The Safest of All 

The Safe+ is a fortress of safety features, ensuring top-tier protection for your little one on every ride. Here's a breakdown of the safety components Diono packs into this seat: 

1. Rear-Facing Engineering:
   In the event of a collision, an included steel anti-rebound bar decreases rebound rotation by up to 50%, ensuring maximum safety. 
   
   
2. Steel Reinforced Frame and Shell:
   Mechanically engineered from reinforced automotive-grade high-strength steel, the seat's unique core shell provides an added layer of protection and security for your child. 
   
   
3. Rollover and Side-Impact Testing:
   The seat is rigorously tested for rollovers and side impacts, ensuring it meets and exceeds safety standards.
   
   
4. Six Layers of Side Impact Protection:
   Extended sidewalls and six layers of SIP provide an additional cushion of safety for your child.
   
   
5. Enhanced Headrest and Support:
   The improved headrest, designed with high-performance foam padding, offers 12 head support positions, boasting a 22% range increase over their 3 RXT model!
   
   
6. Newborn Assistance:
   The seat includes a two-in-one infant liner and a newborn travel high wedge, which cater to the specific positioning of newborns.
   
   
7. Five-Point Harness with Anti-Slip Pads:
   A comfy five-point harness is equipped with anti-slip pads, ensuring your baby stays in the correct position and maintains optimum safety levels while in the seat!
   

Thoughtful Convenience  

The Safe+ doesn't just excel in safety. It also champions convenience with an array of thoughtful features! 

Available in five modern, sleek looks, this seat perfectly caters to your personal style.

Adding to its user-friendly design, the seat boasts a steel-reinforced XL cup holder, ensuring your little one's drinks or snacks are within easy reach while on the road. Speaking of which, the Safe+ also has the unique ability to fold for travel (or compact storage) — it’s actually the original and only (as of this writing) all-in-one convertible car seat with this feature!
