Default Car seats

What do you guys use? My boosters don't seem to fit well in the rear buckets and are still needed for my 6.5 yr old in CA. Thanks.

I have the diono RXT convertible car seats which are pretty much the same as the radian R100. They are skinny and fit quite well. I have both kids back there.

My boosters didn't fit, either.

I wound up buying the Porsche-branded one for an arm and a leg. It doesn't fit perfect, but far better than the Gracos I use in my other vehicles.

My kids (still rather young) LOVE riding in it! I turned on the PSE and my little boy says "Daddy, this is JUST LIKE A RACE CAR!"

Why yes, son, yes it is!

They were a little sad when I let go of my red Corvette "Lightning McQueen" but I am making progress brainwashing them with the glory of fine German engineering...

Default beware.....

My daughter grew up in the aft passenger seat in my 993, and now ( age 20) she's absolutely stunning.... And drives like her daddy. I pity the boys at her college, really I do!

My seats didn't fit either. My wife had bought an inflatable seat for plane trips, etc and I decided to try that. It fits absolutely perfectly. It is blow up so you can leave it or deflate and store it. The kids love it (I think more because they like to say the name - bubble bum...which they mutate to bubble butt)...and the best part - $30!! See attached link:

Not for all ages - 4-11 it says - legal disclaimer - check your state laws to see if it would work for you!

Awesome. Thanks guys. The Porsche one would be fun. I've always used the Recaros but they're really wide... I assume any of those will work in the front as I'll be transferring it to my gt3 in a few mo when it finally shows and he'd have fun upfront for a change. Thanks

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!

That's the same one I use. Also available at Amazon if you like. Fits like a glove and dirt cheap:

I use this too in both rear seats. Works fine. My seven year old twins enjoy riding in the back.
