I was hopeful they would be when I peeled the carpet back

The 991’s receptacle is just in like an awkward spot where it’s hard to get the belt tight with this model car seat

I'm 3 years late, by any chance does this offer still stand?
Hoping to end 2020 on a high note, I've got a free Maxi Cosi in black from my 991 to the first Bay Area 991 or 992 driver who can pick it up and promises to put it to good use. This dad certainly did.
It's in storage now, but it's pretty mint IIRC. (It was in my 991 for about 10,000 miles—and more often stowed in the front trunk than the back seat.) Will also throw in a seat protector/shoe keeper in black to protect those back seats.
Only caveat: You have to show up in the 911 you'll use it in.

I’ll give my two cents here since I spent hours researching this in preparation for the 991.2 GTS coupe I purchased.
I purchased two Maxi Cosi Rodiflex high back boosters for my kids (8,6). I purchased the Clek seat mat protector.
the Clek seat mat is too wide and deep for the rear seat. So I trimmed it iteratively to make it fit the rear seat perfectly. Took about 3-4 minutes per mat.
the Maxi Coris fits perfectly. Both my kids are comfortable in the rear. My taller 8 year old is totally comfortable and not squeezed with my wife in the passenger seat (5’5”). My 6 year is behind me (5’10”) and fits fine. He’s not squeezed but I’m sure he’d appreciate another inch or two—but I have my seat up a bit more than I would if no one was behind me.
I did not remove the seat bottom or seat backs. I may play with removing the seat back to see if that gives my 6 year old a bit more room.
I did place a piece of the scrap cut out rubber from the Clek mat to protect the middle bolster from the plastic cup holder slat that is digging into the side.

Both seats are on the Ckel thingy and I haven't had the seat bottom removed.
The cup holder slat on the Rodifix comes off with 2 bolts Prevent the problem than try to mitigate it when happens..

I've the Maxi Cosi Rodifix too - my 6 year old loves being in the "race car" I also have a Cosco Scenera forward facing seat for my 2 year old.

I have the same issue/concern with bottom only boosters in general back there. My two kids (almost 6 y/o and 4.5 y/o) heads are above the rear seats if in a bottom booster - unlike other cars the Porsche doesn’t have head supports in the rear. I had the Graco slim fits back there previously. However their heads are at the roof in those now, the roof being the limiting factor in using those car seats fully. What I did, I took off the seatbelt tether strap (the piece with the red clip to snug the seatbelt to the shoulder) from the bottom booster. I looped it around the latch point on the Porsche - same as if it’s looped/connected to the rear of the booster. Both sit in the rear now with heads below the top of the rear seat and fully secured in with the shoulder belt snug across chest. I am going to try using a couple towels under their butts/legs next for a little elevation. This should snug the lap belt a little further. This is no different than an armless booster - yet keeps their heads below the seat top.

This looks promising
No first hand experience with these. Could be a new product, don’t recall seeing it when I was comparing the Rodifix.

Some posts talked about the Mesa being a tight fit (no base). The Aria is the new Uppababy car seat and smaller than the Mesa. With a base, it was a no go. Without the base, I (6’0”) was able to fit no problem. Not super comfortable but anyone under that would be fine.
The Cruz (smaller version of the Vista) stroller didn’t fit in the frunk.
Attached: picture of the Aria (no base) with the seat all the way forward, normal back angle. You can imagine how much room there is with the seat moved against the car seat, plenty of room. The handle rotated to the back (as it needs to be) scrubs the interior, so I’d beware of that.
