to the bottom that are easily deployed. It comes with a bubble level. All of these things are important because one of the most important safety components of a car seat is that they are easy to install. Both the LATCH and seat belt install options are easy to use, especially with the blue seatbelt clamp component. It is rather narrow compared the height once the car seat is in place, which is why some may say it wobbles. But if you fasten the seat belt tightly AND use the top tether, there should be very limited movement.Installation 5/5:As mentioned in the base part, it’s key that the installation portion is simple. This really can’t get much simpler. The base comes with the LATCH connectors, which are excellent. The LATCH connectors are locking and require you to pull the red string to unlock. Compare this to some cheaper J-hook LATCH connectors that don’t lock. If you choose the seatbelt install, it just loops into the blue portion that then clamps down on the seat. No routing of the seatbelt oddly through the seat/base.Comfort 5/5:My daughter is on the higher end of the weight spectrum for this car seat. But she fits and she seems comfortable in the car seat.Docking/Removing 5/5:The car seat snaps into the base easily and reliably. To release it, the lever is on the base (unlike KeyFit, which is on the seat) and the car seat pulls right up. When attached, it feels like a solid unit.Overall, this is an excellent premium car seat. There are some minor issues that don’t affect function and safety.

Secure and easy-to-install infant car seat
The Diono car seat is very easy to install. I especially like the built-in level indicator to ensure the baby is seated at the correct angle.The base feels extremely secure – it rests firmly against the seat back and doesn’t rock side to side like some older car seat bases I’ve used. That added stability really gives peace of mind.Installation is straightforward, and the instructional video is super helpful—definitely worth watching to get everything set up properly.Great fit, smart design, and a secure feel. Highly recommended!

Quality Carseat/Carrier
I strapped in my infant nephew, and it wasn’t difficult. It probably would be even nicer if I had the stroller part so I could quickly move from car to stroller. The built-in level is nice, and it feels like it has a nice bit of protective metal that makes up the frame. Overall, it just feels like a quality product and the colors are strangely rich looking too. You do lose the space in the car because once you have this all strapped in that spot it is now JUST for the carrier, so keep that in mind if car space is at a premium.

Sleek, sturdy, easy to carry.
Lightweight, easy to install. Sturdy base attachment. Can take out and in of the vehicle without having to disturb baby. Color is sleek, Fits without struggles in multiple vehicles, no worries about incorrect install and have the most trust of this brand to keep the littles safe.

There are things I love about this car seat and things that I find very annoying and baffling.It’s beautiful, better head support for our newborn. Easy to use and install.What I don’t love: it’s heavy; the handle is awkwardly shaped and makes it harder to carry; the seat is a bit wide and does not fit easily in shopping carts; when I take my baby out it falls over which seems very dangerous.
