Britax Boulevard ClickTight: Rear-facing: 5–40 lb and 49″ or less. Forward-facing: 22–65 lb and 49″ or less (printed limits, same height cap both modes).
Diono Radian 3QXT: All-in-one (rear-facing → forward-facing harness → high-back booster; no backless mode found in manual). Sourced from Diono's "Radian 3Q SafePlus Series" manual, which covers 3QX SafePlus / 3QXT SafePlus / 3QXT FirstClass SafePlus together with shared weight/height requirements — this is Diono's current commercial name for what most retailers list simply as "Radian 3QXT" (confirmed via Diono's own store URL). No age gate printed for forward-facing (differs from the Radian 3RXT manual, which prints "at least 1 year old" — only the 22 lb weight floor applies here). Expired 10 years from date of purchase.
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.
