I dont have a question, but I had a REALLY hard time finding the answer on the internet, so now that Ive answered it for myself, Ill post it for others to find!

We signed a lease for a 2013 Nissan Leaf today and have 2 Diono RXTs (both outboard) in it, with angle adjusters. They fit FABULOUSLY! Im 5'10 and have more than enough leg room. The seats are about 3/4 inch from touching the back of the drivers seat. If there were no AA's, it wouldnt work for me (maybe someone shorter?) but they are great! It fits even better than my 2004 Acura MDX.

I have a couple pics from the showroom when we were testing them out if anyone needs a visual.

That's great! Thank you for sharing!

If you have photos you'd be willing to share, that would be fantastic. :) The Leaf isn't a car we have many questions about (yet), but I'm sure there could be questions in the future as electric cars become more and more popular. :)

This was the size test install, dont critique install! This was just for purposes of seeing if it fits with a quickie install :)

Notes:
1) Im 5'10
2) thats an inch gap between the carseat and the actual car seat.
3) It sits up so nicely :) Maybe not good for babies, but my twins are 34months/33lbs/37 inches and cope just fine at that angle! They get a good view out the back window.
