Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Diono Radian 3RXT SafePlus car seat, consider the following general advice:

• Harness Adjustment: If the harness is difficult to tighten or loosen, ensure no straps are twisted or caught in the car seat mechanism. The harness should be snug against your child's body, with the chest clip at armpit level.
