Sounds like you're ok in terms of a setup. I currently have a Porsche seat and my tall 5 year old only has only around 1" of clearance to the ceiling, so I'm not sure what to do after that given that the car's rear seat backs are not tall enough to properly support his head if there is a crash. I'm wondering whether it is possible to just use the seat back portion of the Porsche child seat but without the bottom part so that he sits lower but still has head protection
Does an adult (comfortably) fit in the front passenger seat when using Porsche seat in rear?
Ok, I followed the OP's advice and went for the maxicosi rodifix. I posted pictures of the Diono RXT before.
The maxicosi is awesome! It clicks right into the latch and the buckle is very easy to access (unlike the cosco, where you have to make this work a little.
The seats fits very nicely in the rear seat, as if it was made for the 991!

Nice intel here. Ability to seat a full size adult in front passenger seat for extended trip?

Yes, no issues. And my wife is 5'8. I must say that my daughter now sits closer to the seat than with the backless Cosco booster, but no problem. I do have my solution to protect the back of the passenger seat.
I really feel more comfortable with this seat than with the cosco as she was not getting any head support in case of a collision since the rear seats do not have headrests.
This seat is light and very easy to click in and out and as you can see, I was able to have a thick very protective car seat protector under it.
does this maxi cozi seat scrape the c pillar alcantara?
Only if you want it to :-)
The headrest is height adjustable. It can't go in its highest position without touching the alcantara, but in its lowest position it does not touch the alcantara of the c-pillar
Same here. I had the Diono for my Cayenne & the wife's GL, but didn't like it for the 911. I just bought the Maxi Cosi Rodifix too and love it. My daughter is 3.5yrs old, and I don't think she's big enough for a booster and with no head protection. This Maxi fits very nicely in our rear seat, super easy to mount. And my wife could sit comfortably at the front with plenty of leg room for both of them (front & back) too.
It use the factory regular rear seat belt, not 5points harness. So IMO it's even easier to buckle up. And yes, my 3.5yrs old could climb in & out by herself. But she's not strong enough to push the buckle (lock/unlock) by herself yet.
