Diono Radian RXT Convertible Carseat in a C63?

Has anyone tried the Diono Radian RXT convertible carseat in the C63? I'm concerned about being able to fit this carseat in rear facing placement into the back of our cars. Any other recommendations for a rear facing convertible car seats?

Good luck with a convertible ones.

I just put in a Chicco Keyfit 30, which does go up to 30 pounds, and my 5'3" wife barely fits in the front seat with the baby seat behind her. No way that thing would ever go behind me.

You could always buy it at a Buy Buy Baby, try it out in the parking lot and return it if it doesn't fit.

The Peg Perego viaggio that my daughter sits in is a very tight fit already. I'm hoping to find something that will take up the similar amount of space or even less space. The angle of the Diono is a huge concern for me. I only thought that it will fit because some members have fit the Recaro's in their cars.

I have the diono radians in two cars including my 63, rear facing will basically render the seat in front of it useless

Forward facing is a dream, I can get three in a row in the e63

The chicco keyfit gets my vote too but will make the front passenger a tight squeeze

Does the "angle adjuster" (foam pad) add on make any difference?

I'm also going to look at the chicco keyfit this weekend.
