Default 993 Car seats for 1-4yr olds

Can anyone advise of a car seat bought recently that fits in the back of a 993 Coupe? I know about the earlier posts on this but unfortunately most of those seats are not manufactured anymore.

Thanks in advance!

I used a Cosco seat from target. Fit very snugly using rennline harness mounts and the LATCH attachments

For 3yr +, I can confirm the Cosco high-back booster from Target works very well. It is a perfect fit, requiring no modification to the seat or car.

My 3 & 5 yr olds fit perfectly in "booster" mode with the just the plain stock seat belts.

I recently installed the Diono RadianRXT in my 993 coupe.

Porsche Bud, I'd like to see how you did that if you could post some pics? I have the version of that seat when it was Sunshine, but I couldn't get it to fit...

I use a Britax Marathon, the base fits perfectly in the seat well. My wife have to move the passenger seat up though, good thing she is not tall.

Default Thanks

Thanks on the info about the Britax. Did you need seat belt extensions/do you have any pics of the install?

The install was in the back seat, I did not need seatbelt extension, the britax seat has a seat belt device that locks the belt in position. I'll try and post pics later.

Default Thank you

Thanks so much for the reply. Would appreciate the pics when you can as I'm really struggling to find a UK seat to fit my 993 so thinking of importing one from the states. Between this and a Maxi cosi pria!
