How do I tell the difference between a Diono Radian 100 vs. Diono Radian 120? Over the years I've bought 3 diono radian car seats. How can I tell if they are Diono Radian 100 or Diono 120's? I think I have atleast one of each but not sure how to tell the difference.

Hi! Checking the labels on the seats will let you know. There are side labels that state the limits, and there should be a label on, if I recall correctly, the bottom, with model and date made listed.

Everything KQ said, other than the sticker is about halfway down the side of the seat. Not on the bottom. It's on the child's left, halfway down or so, by the forward facing belt path. It'll have the model number, but not name. The stickers on the side of the seat will tell you which has a 45 pound limit and which has a 40 pound limit for rear facing.

Okay let me elaborate. My best friend used to work out of their Sumner office in 2017 so I know these seats quite well. There is a weight difference between the two of them. The r120 is the beefed up r100 basically. The r120 can go up to 45lbs while the r100 can only go up to 40lbs in rear-facing mode. They launched a new line this year so I can't really compare the new line, but they are identical to the old line.
