I'll be living near no one as well mysel fin a few months. :) Good luck and I hope you get to find somewhere to try them out. They are such great car seats.

I live in Western NC, and don't live near any friends... Ha. That seems so sad, typing it out. Thanks for the suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845426 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:15:52 +0000 erwoo 845426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: You can always call Diono and ask them to give you a list of stores that carries it in your area? Worth a shot. I would let you try mine if you live near me! Or ask around on your FB to see if anyone has it in your area and if they would mind letting you try it in your car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845394 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:01:05 +0000 LindsayInNY 845394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Haha, unfortunately that's not an option! We just got this one six months ago after our previous one was totaled during Hurricane Sandy. So if it means DH will be the one driving then so be it. Hopefully, we'll find an option that works instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845374 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:53:47 +0000 allison 845374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yeah, I hear ya. Looks like you might just have to get a new vehicle, when the time comes :/.</p> <p>To be honest, I'm kind of excited about the prospect of getting a minivan one day! They look so convenient and I definitely wouldn't be worrying about all this if I had one now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845363 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:51:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 845363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Friends of ours had the same problem. He was too tall to sit in the passenger seat when their LO was behind that seat. So he always had to drive. DH drives a lot more than I do but I'd still like to have the option. I would just prefer to buy one thing and not have to replace everything at every stage of life (if possible). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845350 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:47:09 +0000 allison 845350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Ah, gotcha. You can always just do a infant seat first. We have a Maxi Cosi Mico, and it fits in the middle (and on the side I'm sitting on because I'm only 5'1", but DH is tall and can't sit in front of it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845346 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:44:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 845346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Too far down the road to know, LOL. We're still TTC! The whole car issue is something I didn't consider when we bought the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845334 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:41:22 +0000 allison 845334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Are you wanting to use the convertible from birth?</p> <p>LO has good head control, and hasn't quite outgrown his infant seat yet. I'm thinking we can make it at least another month in it. And I think once he can sit up on his own for a decent amount of time, I'm going to go ahead and put him in the Radian with the angle adjuster. </p> <p>From car-seats.org: "The Diono engineers have said they were just being very conservative to make sure no one used it with a very young baby without head control."</p> <p>Also, here's a thread showing the seat installed without and with the angle adjuster. Definitely a huge difference! After seeing those photos, I'm pretty confident it would not fit without the adjuster. <a href="http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=248908" rel="nofollow">http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=248908</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-845321 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:33:38 +0000 LindsayInNY 845321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: We just bought our Jeep in November and started TTC shortly after...

I'm holding out hope that it could fit in the middle, so it would extend in between the two front seats.

I think the Altima is pretty comparable in size to our Sonata? Let me know the year and I'll look up the specs, but the Radian is fine without the adjuster in the Sonata. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-843599 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:19:09 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 843599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: @LindsayInNY: </p> <p>I have an '09 Honda CR-V and we had to get the angle adjuster in order to avoid pulling the seat in front of the Radian alllll the way up. I'm 5'8" and it definitely was not comfortable for me to be in front of the Radian in the front passenger seat without the adjuster.</p> <p>Since they're both small SUVs, I figured space might be comparable in our cars. I just looked up the front and rear legroom measurements for my CR-V and the '07 Liberty, and the Liberty had a little less space for both. So, obviously it's not as firm an answer as one from an owner, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that you would need the adjuster. I know that's not what you want to hear, but I hope it's helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-the-diono-radian-rxt-fit-rf-in-my-jeep-liberty#post-843326 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:31:48 +0000 runsyellowlites 843326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you get an answer!

I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty, want to get this seat, but need to install it RF without the angle adjuster (LO is 4 months old). I'm pretty sure it would fit WITH the angle adjuster, but unsure about without. I'd install it in the middle.</p> <p>Does anyone have a 07 or older Liberty with the Radian RXT RF without the angle adjuster? Please say yes! </p>
