Diono Radian - does it fit well in the backseat of a car? Anyone with experience here?

Matrix has fairly decent room, but you should be leaving 1" clearance to the back of the seat in the rear-facing position so you will definitely have it somewhat forward. If your passenger seat usually has a 6'+ person in it they may not be particularly comfortable. Still, worth it to keep the seat rear-facing until 2. US is way behind changing their rear-facing recommendations.

This bag is specifically made for the diono seats. Unless your car seat comes apart to lay in an almost flat position I would say no. We have a JL Childress bag and love it. There is a lot of room for seats (a convertible and a newborn seat) and even extra storage space.

I've had a carseat on mine for a year and its holding up well. But the backseat cover doesn't stay in the back seat very well. Keeps coming off the corners

It is definitely not small, but it fits comfortably in the back of my VW Jetta. When I first got the seat, we were switching it from my car to my mom's when she would keep her. It was a giant pain in the rear. It's heavy and bulky, and just doesn't transfer well. We ended up buying another carseat for grandma's car.

Yes, definitely. Its not as big and bulky as some Recaros are. Its pretty standard, and you can tell it is solid and super convenient. We absolutely love it and as said, its the only car seat we have tried where the child sleeps perfect, which is a big deal for us.

I have a corolla and the car seat fits behind the driver, a little snug but I'm fine with it. I'm 5'3. You do need a little bit of clearance when taking the seat out.

I have a Nissan rogue and it's very tight in my backseat. It blocks my blind spot no matter where I put it. I love the car seat but it's definitely huge!

I have not. I use it in an Accord Coupe and the narrow size is very helpful when fitting my three kids in the back.

It's big. It fit fine in my minivan trunk but not so sure it would fit in my Nissan Altima trunk - I traded in my van in October. It is a little thinner without the second seat when folded which is what I have to do now. It can be a pain though to have to undo and redo the second seat all the time so I usually just opt to wear a kid and use my umbrella striller now.

It works great in the car. I'm not a small guy and the only issue I've had, is that, it's a little to soft and it gets squished. As for functionally it seems to get the job done. It has really helped my posture and my sciatic nerve.

I have it in a full size truck and a Nissan murano. I don't think it is as bulky as most convertible car seats so it's worth a shot in a sedan. I'm very satisfied with mine, that why I bought another for our second car. It's a five point harness, not a lap/shoulder belt.

I have two of these car seat covers---One for use on a Britax, but the other for use on a Diono Radian. It's not a "tight" fit on either, but the center front buckle hole helps keep it in place. The side "flaps" don't Velcro, they just go around the straps. It will inevitably shift a little (both seats), but it has a lined bottom & isn't hard to readjust, so I like it.

Absolutely! It is not one of those oversized car seats. I have a small car and it fits nicely in the backseat with an adult on either side.

I have the Alpha Omega from Costco and agree with what Keri said. The carseat does fit in the seat, but you'll definitely want to remove the cup holder, raise the arms, and maybe buy the person in the seat in front of your little one a drink, because they'll be getting kicked the entire flight.

You can fit 3 dionos across a mid size car. Not sure if an infant seat and 2 dionos would work since infant seats are typically bulkier at the base. I'm about to try an infant seat and 2 dionos across my ford explorer so I'll let you know!

It's a fairly heavy, sand bag style holder with a matted base. The 'wings' are flexible so can you squash it down between convolutions created by the instrument lights as on the Altima. I placed it on the passenger side which is a fairly steep contour and it remained firmly in place. I would agree that it will sit comfortably on any dash without slippage. I agree with florence, a big plus is you can simply lift it off the dash and tuck it into the console....I have complaints
