Diono vs Britax convertible car seats

As far as price, Diono and Britax cost about the same. There are some Diono models that may be on the pricier side but in general, one brand is not too much more expensive than the other.

Britax does have a bit of the upper hand when it comes to their safety ratings and reputation. That’s probably due to them being around a lot longer (+70 years), so they’ve had time to build and create new products that exceed the NHTSA safety standards. But, Diono is definitely catching up.

While both brands have some sort of ClickTight or SuperLATCH installation system, Diono is the only one with a compact design that frees up more space in the backseat. Diono convertible car seats can also be adjusted to give your child more legroom and more time in the rear-racing position.

Clek Fllo convertible car seats are a bit more practical to use. They’re very compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to sit more than one of them in the back seat, much like the Diono 3-across-fit feature.

Lastly, Diono car seats are known to be easier to carry and travel with than Clek Fllo car seats. On the other hand, Clek Fllo car seats have a slightly better safety rating than Diono car seats.

First, all Graco convertible car seats are equipped with cup holders to make carrying your child’s drink easier and more convenient. Also, Graco car seats are bulkier than Diono convertibles, meaning they don’t the ability to free up more space in the back seat as Diono car seats do.

As far as price goes, Graco car seats are definitely cheaper than Diono. That doesn’t mean they’re lacking in quality. Both brands are equipped with state-of-the-art features to ensure that your child is getting the safest car ride every time.
