Diplomat Convertible Car Seat (Onyx)True Side Impact Protection for Advanced Security
Offering True Side Impact Protection, the Diplomat Convertible Car Seat delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact accident. If such an event takes place, the solid head support and deep side walls work efficiently to distribute crash forces, shield the child from vehicle intrusion, contain the head and body, and keep the head, neck, and spine aligned to limit injury.

Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
In addition to True Side Impact Protection, the Diplomat offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the easy-adjust, tangle-free five-point harness offers infinite harness height adjustments for a snug, custom fit.

For additional protection, an energy-absorbing EPS foam liner and energy-absorbing base absorb and distribute forces in the event of an unexpected impact.

Superior Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Diplomat reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, and an infant body pillow for a custom fit, they'll always ride in style and comfort.

Superior Ease of Use for Safety and Convenience
For quick adjustments, the Diplomat features an easy-turn knob that changes the headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the straps. Premium push-button lower LATCH connectors provide a simple and tight installation, while built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt so that the car seat does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.

Compact Design Fits in Small Back Seats
Measuring 17.7 x 24.1 x 22.1 inches (W x L x D), the Diplomat is compact enough to fit into vehicles with small backseats.

The Britax Diplomat Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Onyx and Cowmooflage.
