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.

Yes. The instructions say to recline it completely before installing it rear facing.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about fitment...my best advice would be to see if the Patriot and Wrangler come with the same jack from the factory. You could probably find out online, if not maybe a Jeep dealer's parts dept can tell you. Good luck.

If it is being used as rear facing, yes. Forward facing, it might, but I am not as certain.

Yes. It can be used for rear facing. Just make sure you can access the wires that will come out the bottom of the device through the poles that go into the seat. Hope that makes sense!

I drive a fit with two of this seat installed. One is rear facing and the other front facing. I (6'4") don't fit well in front of the rest facing seat, but I can make it work. My wife (5'4") fits fine. The front facing seat behind me is no issue

I have a 2014 jeep patriot. No issues opening/closing the hatch with the rack on it. I have even open/closed it with my bike on it. Make sure you hold onto the hatch though. It is too heavy to stay open by itself. At least on my car.

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

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

You'll probably want to use this one: Diono Super Mat Deluxe, Black instead since the angle adjuster is for rear facing which means you would not need the full mat back. I'm sure you can use it, but it seems like a better fit for the seat while it's rear facing would be the shorter model. We just purchased one today for a rear facing seat. We have 4 of the full mats for the 4 Dionos we have forward facing. The mat is great and saves the leather seating.

I have a Hyundai Santa Fe and it's rear facing for my grandson show it three months old and it works perfectly. Depending on who the seat is behind. In the case of my son (his father) who is 6 ft. 5 in. he would not be able to have it behind him as a driver because he needs the seat back so far.

It is rear facing and it is easy to install. Great car seat, we've had our son in it for several months now.

This is not the model that Curt recommends. Check out their website for the options. Link below for your Jeep. I have bought 3 Curt hitches on Amazon, and always find the correct one on Curt's website, then go over to Amazon to purchase since its much cheaper here.http://www.curtmfg.com/HitchLookup/find?mount=Rear+Mount&year;=2010&make;=Jeep&model;=Patriot&style;=All

Yes, it is not as reclined as our Graco baby carrier seat, but much better than upright (which is not recommended for rear facing.)

We have ours rear-facing in a VW Tiguan (a smaller SUV), and it doesn't obstruct our view, but we put it on the left side of the car, not the middle seat, for this very reason. The seat is very tall and quite large. That being said, it's the best on the market and we love it.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

It is 100% compatible with every Jeep Patriot from 2008-2013. http://www.curtmfg.com/part/56162
