We have a 2012 Jeep Patriot and I'm wondering if the angle of this seat will work for rear facing?

We have it rear facing in a 4-door wrangler. Its not terribly comfortable sitting in the seat in front but for short rides its not a problem.

YES, we did it with our Patriot Latitude and I have a friend whose baby is RF in a 2010 Patriot. It is a tight fit, but I can get a super tight latch in any position in the back seat, including three across (as long as you use two radians the third seat can be a bit bigger) and either FF or RF. The front seat will not be able to go all the way back, but as long as you are not super tall it will be fine. I am 5'8" and had no problems. LOVE my radians.

I had to get se a rolled up towel in my car to get the angle right for rear facing. haven't used as forward facing yet. just make sure you roll it tight and put it right in the crack.

There are instructions in the manual for both lap-shoulder belt and lap belt installations for rear and forward facing. After installation if the car seat is not at the angle you want, there is an angle adjuster you can buy.

I think so...I have a regular car seat n it's a little snug...so it should be able to fit the rear facing car seat...

No, Diono says that it's only for rear facing - the seat I have has it's own recline that can be adjusted

Yes you can fit a rear facing one in hatchback 3 but passenger seat will be pushed so far up . Both could fit but not side by side

Yes this will face rear. We bought it as a present for EMT's who had a baby.

I bought this as a front facing car seat for my 3 year old special needs daughter. I have not seen anywhere that it can be rear facing. It is not a convertible seat.

I bought it and used it for front, but I'm curious to know if it works for the rear as well.

My husband has a 2012 Jeep Liberty and I have 2012 Ford Escape. We use this car seat rear-facing in both of those, and we put it in the center. We have to use the angle adjuster purchased separately for there to be enough room. Also, if we wanted to install it behind one of the front seats instead of in the center, the front seat would have to be moved up significantly. Not sure that it would fit in a compact car, but alot of it has to do with the shape of the front seats. I would suggest finding a store that sells them locally where you can actually try it out.

Forward facing with no problem at all. Rear facing you may have more trouble. I had to put ours on the passenger side back seat bc my husband needed more left room to drive and the seat wouldn't allow the front seats the slide back. We have a BMW 325i

It will definitely fit front facing. It might rear facing, but you will probably have to slide the front passenger seat all the way forward. You can purchase an angle adjuster, and that will help.

Sorry, used ours on rear facing seat, so can't answer your question about bucket seats.

The angle adjuster definitely helps but rear facing no the seat is rather tall and will impede in a small car. I drive a Kia Soul and when we were still rear facing we had the car seat in the middle of the back seat. It's perfectly safe there and we had no issues adjusting the front seats.

Yes, i think so. Still using it rear facing though you may want to contact the manufacturer.

Rear facing, Not unless the driver is short and the seat is moved forward a bit. This is a fantastic seat but massive.
