Diono Monterey 2XT Latch 2 in 1 High Back Booster Car Seat with Expandable Height & Width, Side Impact Protection, 8 Years 1 Booster, Black

This is the perfect booster for middle row SUV or trucks! Our little guy loves this booster!

I do wish the limits of the Diono seats with extra protection were as high as this one, but I’m glad they have something that goes to such high height limits, and this still has very good safety features beyond the requirements. Our son is very tall and I was glad to find a seat he could use for such a long time. We’ve had this over a year now—two of these actually, and the quality has been very good. My son also finds the seat very comfortable. We have two extremely hard to fit vehicles—Volvo 2012 XC60 and 2013 XC90, and this seat actually fits and works with the non-removable headrests and jut forward. These are a very good value for the money because of the high height and weight limits. Glad to have found these.

Nice looking and sturdy!

This is the XT not the 2XT.

I have two kids (5 and 7) both with slight autism that are outgrowing their Graco convertible seats. With their seat’s expiration dates also closing in, I decided to go to make the leap of faith to regular seat belted boosters. I feel like I looked at every single one on Amazon before choosing these for their convertibility and price point. I was a little disappointed realizing that there’s no anchor with these, just the latches. I assumed anchoring was included in latch system, that’s on me. Obviously it’s because the seat transforms into backless, I guess I just thought the back would have that part. Oh well. The seatbelts ARE a little hard for kids to do themselves because of how wide the base is and how most buckles are designed to be flush with seats but hopefully the kids will get the hang of it. I will buy a seat belt buckle booster and see if that will aid the children in their independence. Side note! This may come off a little OCD but it bothered me. I ordered these two black seats at the same time, and they came with different accent colors… Literally changed the number in cart from 1 to 2. One seat has a GRAY Diono with a RED tag and one has a WHITE Diono with a GRAY tag. I included a picture but it may be hard to tell due to lighting. At first I thought they must have different manufacturers dates or be different models some how but nope they are exactly the same date and everything. I can’t even exchange one because who knows which one I‘d get back lol. Don’t judge me, pray for me lol.
