Does anyone know how well a Radian XTSl fits RF in a 2001 Mitsubshi Eclipse?

How old is the child using the Radian?
If the child is older and has good head control it can be installed more upright, however the Radian has such a tall shell it may render your front seat useless. I do know that some of the shorter shelled seats (like Britax, the Myride, and possibly the true fit) will fit RF for an older child with head control. I have had my Marathon in an 02 Eclipse before, the passanger was way too close to the dash for my comfort and it was installed rather upright, IIRC about 30-35 degrees.

With such a tiny backseat I cannot imagine a Radian fitting 
Depending on the age, weight and height of your child I would recommend the Safety First Complete Air or EFTA because both seats can installed at a 30 degree angle

Ummm it really doesn't
My brother had an 01 Eclipse. I could barely get a MA RFing upright behind the pass. seat and still have someone sit in front. I can't imagine a Radian fitting back there. It can be more upright for an older child, but the problem with the Radian is the whole getting it upright thing. In many cars, it's just not possible.
So maybe if no one was in the pass. seat, but other than that, honestly, I haven't tried, but I couldn't imagine a Radian back there
If there's any other seat you own, I would try that after trying the Radian. Hopefully something will fit!
