Chicco GoFit Plus vs Diono Solana 2

Both are booster car seats — here are their published manufacturer specs side by side.

This compares published manufacturer specs — not safety or fit advice. The seat's manual, your vehicle's manual, NHTSA's tools and a certified CPST are the fit-and-safety authority; always check them before installing.

How they differ

• the Diono Solana 2 is listed narrow (roughly ≤17″) for fitting three across a back seat; the Chicco GoFit Plus isn't listed narrow

Published limits

Chicco GoFit Plus: The manual states one range for the seat (40–110 lb, 38–57″, 4+) across highback and backless use. Useful life is set by a “Do Not Use After” date on the label, not a printed number of years.

Diono Solana 2: Backless booster only (no high-back mode). No age requirement printed. Expired over 8 years from date of purchase (printed number, per manual). Weight/height range happens to match Diono's Monterey 4DXT (same booster weight class), sourced independently from Solana 2's own dedicated manual.

Printed verbatim in the manufacturer's manual (Chicco GoFit Plus · Diono Solana 2 Backless Booster Instruction Manual); “—” = not published for that mode, “not yet sourced” = we haven't read that manual yet, not that the seat has no limit. How we source these →

Recall record

Chicco — 2 on NHTSA's record · Diono — 2 on NHTSA's record.

That is the record of the brand — not a verdict on these models. A recall names specific models and manufacture-date ranges, and a seat missing from the record is not "recall-free": check nhtsa.gov/recalls with the model and date of manufacture on your seat's label.
