Red mark on back from Radian?

fyrfightermomma · Dec 2, 2011

So Joey got a Diono RXT about a week ago and we've been using it since then. I've noticed he gets pretty fussy after a while and then I noticed the last few times I've taken him out and looked at his back he had a big red mark like something was pushing on it right in the middle of his back. Maybe 2" x 3".

I have felt around and looked and I can't see anything hard that could be jabbing him.

Anyone else had this?

Do you have the red folding strap behind the cover?

That's what I was thinking too. If it is a bit bunched up, not flat under the cover it might be pushing into him a bit.

No I have not noticed this as a problem. I mention this only because my kids have super sensitive skin and any pressure would show up on them as a red mark. I have the red strap folded in their nicely and out of the way, though.

Ds often complains about his back hurting, he doesn't get a red mark (b/c of his coloring possibly), its about where the red strap is, but it isn't scrunched up or anything, and I can't cut it off b/c we need it for traveling to carry the seat in the airport and whatnot.

I went back and looked and yes the red strap was there. But it was laying flat. Could it still leave a mark laying flat? I figured under the cover it wouldn't be an issue. What am I supposed to do with it? No matter what I do its there lol

Maybe you guys could point the red strap up rather than letting it hang down? Maybe that would help?

Seems to do the same thing, I've tried it in a variety of positions.
