Good for you if you have a high percentile child.
The Diono Solana booster is great for your big kid, andone of our favorites for high percentile kids for two main reasons. First, it has high limits of 120 pounds and 63 inches. Many boosters have 57″ limits, even though only about half of the kids who reach 57″ can fit into the adult seat belt properly. This backless booster also has a wider seat pan than many boosters so it can accommodate a larger child without causing them discomfort.

Airplane Use
Like all boosters, the Diono Solana does NOT have aircraft approval. But because it is so small, this is still a great option when traveling via airplanes. You can have it under the seat in front of you or stick it in one of your bags, it’s just not suitable for installation on the airplane.

SITS Bottom Line
This is a great, inexpensive booster option for any child who is mature enough to sit properly and is at least 40 pounds. But it’s especially great for even the kids who are high percentile for height and/or weight. The cup holders are a nice added feature. If you are looking for a seat to fit in a three across configuration though, this is probably not the booster you want to buy.
