Any hope to RF in an Infiniti G35 Coupe?

DH has a little sportscar. Currently DD has a Chicco Keyfit and this fits just fine. However, she will be outgrowing it in the next few months, and we'd like to keep her RF as long as we can. Is there any convertible seat that might work? There aren't many stores here that sell them, so it's hard for us to try any out. Any experiences with small cars and rear facing? Thanks in advance.

Oh, and wanted to add -- I had thought TrueFit would work since you can remove the headrest when RF, but then I read that doesn't work after 22 pounds, and DD will be there soon.

Generally, by 22lbs, seats can go in much more upright, which makes them easier to fit.  In fact, most convertibles take up LESS space than an infant seat when installed at 30-35degrees for an older baby.  How old/tall/heavy is your child?

Less than the bucket? That would be nice. Honestly, I've never even seen a RF convertible seat in a car, as people either have buckets or turn the kids around FF. If she's out of her bucket, it will mean she's 30" tall, and likely 22 pounds by then, or close. So I can just buy a Britax and it should fit at 30 degrees even in his tiny car? That I would like.

Our 2 YO daughter rides RF in the back seat of our Mini Cooper in a Britax Boulevard, and yes, it takes up less space front-to-back than the baby bucket did.
