This compares published manufacturer specs — not safety or fit advice. The seat's manual, your vehicle's manual, NHTSA's tools and a certified CPST are the fit-and-safety authority; always check them before installing.

Published limits

Diono Solana 2: Backless booster only (no high-back mode). No age requirement printed. Expired over 8 years from date of purchase (printed number, per manual). Weight/height range happens to match Diono's Monterey 4DXT (same booster weight class), sourced independently from Solana 2's own dedicated manual.

Recall record

Britax — 21 on NHTSA's record · Diono — 2 on NHTSA's record.

That is the record of the brand — not a verdict on these models. A recall names specific models and manufacture-date ranges, and a seat missing from the record is not "recall-free": check nhtsa.gov/recalls with the model and date of manufacture on your seat's label.
