First, it's too tall, so the seat is tilted about 15 degrees off the vertical axis, abutting against the B-pillar.
Second, the adjustment buckle for the rear LATCH does not sit flat, and instead when properly tightened, is pulled almost into a vertical orientation, thereby gouging like a knife into the top if the seat back. It will leave a big dent in the car seat, and given the low density of the cushion, it will be permanent, even with padded seat protectors placed down before the car seat.
I do not recommend the Diono RXT for the 991. I'm going to try either the Cosco high back booster, or the Recaro Performance Booster as an alternative. I'll re-post after I try it out.

Also in CA. For my 6 year old I use this simple booster from target. Assuming you just need a booster, not a full car seat. Fits perfectly!

I buckle the seat beat around it when no kids are in it so it doesn't slide around...

Thanks again for the seat suggestions:
Finally took delivery of my GT3 and had the Cosco seat recovered to match
and it's going in here:

I bought the costco no back seat and it fits perfectly in the back seat...tried it out in a GTS Cab in Stuttgart this morning.

Any pictures with kids in the seats? It's one thing to fit the car seat in, but my wife says no 991 unless our smallest 8 and 5 year olds will actually have space for their legs once they get back there. Blur kids faces if you like

Sorry, just tried the seat fit at the dealer but didn't put our son in the seat as it was a brand new 991 GTS. Looked just fine though...the base of the seat fit completely within the width and depth of the seat.

Try the 997 forum, I have seen some pictures with kids this age in the back seat. If they fit inside a 997 I am sure 991 is no problem.

. 10 yr old is just over 4.5'.FYI that cab seats are a bit more upright than the coupe.

I regret getting the Diono RXT for my 2014 C2S. There are two problems with it. First, it's too tall, so the seat is tilted about 15 degrees off the vertical axis, abutting against the B-pillar. Second, the adjustment buckle for the rear LATCH does not sit flat, and instead when properly tightened, is pulled almost into a vertical orientation, thereby gouging like a knife into the top if the seat back. It will leave a big dent in the car seat, and given the low density of the cushion, it will be permanent, even with padded seat protectors placed down before the car seat.
