car seat for extended can chevy pick-up

DD (3 yrs old 30lbs)is currently in a evenflo titan V in our truck (2004 Chevy 1500 - extrendend cab)- she is behind the driver seat because our 5 year old is behind the passenger.

I need a carseat that isn't deep (if that makes sense)

I don't care how wide it is.

just that her little legs are so scrunched up!!

we just got an apex in the van - but it is wayy to deep to fit in the truck

any ideas for me?

In our truck (Toyota Tundra with suicide doors so not full size back seat), the seating area is very narrow and our kids have very little leg room. We considered a nautilus for the truck for DD#2 but it was too long and thus was not compatible. The nautilus requires that there be no overhang of the nautilus over the actual truck's seat. In our situation, there was an overhang so we had to pass on it. We are currently using a Graco Cargo for her, but she is so close to the 40lb limit in it that we are searching for something else.

I bought my DS a Regent for that exact reason. We have an '07 chevy silverado extended cab. It works great. The Radian would probably work too.

a regent wouldn't work for her at all -- way too deep

any other ideas for me?

DH really would prefer her to stay on the drivers side

The Radian works great in the back seat of trucks because it's so shallow (front to back) and yet it fits my 4 yr old great!
Here it is in the back seat of our 1994 Ford pickup with the tinyest back seat I've ever seen!
