We love it so far!
January 16, 2017
Love the seat, super comfortable. My son is 15 months and RFing still and my 4.5 year old can fit in if comfortably. We will never need another seat. The only con is how far back it reclines living little room for the front passenger, but I'm going to try and order the wedge!

I love this car seat! The open sides keep my almost three year old so comfortable rearfacing, and the pulley tightening makes it so we never put him in too tight
Pros
  • Easy to buckle

Great seat
December 19, 2016
Very impressed with this seat and the buckles. The memory foam is great, especially around the straps near the neck. I wish I would have got Diono for my other car seats! Lesson learned! Albee has great deals on Diono! Need a versatile car seat that last through the years and will travel well, get Diono!! Check out the next model up for a better head rest!
Pros
  • Memory foam, easy to use buckles, infant to 100+ pounds! YEARS of use!!
Cons
  • Don't be intimidated by the install. If the price seem high, wait for it to go on sale.

Diono Pacifica
September 16, 2016
Shipping was fast. Putting it together/ installing Was a little hard especially since I have a car it's a little big. It's very heavy but I feel so safe. My little boy didn't like the head piece so we took it off. And now he loves the car seat. He doesn't cry near as much on trips. I would definitely recommend this seat to everyone I know. You just feel so safe about it.

Great car seat, It's big, so check to see if it fits your vehicle first! Instructions were confusing.
July 7, 2016
Car seat is awesome, rated super well for safety and very well built. We have a 2006 Subaru Forester and when we tried to install the car seat it barely fit even with the front passenger seat all the way forward! Looking online after the fact, we found out that this model isn't a good fit for that year Forester, and we would have been better off with the smaller Radian.Fortunately, we discovered the angle adjuster foam pads that Diono makes, and after ordering one and installing it the front seat is useable again (still a bit tight!) If your vehicle is even slightly cramped, you probably need the angle adjuster.Our other difficulty was understanding the directions, they were very confusing. A quick youtube search for "installing a rear facing Diono Pacifica" got us several good videos and we were able to quickly scan through one to verify that we were following the installation instructions correctly.
Pros
  • the ratings say it is super safe, it lasts 12 years, and can hold up to 120 pounds!
Cons
  • its really big, and is not very transportable (a big jump from a small infant car seat that can be carted around with you)

Modern, comfy and great quality
December 24, 2014
Very comfy and snug for baby or toddler. My husband commented it is very high end quality and much better then the britax we had for our first child. Which my 3 year old son agrees and wishes it was for him and not his baby sister. Car seat will last a long time and we'll worth the price.
