I drive a 2003 Kia Spectra and I'm looking to buy a True Fit. If the True Fit doesn't work is there another seat that will keep my 2 year old long torsed son rear facing?

The Diono Radian with angle adjuster is small front to back. The Graco Size4Me may fit. The Clek Foonf might be an option as well.

I have had my True Fit in a Ford focus (2008ish?) at a more upright angle with enough room for my 5'7" self to sit in front of it. I'm not sure how they compare but it is a small car.

That's good to know. I think that I will have to go to bru and see if the true fit will work in my car.

I can fit my TFP in my Mazda Protege5, which is a fairly small car. I had to install it at a more upright angle. I prefer using my Radian in my car though since I can brace it. I don't have an angle adjuster and it takes up similar front to back space as the TFP. I imagine that once I get an angle adjuster I will have loads more room. Both seats were installed behind the driver's seat and I can comfortably drive (I'm 5'6").

The only downfall to the true fit is the 35lbs RFing weight limit.

I fit a TF rfing in the backseat of a 2 door chevy cobalt (comparable to cavalier). Also have friends who fit them in a mazda3 4 door which is a smaller car
