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.

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!!

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.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase of this carseat. I love everything about it from the fabric, to the styling, to the fit in the car. This carseat had by far one of the best designs in latch buckles and in harness adjustment. Plus the added safety of the side impact eased my mind. I know it costs a lot but those coupons you earn can help out. It was a perfect fit for my 9 month old that grew out of her carrier carseat (big girl). To top it off it arrived a month earlier than expected...which was awesome because I don't think my daughter would've made it much longer in her old seat.

Overall great seat, easy to install, very cute. However the straps are constantly getting twisted and I miss the hugs. I wish there was a hybrid between the diplomat and the roundabout. I want side impact w/ hugs. Oh well. I'm glad I got it and would recommend it.

I am so pleased with this seat! I had read all the reviews and done a bunch of research, but the actual product is so much better than I could have hoped for. I am so glad that I decided to spend a little bit more and get the Diplomat...my daughter is so comfortable, the seat is so secure, and it is SO easy to install and adjust. It is also a really attractive seat. It fits really well in all cars small and large, even in the rear facing, reclined position. If you are still hesitant on this carseat, definitely go for it...you won't regret it!

We love this seat.
It fits very snugly in our little scion XA 2006 and our one year old is
delighted to be finally looking forward. It's easy to setup, easy to strap the kid in and it looks comfy.

I am very pleased with this car seat! I spent so many hours researching them. This one is smaller than the Boulevard but has all the safety features. I have a minivan so space wasnt an issue. This seat is perfect! Its very attractive and easy to use. I had the police install it the first time si I could be sure I did it right. I was shocked at how easy it went in. It latched to the "latches" built into my seat. That thing isnt going anywhere. We make long road trips and this seat is so comfortable.

Great car seat. Love the adjustments. Very comfy for baby. Well worth the extra cost for this model. Fits into compact SUV well. Perfect.

I know this is a top-of-the-line car seat, and it is very plush and comfy and easy to adjust and all that, but the seat pads are not machine washable. Our baby threw up all over the seat the very first time we used it and then again a week later. It is very inconvenient to have a baby product that is not machine washable. Had I known this, I would have just got the Graco.
