Diono Monterey High Back Belt Positioning Booster Car Seat - Surf

This item is discontinued.
Description
Overprotective in all the right ways, the Monterey is a full-featured, expandable high-back booster seat designed to fit growing children 40 lb to 120 lb. The adjustable head rest and deep, aluminum reinforced sides are lined with energy absorbing EPS foam for side impact protection and the reinforced seat bottom provides extra lap belt safety. This significantly strengthens the Monterey and provides superior defense against crash forces.

A simple-to-use dial on the back adjusts the width of the seat to fit a child’s shoulders up to 20" wide. The 11-position headrest gives ultimate flexibility and adjusts up to 6.5" in height with one hand for an easy, precise fit. As a fixed-position booster, integrated LATCH connectors and front adjusters allow for a safe and secure installation in seconds (LATCH use is optional) and keeps the seat in position when not in use.

The seat bottom has extra length for leg support and features thick AirTek? foam and tapered sides for total comfort. Retractable, dual cup holders are extra-deep and angled to keep drinks upright.

Monterey can also be used as a backless booster and packs flat for travel and storage.

Quick delivery-Easy to put together-Very comfortable!This is my 5 year olds first booster, she is able to buckle and unbuckle herself very easily! I love love love how this seat will grow with my daughter, she is quite petite, barley over the 40 pound requirement, when I put this seat on the smallest settings, it fits her like a glove!! This seat lines the seat belt perfectly across her lap and chest. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Happy with this seat

We've had our Monterey for about 2 weeks now. Overall, we like the seat. My daughter struggles to buckle on her own, but she's getting there. I figured that could be an issue with any seat. She's super happy with the Bloom color.

Great Seat

My daughter loves her new "big girl" seat, especially the color. I love that it still uses the latch clips so it doesn't slide all over. Great quality, love the cup holders and that it has side impact protection as well.

DIONO MONTEREY BOOSTER SEAT
October 16, 2012
This is the best booster seat, your child can fall asleep and thier head won't fall over and the seat sits very well and with the harness on the back that hook into the seat it keeps the seat steady where it doesn't move around like other booster seats do.

What is the width of the base of the seat and what is the smallest width you can adjust the wings to?
the width of the base from armrest to armrest is 19" (this is the widest) and this is without the cupholders attached. the seat "wings" start at 19" and they expand to 22.5"
