RF Radian in a Mini Cooper

Does anyone have a picture of a Radian rear facing in a Mini Cooper?

I thought someone on here had said they used a radian in a mini and that it worked nicely. I've seen conflicting info on wether it fits rear facing and I was curious.

Currently I have my DD RF in a Coccoro and I find the front seat space tight and not very usable. I'm thinking ahead to when she outgrows the Coccoro rear facing and whether or not I would just use the Coccoro FF or try and get a different RF seat.

You can try it in your car at Buy Buy Baby if you have one around you.  We have a Mazda 3 hatchback and it did not fit at all!  Also, there is an angle adjustor you can use after the baby is a year old that will get you a little more space, but you can't do it until they have the neck strength and size to make it safe.  We got the Radian for my DH's crew cab truck and love it.

I believe gimmitimmies has a radian in a mini and is very happy with it. I haven't been in a mini, but had two RF radians in my beetle for a while, pre angle adjuster, so it definitely can fit in a small car with some blood, sweat and tears lol! I love my radians and was happy they fit in the beetle since nothing else would have accommodated my tall, long-torsoed children and also fit in the beetle!

I would def try it with an angle adjuster. You can actually use the adjuster once the child sits up well independently.

I know for my child I want them RFing as long as possible. So buying a new carseat would be my solution.

Thanks for the replies. We don't have a store nearby that carries the radian so I can't try it out easily. My DD still has about 2 inches of torso height before she outgrows the Coccoro so I have some time.
