Angle Adjuster Rev B?

Brigala · May 4, 2012

I just got a new angle adjuster today. It's different from the one I already have! The surface is more porous rather than smooth. It also seems to be a different shade of black; less charcoal-like.

Did anybody know about this change?

Cryssy Jane · May 4, 2012

hmm nope didn't know. I do know that my AA that's been in use for a few months is already starting to fall apart.

eta: can you take pictures to show the differences?

creideamh · May 4, 2012

Where'd you buy it?

christineka · May 4, 2012

Glad I didn't rush out and buy the first generation! I only didn't because I didn't get around to it. I really wanted one, though.

Interesting! Mine got delivered today. I wonder if it's the same. Did you order from Amazon? I haven't seen the original to compare it to, but I can post some pics tonight if nobody does before.

Brigala · May 4, 2012

Yes, it's from Amazon.

I can take pictures but I'd have to uninstall the seat that's using the older-style one. Maybe if I just post pics of the new one, can someone else post pics of the old one?

Mine is falling apart too, I just order a new one from amazon but hasn't arrived yet

Brigala · May 4, 2012

Ok, here's a picture of the new one:

It has more text on the front. For one thing it says it's been tested for colorfastness but they won't guarantee that it won't discolor some upholstery with prolonged use.

Instead of the soft, suedy kind of feel this feels a little more porous, kind of like the texture of a pool noodle.

Sorry I haven't had time to grab my old one for a side-by-side comparison. My daughter is refusing naps today.

creideamh · May 4, 2012

AWESOME.

thepote · May 4, 2012

I just got one, too. I figured the wording about the colorfastness was new since it didn't come up when people were discussing the seats being damaged. I hadn't seen the old one in person so I was trying to figure out how the heck that thing could rub color off.

Yeah, it's a bunch of layers of hard pool noodle material. The side view is a lot of layers fused together.

Wonder if we complain if Diono will send us a new one for free? Mine is good so far, but I only just go it, so it's interesting (and impressive) that they've already made changes to them...

Same here. I bought 2 originally, so I still have another one to get through before buying this new version.

Brigala · May 4, 2012

I had two of the original ones also. I ended up selling my 2nd one (which I hadn't used yet) to someone who needed it - it's kind of optional in my Civic so I could live without it long enough to replace it. Now I'm kinda glad... I don't know that this one will be better, necessarily but if I hadn't done that I would't have known.

I ended up buying a Diono Ultramat to go under my Radian and AA in the Suburban because I didn't want the AA to rub off on the leather.

All the damaged one. Are you guys calling diono and letting them know?

Brigala · May 7, 2012

For what it's worth, my original style one hasn't started falling apart... yet...

Interesting that you posted this. I really hope they will replace the old ones. Mine is a few months old (maybe 3 or 4?) and I was taking DD's seat out to clean today and noticed a chunk or two missing and it's quite compressed where the seat sits on it.

HaileysMommy · May 7, 2012

I only used one for a few weld before I sold out radians but dd was able to catch her heel on mine and take a chunk out of it

This new one sounds sturdier.
