I have the one i posted above. It is designed for the 928, and it has the correct straps for the cargo hooks and proper securing. Unlike that older one, this one can also be reversed to comply with new laws. Contact me if interested, i have deleted the rear seats, plus no plans for kids.
Thanks
Hans

Its’ nice to have an exact fit 928 baby seat but a lot of times it’s too difficult to obtain one. The most important thing when fitting a baby seat into the 928 is to have a harrow base. Most of the seats today have a wide base and they don’t fit into the 928. I bought a second baby seat on a garage sale for $10. It has a narrow base and fits very nicely into the rear buckets. I only have a lap belt in the rear so had to install an actual theder strap anchor into the rear of the trunk. Also bought a pack of tie down straps and strapped the back of the baby seat to the back of the rear seat. It works like a charm but it does need about an hour to of tinkering before the final procedure was ironed out.

Im00 it's more than that. Narrow bases can slip-slide around. I prefer an inbetween. in other words the widest (stablest) base that fits, is good. That way you can wrench the thing down with the lap belt. Incidentally The rear lapbelts are way better than later rear shoulder belts because shoulder belts do not ratchet down as the new safe non-Porsche ones do . PLUS, you need a seat that sits high up enough where the sides are ABOVE the seatbelt latch point (inboard). Lapbelts can be installed with great tension, making them safest. They leave the seat clear and open whereas the shoulder belts get in the way and are very very loose.

Excellent points.
The most important point is that the seat has to stay in place during (god forbid!) an impact. Securing the seat is absolutely critical to child survival.
Also, everyone who posted that they are going to become parents soon, remember that you MUST have a rear-facing infant seat until they're over 20 pounds.

Another safety tip: no loose objects in the car. I read about a baby dying in a fender bender several years ago, when a flying cellphone nailed the poor kid right between the eyes.
