Has anyone used this on a small car...I have a kia forte and am hoping it will be stable...dimensions are fine for it to fit but is it safe? Anyone?

We used it on a 2007 Toyota Corolla from Miami to Nashville. We had some light rain along the way and it was packed very full, but not very heavy. It did great!

as long as you have it secured properly it will work fine. The key is securing it to the roof top.

I have a Hyundai Accent that I have a roof rack for. I have used this bag with the rack and it works really great. I love this bag!

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.

I didn't notice any shaking at all. I don't think anything on your car is allowed to shake. Your condition is a hazard. IMO. I have Nissan 2.0 Sentra --- it fits.

I have no idea. I would say to be safe, measure the top of your Traverse vs. the dimensions of the product. I purchased this for a Kia Soul, we returned it because we ended up taking 2 extra kids on our trip and took my Expedition on the trip instead.

I still haven't worked how to use it correctly. I have A Nissan Patrol and the seats seem to be too wide. I think it only suits very small doge (toy poodle etc). Sorry I am not much help!

I have a KIA Optima SX that has the small flush-type "spoiler" - would that be ok? Its not a raised, off the trunk spoiler...please and thank you!

I have it on a Toyota Corolla and wish it were wider. Not sure you would be happy with it, nor do I think it is wide enough. Good luck.

I don't know if it will fit on your car. I have a small car and I had plenty of room for it. Had no problems getting in anyone's way inside the car. Just be sure to secure straps outside. If not, they could get a little noisy but not enough to make you crazy. We were very pleased with this and will use it again this summer.

I have tried and tried to use this ramp with my side door and it is just impossible. The o ly way I can only get it to fit when I open my back hatch and have my lab get into my car. that way. **I have a Kia Soul. (However I still love the ramp!)

No, sorry. We have a SUV but I don't see why it wouldn't fit in a small car.

Hi, I have a coupe and it fit pretty well. I wouldn't say perfect though because my car has the GPS and the installers had to make some mods to make it fit but it looks good. I think it would fit nicer if your car doesn't have the in-dash GPS. I would offer to send you pictures but I'm not in the country right now to take them for you. Let me know if you have any other questions =)

I have used mine on different cars, Kia, Jeep. No problems as yet and love it. Knowing my Bentley is safe and can have window open but he can't jump out. :)

Not sure we have it in a Kia Forte and it could be a "little" larger to hang over the edges more, but do love the quality.

It fits pretty flush and tight. In my Kia Soul, I could not remove it with my fingers, and I had to remove it with a pair of pliers. In my Scion xD, I was able to remove it with my fingers without any issues.I think that this is best left in the socket semi-permanently. It may be a pain if you plan on putting it in and removing it ad-hoc.

I don't know but I can only imagine your car is smaller than my Kia Sorento, and it fits nicely in mine.

Well, I can attest to the fact that it fits in a Dodge Dakota and a Kia Sorento with no problem, but on both vehicles the passenger seat had to be moved up a bit to make room in order to get the seat to the right leveling position. Does the Kia Rio have a LATCH setup for the center of the back seat? If so, that might be the best way to mount the seat. You might also want to look at the Cosco Scenera seat. That is similar to this one, but without the built-in cupholders so it has a smaller profile.

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...
