Our Top Pick for a Kindergarten Aged Car Seat

Our kids grew up – and so should their car seats.

Safety is at the top of my priority list when it comes to a car seat for my kids. I really wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to them if we were in a car accident (touch wood it never does happen though). All I want to care about is getting the right car accident lawyers, with the knowledge that everyone is safe and alive at least. Furthermore, taking precautions incase something awful was to happen is equally important. My baby has a good car seat and I know everything about life insurance and long term disability insurance, so that in the event of an accident, I know what my first move should be. It’s important to protect everyone in the car and insurance is the best way to protect myself as a parent. What’s more – a good car insurance policy will also cover your child’s car seat. If you were to be in an accident, your insurance company will pay to replace the damaged car seat.

Now that my 5 year old is getting taller, starting to weigh more and has stronger bones…we know that she is still a small child in the big picture of things. After my best friend bought an isofix car seat, I’ve been on the hunt for a car seat too.

I fully believe in staying in a 5 point harness as long as possible. It is safer, hands down. I’d hate for anything bad to happen. I know car accidents do happen, that’s why it’s so easy to get yourself a lawyer who specializes in law (for example, you could use someone like Batta Fulkerson). However, I would much prefer to not have a car accident (and I’m assume everyone else is thinking the same).

After looking around I saw that it was an option for her to move to a booster based on her weight (45 lbs) but I know in my heart of hearts it is not the time for her to move to a booster and seat belt only restraint. I know she wants to feel like a big kid, look like she is in a booster, but I want her strapped in safely. This is where is Diono rXT all-in-one convertible car seat steps into our lives.

The sleek and more vertical design of this seat makes it perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten aged children.

The sleek design also can fit 3 of these seat in the same row, for families with multiple children

Extended rear-facing

The radian® rXT keeps children comfortably rear-facing from 5-45 pounds for the safest possible position. Premium, plush head and body support cushions are included for newborns and infants.

Room to grow

Accommodates forward-facing children up to 65 pounds in a 5-point harness and converts to booster mode for kids 50-120 pounds. The aluminum reinforced, adjustable head support and sidewalls provide additional side impact protection.

I love how this seat will change into a booster when my daughter gains more weight and needs to go into a true booster style seat. I am thinking this will happen by fall 2018…but who knows with the rate kids grow – it seems so random at times doesn’t it?

As soon as my 5 year old saw this seat she said “Woah! A car seat for big kids!”

MamatheFox’s Favorite Aspects of the Diono rXT

  • Safety First! The manual comes with tons of great information, helping you set up the car seat the way you should based on your child’s size
  • Learned new informationTo learn how car seats keep your child safe check out Parenting Pod. Because my daughter is under 50 but over 40 lbs, I no longer use the latch system with this car seat! I did not know this at all – and I am so glad Diono took the time to inform me of the right steps to take when installing my seat based on what is most safe for my child. For her weight I was to use the seat belt and the rear anchor.
  • Easy to buckle in and tighten the straps. One of the main issues parents have with car seats is pulling the straps tight enough. I have struggled, and I mean practically fought with tightening straps properly in other car seats. The Diono rXT has a cool feature that clicks as it tightens. You can feel it click, which makes it much easier to tighten to the correct place on your child’s chest.
  • Cup Holder is Removable. The grossest, most odd things can be found in your kid’s car seat cup holder. Having it be removable for deep cleaning is such a perfect and parent loving design.
  • Wider hip room for bigger children. Kids are build differently, just as adults are. This seat has a fun feature that allows your children to grow with their seat. The hip area can snap to a lower, wider setting, allowing your child to truly grow with their seat.

Phoenix Baby Go To Review

phoenix-baby-logo

 

We all take a night here and there to enjoy a restaurant-cooked meal, am I right?! With kids, going out to eat can be a challenge. Where will baby sit? Are there high chairs there? Will baby have to sit on my lap? Where are we going to put the car seat? Should we bring the stroller in? All parents have these thoughts before walking into a restaurant with an infant. Well, you can stop the questions and check out the Phoenix Baby GoTo. This foldable, collapsable high chair and car seat station will change the way you eat out. Leave it in the trunk of your car and pull it out when you get to a restaurant, set it up quickly, and enjoy a dinner with the family! The GoTo is the perfect product for parents on the go or someone with a small home.

Phoenix Baby makes sure their products are safe for your baby by working closely with pediatricians, engineers, and child development experts. Keep your baby protected from the germs of a restaurant high chair and bring your own. The GoTo is lightweight, portable, and easy to fold; perfect to bring along to vacations, restaurants, or even camping. It’s a great alternative to a high chair at home, great for small houses!

The GoTo has a storage compartment on the back where you can store bibs, cups, utensils, or whatever you need! The safety straps on the chair are great for every infant; what kid doesn’t move and squirm while their sitting?! While my son was in the chair he was moving around so much, and even sliding down towards the leg holes. I am very grateful I had him strapped in to ensure his safety. The grips on the bottom of the four legs are an awesome safety feature too. They really do work, when trying to slide the chair on our dining room floor it literally would not move; I had to pick it up in order to move it.

When using the GoTo with our table it seems to have worked pretty well. I didn’t put food in front of my baby, I spoon fed him. But I did put his water cup on the table and he was able to grab it and pull it to him. The chair came up to the table and he was at a good height. An aspect of the chair that I really like is the little space between baby’s chest and the edge of the chair. When he would drop his water cup it landed in the pocket space and didn’t fall on the floor. It wasn’t a big deal if it fell on the floor at our home, but if we were in a restaurant I for sure would not want it falling on the ground. It is a very innovative aspect of the high chair. In the picture below you can see the three different sections of the chair. Number 1 is the back – store whatever you need and whatever will fit. Number 2 is where baby sits; and number 3 is the extra “drop zone” space that catches what baby drops.

go-to-sections

Although I found it very difficult to lock the chair into place, Phoenix Baby did well in creating a safe product. I have full confidence that the chair and stand will not collapse. The legs pull out pretty easily but getting the locking mechanism to the ‘locked’ position was a challenge. Once I opened and closed the chair a few times I got the hang of how it needed to lock and it was no problem. I do appreciate the difficult-ness of locking the chair because that tells me that it’s safe. If it is that hard to lock then how much harder will it be to collapse – impossible it seems! The buttons on the side that hold up the leg holes are also difficult to snap; but again I feel very confident that they won’t unsnap by chance. The safety features have this mom’s approval!

go-to

When baby is younger (or even sleeping in the carrier) you can use the chair as a stand for their car seat. All you need to do is unsnap the leg hole flap, unclip the chair back, and lay them flat. You now have a sturdy, square, table-level car seat holder! This is such a good resource to have when baby is little. My husband and I could have used this multiple times we went to restaurants a few months ago. We could have avoided putting our son on the table or using a chair and watching closely that the car seat didn’t fall off! There is even a clip so you can secure the car seat; ensuring complete and total safety.
