Diono Monterey 5iST vs Baby Trend PROtect 2-in-1

The seat comes with contours that always aim to keep the child in the correct position. It comes with a machine-washable fabric cover that’s easily removable for easy and effortless care support by parents. Specifications There are more height options available on the Diono Monterey XT. This is because the number of adjustable headrest positions of the two models differs, with the Diono Monterey XT coming in 11 headrest positions which is more than the six positions that come with the Diono Cambria 2. Have LATCH. LATCH is the abbreviation for “lower anchors and tethers for children. This system allows installing the child seat using hooks or metal clips that are attached to the built-in car hooks. All car seats for children, including infant, convertible, and combination seat equipped with a 5-point harness, that were manufactured after September 1, 2002, have the LATCH system. However, for booster car seats, it is optional, and the weight limit doesn’t apply because, unlike other types of car seats for children, LATCH is used to install and position the booster properly, but not restrain it. I find it easier to move the Cambria 2 between cars than the 4DXT because it’s not nearly as bulky or heavy. You may want to keep that in mind if you’ll need to move it around a lot. Many families choose to use a convertible car seatwith a 5-point harness for as long as possible, and there is one good reason to do that: A 5-point harness car seat is much better in terms of safety than a booster seat used at any age. While a convertible seat has several installation options to keep the child safe and sound while riding, a booster is a simple seat that uses a seatbelt to restrain the child and keep him/her in place.The following views and arguments presented in this section, “V. Summary of Diono's Petitions,” are the views and arguments provided by Diono. They have not been evaluated by the Agency and do not reflect the views of the Agency. Diono describes the subject noncompliances and contends that the noncompliances are inconsequential as they relate to motor vehicle safety. The Monterey® 5iST FixSafe ™is a truly portable solution for the modern parent - welcome to travel reinvented. The Cambria 2 XL is a more economical version of another model from the same company, but this doesn’t mean it performs any differently. The first thing I noticed was how easy the LATCH system made it to install. Once installed, it stayed in place quite well. Clek has developed a great reputation over the last few years for their innovative, safety-focused car seats and boosters and the Clek Oobr booster seat is no exception. Kids and parents love it! If you plan to use your shiny new booster seat in a taxi, Uber or Lyft on your journey you don’t even need to worry about installing with the rigid LATCH. It’s primary purpose is to avoid the empty booster seat becoming a projectile but you won’t be leaving it in the car when you’re done. How does the Diono Monterey 5iST car seat compare to other travel booster seats?

In addition to the stated limits, there are some physical limits that come into play with booster seats. On the small end, we found that our younger child didn’t get a good fit in her other Diono booster seat until she was around 43″ since she’s more legs than torso. Fortunately the 5iST gets a lot smaller! I think she would have been just fine around 40″ since the lowest belt guide height I measured is 13.5″. You can see here how the 5iST compares to its cousin the Diono Monterey 4DXT in their smallest sizes. for a decision that the subject noncompliances are inconsequential as they relate to motor vehicle safety. This document announces receipt of Diono's petitions. What’s the worst part of family road trips? For us, it’s complaining. Our kids have done some seriously long drives, but even they have their limits. One of my top jobs for ensuring smooth travels is to make sure the kids are physically comfortable if I’m going to ask them to sit tight for 6 or 8 hours. This notice of receipt of Diono's petitions is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or another exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petitions. Some kids at the top of the size range may find that the seat doesn’t offer quite enough support for their thighs, which can cause them to move out of the ideal position. Usually we don’t want more than a few inches of unsupported thigh.

If you have a bigger, older booster rider then the Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle 120 might be a great choice. They’ve done a great job designing a booster seat that will last forever– really, it can go for a whopping 12 years! That’ll take your oldest child all the way through to safely passing the 5-step test, and then another one or two kids after that. The standing height is 63″– that’s my height as a full-grown adult! Thankfully the booster seat itself is low enough that kids will still have the car’s headrest behind them for support. If you like a lot of the features of the Diono Monterey XT and 4DXT above but just feel like you don’t need quite as much booster seat, the Diono Cambria 2 might be a good balance for you. You can see my daughter happily riding in the pink one above. Personal opinion: I really like the new Diono Monterey 5iST and my kids do too. Some kids this age can be tough to get on board with safety in the car, so I’ll take my victories where I can get them.
