Default Car Seat Installation

I finally got some car seats in my C4S for my 2 year old and my almost 5 year old. Since I got the car a month ago my kids haven't been able to go for a ride, but now all they want to do is take daddy's car. For my 2 year old we went with the Cosco High Back Booster, which while it can act as a booster it does have a five point harness as well. For my five year old we went with the Bubble Bum, which will double as her 'travel seat' when we vacation. The Cosco seat was a modest $50 but seems very sturdy and fits well and snug in the back of the 991. I also used the Prince Lionheart seat saver under it. Typically we all travel in my wife's SUV with the high end safety seats, but at least my girls can now go to morning coffee with Daddy.

I gotta say I'm really please with the quality of the Cosco and would recommend it to you guys. The Bubble Bum does the job as well for your older kids.

Love the "Bubble Bum"
I use that as well. Works perfect for my 5 year old - and great to travel with, as you mentioned!

I have 3 recaros and a Cosco for travel. The good thing about the Cosco is the lower mass. It works well in the 991 but also if you need to move it around.

Does the seat fit straight up, or does it tilt toward the middle due to abutting against the B-pillar?

I have 2 of the Cosco seats. They sit straight up. They're great with the 5 point harness and they were only $40 at Target.
