Diono Solana Backless Booster 2-Pack - Lightweight, Machine Washable

Our review of the Diono Solana backless booster 2-pack finds these seats best for families who need a lightweight, portable solution to keep older children safely belt-positioned across multiple vehicles. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: two compact boosters that raise children to proper seat belt height, are easy to move between cars and trunks, and have machine washable covers for fast cleanup after spills. For parents who want a simple, dependable booster without extra shells or latches, the Solana offers practical value.

Key Features

• Belt-positioning booster: Designed to position the vehicle seat belt correctly for children from 40 - 120 lb or up to 63 in tall, which helps improve lap and shoulder belt fit.
• Pack of two: Two boosters provide flexibility to leave a spare in a second car or trunk so parents are not caught without a proper seat for a big kid.
• Lightweight design: The low mass makes them easy to move between vehicles and convenient for travel or visiting family and friends.
• Machine washable covers: Removable covers that go in the wash simplify cleanup after snacks, spills, or everyday use.
• Dual cup holders: Elasticated cup holders hold drinks and small snacks during trips so refreshments stay within reach and reduce mess.
• Tested to high standards: Diono reports testing beyond standard requirements, offering added reassurance about safety performance.

Who It's For

The Solana 2-pack suits families with children who have outgrown harnessed car seats and need a backless booster from roughly 40 lb up to 120 lb or up to 63 in tall. They are especially useful for households that swap a child between vehicles, travel frequently, or want a spare booster to keep with grandparents.

Families seeking a high-back booster with integrated head support or a seat that remains installed between uses should look elsewhere; this model is backless by design and intended for kids who already have adequate head and torso support from the vehicle seat.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight and portable, making transfers between cars simple.
• Two-seat pack offers convenience and reduces the chance of being without a booster.
• Machine washable, easy-remove covers make cleanup straightforward after messes.
• Elasticated dual cup holders keep drinks and snacks accessible without bulky hardware.

Cons

• As a backless booster, it does not provide head or upper torso support, so it is not ideal for younger children who need additional containment.
