Car Seat Recommendations? Second Row, Front Facing.

The Diono can be put in a 'recline mode' when front-facing. Not sure you were aware of that. It's still on the upright side, though. Although my 3yo has no trouble sleeping in it, especially after we made it recline.
I have Diono Radian as well, however i would not use it for 2 year olds
I have 3 kids, 6yo, 3yo, 1yo
Diono is too tall for anyone smaller than 3
It is tough to sleep in it while front facing in Tesla, it's too upright, and head does not reach headrest (not adjustable)
I have Amazon.com : RECARO 2015 Proride Convertible Car Seat, Misty : Baby
for my younger ones.
Very comfortable

I don't agree. Both my kids started using the Diono radian/sunshine kids XTSL (their old name) close to 2yo (a little over and a little under, IIRC). The headrest is adjustable, you just need to use some force, it's very tight, but it does move up and down.

I guess the version i got 2 yrs ago did not have adjustable headrest
Amazon.com : Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat, Storm : Convertible Child Safety Car Seats : Baby
The newer model does:
Amazon.com : Diono Rainier Convertible Plus Booster with Adjustable Head Support, Graphite : Baby
In any case, i'm not sure the seatback position is as comfortable as Recaro's i listed above
While my 3yo is fine in Diono, he still feels a lot more comfortable in Recaro
Just my $0.02
 
How did you get the Clek Foonf and the Combination Harness 2-Booster to fit in the back seat? I have the next generation seat and the seat width at the smallest is 11.25 inches. I was thinking of going with the Diono Rainer because the base is 11 inches wide.
