But no one sits in the front passenger seat so I figured I should be ok if I just push that seat forward all the way in worst case scenario?
I'm also looking at the Diono Radian 3RXT SafePlus.

West Coast Kids (Main St) have lots on display and you can probably ask to take their display one out to try in the car while there. I wouldn't suggest any 3 in 1 type car seat if you have a mid size vehicle. As much as it saves money to just buy one, they are a lot longer/taller and heavier therefore it will not be ideal for anybody to sit in the front. I have a couple of Nuna Rava's rear facing in the STI and I don't have to change my seat position at all for myself or the passenger. I'd stay clear away from any 3 in 1 if compact is important for you.
Keep in mind kids can stay rear facing up to 3-4 years. It's not short term inconvenience to save some money.
