AM I NUTS!? 🥜

Question

GUYS!! I just got pregnant with my 3rd baby!! We were successful on my first cycle 🥰 
With my first son I had NO IDEA about car seat safety. I bought a used cheap seat and forward faced my oldest way too young (KILL ME! 😭😭😭) SO now I’m obsessed with getting the ULTIMATE SAFEST seats I can afford. 
My second born is in a rear facing Maxi Cosi which is just super bulky. My car is an older little SUV and I am ultimately going to need 3 car seats and is Black Friday not going to be the best time to bite the bullet?? I honestly am tempted to buy all 3 dionos so I can get matchy matchy (OCD OVER HERE!!!) and also to make sure they fit. If it’s likely I can get the same price later on, and I could get the same color, I may space the purchases out a bit. I mean they are going to be a big purchasing 3 and I still have 8 months to go 😂
I am just still nesting from my recent baby (still EBFing, and nesting never stopped...heheh).  Having the car seats would make me feel like we are golden for having our new addition 🥰🥰🥰 I’m overly excited, OK 😅🤰🏻

Answer

I’m not sure about Diono, but I have 4 Clek seats and got them all on sale. Most of them we bought in March/April when they were clearing out the current model year and getting ready to release the next year. One of them we bought in August during a big sale (I don’t even remember why there was a sale). 
So you certainly could get all 3 seats now if you can easily afford it all at once, but if it’s going to be stretch for you, you could certainly get one or two now and watch for when they go on sale again. 
By the way, if you haven’t looked at Clek you might want to before you settle on Diono. We have to he Clek Fllo and love it. It’s just as narrow as the Diono seats so it’s great for fitting 3 across, plus it has built in seatbelt lock offs (which the Diono doesn’t) making it easier instal via seatbelt - instead of LATCH - and seatbelt installation is often necessary with any seat to fit 3 in a row.

Answer

I didn’t get those exact car seats buuuut I’m currently pregnant too and we just bought our sons car seat today on a Black Friday sale and figured hey the one we’ve been wanting for our 2 year old was on sale too so why not!🤷🏻‍♀️ 
If ya got the money, go for it! I feel super accomplished getting both of them new ones today 😂

Answer

I have 3 Diono’s in both my husband and my car. We just bought my mother in law anotherone for her car. We love them

Answer

Check the car seat blogs for fit because they don’t always fit tiny newborns perfectly 😬 but since they are marketed for newborn-child I would get all three so they can fit. Then the other car seat can go in another car or with relatives/friends as back up

Answer

My third is due next week and we just had our car seat installation inspection for three in a row in our Subaru. I replaced my two Britax seats with Diono Radians and can still fit our Graco click connect bucket infant seat. I’ll be waiting another year to purchase a third diono for when she outgrows the infant seat.

Answer

If you have the money then go for it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Especially if there are sales

Answer

Omg lol I mean if you can afford it now why not?! I’m pregnant with #4 and my youngest is in a Diono Radian and I love it! It doesn’t take up a lot of space in the seat area... it does take up a lot of room behind the front seats rear facing though... I’m definitely planning on getting another for the new babe at some point. (My older 2 are 9&7 so only in boosters now)
