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. 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!

Yes. It is convertible, so it can be installed to either be rear or front facing.

Yes. I have used it in the back seat of two trucks, rear facing without any problems.

521-108 Control Arm And Ball Joint Assembly - Suspension Control Arm Front Lower Right (passenger) Application Summary: Dodge Caliber 2012-07, Jeep Compass 2013-07, Jeep Patriot 2013-07 (521-109 is left or driver side) Change them both. You will need a pry bar (not flat, but round--like a very large toothpick) to align the bolt holes under tension. Tater answered on February 15, 2014

We have a rear facing convertible car seat and it fits no problems. I would look at the measurements. Ours is one of the largest on the market ( recaro euro) and has no problems fitting, however, our maxi cosi pria does not fit as it is 2 inches too wide.

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've used it with a 3 in 1 convertible car seat that does rear and front facing. I've also used it with an infant car seat. It's pretty big.

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.

Yes, we have the seat for our granddaughter. We used it rear facing until she was 2 and then turned it forward facing.

For my jeep patriot they fit both the front and back. There is a little flex to them so if the shape of the fender is close, as on my patriot, they might fit both. If you have a different vehicle, you may want to try some other sites to see if there is more info on the fit. When I bought mine, the best price was on amazon.

It really is a great car seat. It does recline for the rear facing position.

Yes, we use it for our rear facing car seat. We just hang it from the headrest of the seat.

Rear Facing? Not sure about the hybrid but I've had it RF in the center seat of a Camry and Corolla. The passenger would be uncomfortable if it was on the sides though, even with the angle adjuster.

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

Hi! We've never used our carseat for rear facing so I really can't efficiently answer that question . Forward facing however is a snap . My husband installed in less than 10 mins.
