Product Information

She has never ridden in a backless booster before, and although the shoulder belt guide confused her initially, she was able to figure out to sit up tall and centered on the booster seat.

At the highest position, the Monterey 4DXT belt guide is close to 4 inches above this model’s shoulder, which should give him at least a couple of years of growth! It was immediately a hit with families and CPSTs because it provided an extendable back to accommodate their growing widths, and a tall back that allowed bigger kids to ride in a supportive high back booster seat.Another little feature which I know will come in very handy on our Summer road trip, are the retractable cup holders. 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.

While all backless booster seats require that the child have vehicle headrest support to the tops of their ears, the Monterey 4DXT also requires this support in high back booster mode. Lovingly Designed Durable Fabrics - With wipeable fabrics and a removable, washable cover, the Monterey 2 High Back Booster is easy to look after and keep clean day in, and day out. We found that it provided an excellent seat belt fit for both of our models in both high back and backless booster modes, and don’t doubt that it would fit children bigger and smaller than our models well. The ISOFAST hooks then clip onto the ISOFAST connector, and you use adjuster straps at the front of the seat to tighten the seat against the back of the car seat.

The Diono Monterey has always been pretty unique in its ability to adjust the width as the child grows. We have always used car seats with ISOFIX attachments as in our opinion, it limits the risk of any of our children being injured in a collision. Easy, quick and secure installation - engineered with automotive steel LATCH connectors and 2 easy adjust LATCH straps allow you to quickly tighten and secure your booster to your vehicle. It is easy to feed the vehicle seat belt into the guide, but it’s narrow enough that the seat belt does not twist in the guide or slide out on its own, all while allowing the seat belt to freely retract when unbuckled. His mom noted that the back falls off easily when moving the Monterey 4DXT from one vehicle to another, but noted that he has plenty of leg support (he carries his height in his legs) and the natural recline of the booster is great for long car rides.

The Monterey XT requires a vehicle headrest behind it, and the booster needs to be flush against the vehicle seat back. They are also a lot deeper than other seats we have tried, making it (as I am told by the tester) more comfortable. For ultimate child comfort, we’ve increased the seat depth for better leg support and angled to prevent children slipping.

We tried our 8 year old model in the high back mode of the seat as well, and it was a great fit for her. The advanced SafePlus side impact protection features 8 layers of interlocking EPS and EPP foam and includes the SafePlus energy absorbing shell, to shield and protect with SafePlus airflow technology built in for optimum child comfort.
