Does anyone have photos of a seat-belt installed, rear-facing Radian ?
How about a seat-belt installed, rear-facing Intera without the base ?

Preferably outboard.

Sorry I don't have any pictures but if you've seen the Radian IRL you'll note that there is an added "foot" that is mandatory for use RF. Since the shell is so tall, with the foot it puts the seat at a reclined angle and the seat takes up a lot of room RF. Definitely wouldn't fit in our cars.

The Intera I managed to install RF both center and outboard (without the huge base) in my VW Golf, it was pretty easy and had a decent angle. I ended up not keeping it because it was kind of pricey and I couldn't fit 3 seats in my car. So new car it is, with 2 FF Radians and a RF Regal Ride.

I'm not sure if this is any help but I think a good bet would be the Intera RF and a Radian FF.

Is there a particular area you want to look at? I have rear-facing Intera, the base is off, it's installed with the seatbelt, outboard, but this is the only pic I have right now.

I wouldn't mind taking more pics if there is something specific you are looking for.

I have one of a RFing Radian in my sisters Jeep Liberty w/seatbelt, and a BAD install in the center of my VUE with the seatbelt. (LATCH works in the center, but the seatbelt is incompatible RFing and FFing.)

They are here:

Rfing in center Liberty (good!- two pics)

Hope they help!

ETA:
My RFing Radian actually fit quite well into a Subaru Forrester outboard. I was VERY surprised that there was enough room.

Well, I have this thing under it -

It's this - http://www.kiddieproofers.com/product_details.asp?Product_Code=KP1050&Category=Auto Safety
it's made of the same stuff as pool noodles so I am perfectly comfortable using it. It is the only way I kept our A/O in the right place, when Katy was RF in it.

Funny - that's the same exact thing I wondered when I saw that picture! I would LOVE to take mine off the base, but there's no way it will stay upright, especially with the way R pushes against the back of the seat with her feet!

OK here we go. They still aren't the best pictures-too much sunlight lol
I use a locking clip on my belt as we have a '00 dodge grand caravan and the lightweight locking latchplates are a joke, so after I get it in there good and tight, I take just a smidge more slack out of the belt before installing the locking clip. Then, I wrestle it in. It's more reclined than it needs to be for 18mth old DS, but he doesn't complain so I'm going by the old saying "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"

And please excuse my bag of trash...the trash is all paper atleast.

And that doesn't fall over ?

I'm going to have to play with ours again - see if I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Never, infact it's in there so tight you can rock the van.

I bet it IS the locking clip...have you tried one? It falls over back flat with LATCH, for sure...

We had a family there for the longest time last Saturday b/c their Intera was doing just that, the falling on it's back. Ugh! I hope you can fix it. Let me look for a pic of the Radian real fast. Hmmm....all my pics are w/ LATCH. I had no problems getting it in rfing w/ seatbelt though.
