Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Specially designed for use in smaller vehicles, the Diplomat from Britax is a compact, convertible car seat that's comfortable for baby on long drives, easy for parents to work with and--most importantly!--safe. It fits children weighing five to 35 pounds in rear facing and one year and up to 40 pounds in forward facing, with both positions able to accommodate a standing height of up to 40 inches.
Proper Positioning for a Safe, Comfortable Ride
Proper positioning helps keep your child secure in the car, and that's why the Diplomat is chock full of features that ensure your child is seated and strapped in at the safest angle. An easy-turn knob quickly adjusts headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, while the tangle-free, five-point harness ensures a snug and secure fit at multiple heights. There's also a rear-and forward-facing recline option and soft body pillow for child comfort and proper positioning. Convenient belt holders keep the harness to the side so you can comfortably place child in the seat, and premium push-button LATCH connectors provide a quick, simple and tight installation. Finally, built-in lock-off clips tightly secure the vehicle seat belt without the need for additional parts you could misplace.
HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Diplomat truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. In addition, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.

True Side Impact ProtectionTM and Versa-Tether for Peace of Mind
The Companion also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. Secondly, the rear- and forward-facing recline allows the patented Versa-Tether, an energy management top tether, to anchor the top of seat to the vehicle in the event of impact, thereby reducing movement. Specifically, the Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, minimizing the possibility of a head injury. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat consistently stable.

Great Roundabout Safety with added Side Impact bonus and Beautiful Pattern,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Britax Diplomat Convertible Car Seat Taylor (Baby Product)
This is a miniaturized version of Britax Boulevard in a Roundabout body. It is easy to install with a seat belt since we decided to install it on the rear middle seat of our Volvo XC90(as sugested by consumer report magazine). It is super easy to get my daughter in and out. I would recommend this product over Roundabout series. Only draw back I can think of is, if your baby is on the large side, this seat may be little tight. My daughter is on the skinny side(19lbs,29") and she fits perfectly in the seat.We just love the pretty design and pattern of this seat! I am sure glad Britax came out with the Diplomat.

Thank Goodness!!! Finally!!,
This review is from: Britax Diplomat Convertible Car Seat Taylor (Baby Product)
Ok, I had been searching frantically for our next car seat as my 11 month old daughter was on the verge of popping out of her Infant seat. I have a smaller car, a VW Jetta and my husband has a larger car. So, when we started looking we wanted a car seat that we felt 100% comfortable with having our daughter in (since we live in LA) and one that both my husband and I liked as far as color. We were set on getting the Brittax Roundabout until I went to the store and found this one. Without hesitation I purchased 2, both in Taylor and then my mom went out and bought the same one. I have to say that I love it!!! My daughter is in the 20-25% percentile so I want her rear facing for as long as possible and I can do this with this seat located in the middle of the back seat. She adjusted to this seat so easily from her infant seat and has no problems falling asleep in it either. If your looking for a car seat that has top saftey ratings, is easy to install, has a fantastic design, and has subtle clean line fabrics than look no further. My only advice is this, if your child is over the 50% percentile than buy the Boulevard, but if your child is under that then this would be right for you. Yes it is a bit pricey, but if ever there was a place to spend money it's here!! This is one place where skimping could be costly!!

Great for small cars - lives up to description,
By First time mother (West Hartford, CT) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Britax Diplomat Convertible Car Seat Taylor (Baby Product)
We have a small car, and ordered this based on descriptions that it would be a smaller Britax that would fit in smaller cars. The car the seat is installed in is a Saab 92-X (wagon), which is built off the Subaru Impreza, and we have learned from several online car seat sites as well as in person from car seat sales people that Subarus are a tight fit and that many car seat models cannot be safely installed in these vehicles without losing use of the front passenger seat. We were able to fit this seat in rear-facing on a passenger side very nicely (seat works rear-facing to 35 lbs, up to 40 lbs front facing). If you are not inclined to change your vehicle -- and possibly give up use of your front passenger seat -- just because a car seat cannot be properly/safely installed, look into this seat! Disclaimer: We have not yet had the seat installation inspected by a traind car seat installation expert (such as local police), but I can tell based on how this seat compares with our previous one that it will be a good fit even if we need to tweak the installation for added safety.
