Maybe I missed the boat, but did Sunshine Kids become Diono? I've been looking to purchase a new Radian and I'm seeing Diono Randians all over the place . . . did anything change about the seat besides the name?

Yes. They changed the name a few months ago - maybe 3-6? Anyway, apparently 'Sunshine Kids' doesn't translate well in some languages, so they went with Diono.

Same stuff - the Radian is now a 3-in-1 and makes a booster, but not much else is different.

Yes, it was at least 6 months ago.

If I remember correctly, Sunshine Kids was having some issues with the LATCH belts on some of the seats and the speculation was that they changed their name to avoid a recall and the fallout.
