Has your child outgrown their convertible car seat? Do you have a younger sibling who needs a convertible car seat, but your older child can’t quite pass the Five Step Seatbelt Test? Maybe your child isn’t old enough to ride without a booster seat but no longer fits comfortably or safely in their current car seat. If you want an affordable seat that will keep kids safe and comfortable for years to come, look no further than the Diono Cambria 2 XL.
Whether your child has outgrown their seat by height or weight (or you just want to re-use their current car seat for younger siblings!), the Diono Cambia comes to the rescue. This big kid seat offers lots of protection with much higher height and weight limits. Kids can ride in it from 40 to 120 pounds, taking them from age five to ten or older. Kids as tall as 63 inches (5 foot 3 inches) can use this seat. A six-position headrest makes it super simple to get the right fit, even as your child grows. You can adjust the headrest without removing the seat.
It also offers two LATCH connections, so you and your child never have to worry about buckling their empty booster seat when kids are not riding in the car. Two cup holders flip out to provide the luxury touches kids love, and help keep their essentials handy while en route.
It comes in three color choices: black, blue, and pink. The seat itself offers plenty of cushy comfort thanks to the foam padding. The cover can be removed for cleaning. At 12 lbs, the lightweight seat moves easily between cars for carpools and transport with other caregivers. And the bottom of the seat measures only 17 inches (43 cm) at the widest point, making it easier to install next to other car seats.
My older son rode in this booster seat until he entered sixth grade and could pass the Five Step Test. Now we use it for our middle child, and I’m confident our youngest will love it as well when he gets older. With an expiration eight years from the date of purchase, you can confidently use this seat for one child for many years to come, or pass it down for multiple children.
Get a seat your child will love that offers the highest protection with the Diono Cambria 2 XL.
