Rear Facing Car Seat recommendation - DIONO w/ Angle Adjuster

[avane]

So hopefully I'll be getting my truck in June and there's always been a slight hesitation with these more compact cars when it comes to rear facing car seats

A few years ago, I almost got the Bronco Sport but after I brought in my Diono Rear Facing to test out, it was 100% no go (I'm 5-10") as my knees touched the glove box. Note that the Bronco Sport actually has MORE leg room than the Maverick. (36.9" vs 35.9").....am I scaring you yet if you're in the same height category as me!?

Well lo and behold (and I'm sorry if you dont have a Diono) but I discovered the Angle Adjuster! https://store.diono.com/angle-adjuster/ !!!! This is night and day. Mind you, I have not tested it on a Maverick yet BUT I tested it in my small ass Impreza (33.5" legroom) and I was able to sit in the front relatively comfortably!! So I'll be damned if this rear facing solution won't work in the Maverick.

If anyone who has a rear facing Diono with angle adjuster, please post to confirm this hypothesis!

Just make sure the angle is for the rear facing setting.

It's an adjuster for rear facing? adjusting angle of forward facing would be odd

Mine, different kind, has 6 angles, 3 for rear facing 3 for front.
