While the width makes this a tough sell for most 3-across situations, and the requirement for vehicle headrest support limits the vehicles/seating positions the booster can be used in, for many children this booster seat would be an excellent, long-lasting, comfortable option.

We can adjust the side wings to give his shoulders more room, and the internal width of the seat pan is a generous 12. The Diono Monterey has always been pretty unique in its ability to adjust the width as the child grows. I found that if I put the bottom seat portion flat on the ground right side up, then lined up the backrest hooks and connected them to the seat, it was easy to raise the seat back portion and the seat was assembled.For ultimate child comfort, we’ve increased the seat depth for better leg support and angled to prevent children slipping.

However with restrictions potentially easing in the next couple of months, families will no doubt want to hit the road to visit family and friends and take on that next big family adventure in their car. To remove the back and convert the Monterey 4DXT to a backless booster seat, perform those steps in reverse. Designed with a simple 4 step installation and adjustable rigid latch FixSafe connectors, Monterey 5iST FixSafe can be used straight out of the box, with no assembly required. While he can legally ride without a booster seat, he is a couple of years away from passing the 5 Step Test, so he rides in a booster seat full time. When youre on the move or need to switch between vehicles, the FixSafe connectors offer a simple way to secure the booster to the vehicle latch system, for a safe and convenient installation every time.The backless portion of the seat falls off when the back is lifted, which is a bit of a pain (even though the back re-attaches quite easily).

While it is bulky and won’t work well in a three across situation, the Diono Monterey XT is a great option for bigger littles and littles who prefer extra padding. You’re going to make many children (and their caregivers) quite happy because of your tall and wide high back booster mode, and plush cover that comes in many different colors.Deep, reinforced side wings, lined with energy absorbing EPS foam, provides enhanced safety as your child grows. Dual cup holders are included to fit on either side of the seat: they're extra-deep and angled to keep drinks upright- and you can even use one for snacks.

The Monterey XT is quite wide, so it likely won’t work in tight three across situations, but it’s great on a captain’s chair or if you only need two seats. At 25% smaller than the average booster, Monterey 5iST FixSafe folds down into a compact and convenient size and features an integrated carry handle and carry straps with designated storage compartment.
