Reviving this thread in case someone with a newborn/infant needs a great *new* rear facing infant seat. This seat was just in case I needed to transport the baby in the 991.1 while the wife's Macan was on the road. He was fitted in it otherwise it was never used.
Fits perfectly to allow a 5'5" or under person to still use the front seat for a reasonable drive (1 hour max the wife would say!)
* CYBEX Aton 2 Infant Car Seat, Moon Dust color, 2016 model
* Includes the new anti-dive base
* 199.99 on amazon Amazon Amazon
$130 OBO plus shipping - PM me.

Ya I'm waiting for my 991.2 4 GTS can to land so I can start the trial and error process to see what forward facing seat works that meets Canadian requirements. We have a Britax Advocate in my wife's car so I'm gonna start there and see what needs to be different in dimensions to fit. No one seems to able to help. Porsche says call car seat manufacturer and they say they don't have data on new 911

clek is a Canadian company and I've got their 2017 FLLO model in my 991.2. Latch up to 40 lbs and then belt must be used, which is a little awkward. If you go with clek, watch their online install videos a few times first in addition to reading the manual for proper setup. Set up the belts BEFORE installing in the car. Make sure to buy from a retailer that allows returns in case you don't like the fit.
Good luck.

991.2 cab forward facing seat
so went to buybuy baby on delivery day and tried 20 different seats. Best I could find and make work was the Diono Radian RXT. Yes there's a gap behind but I used foam board to fill it. It appears the Cab models Don't have a tether latch point but the UAS latch system makes a very snug fit. Oh and the cab is so easy to install in with top down. Easier than my wife's SUV I would say.

One more thing, when you said "tried 20 different seats", did you mean tried in the car or just measured? I wonder how did you convince them to take out all their car seats to try in the car?
I recently had a surgery on my back and am trying to reduce number of tries of carseat installation. Thanks.

Hi, I just wanted to ask if you could make the windshield work with the Diono Radiant RXT? Also, how does it compare with the Britax carseat? How about Clek Fllo?

As for trying. Yes I physically tried them. I don't mean to be vain but the young staff at the store were happy to bring the first one out and once they saw what car it was going in they were very enthusiastic to try any seat to help me.
Clek Fllo was a close 2nd. The angle is more reclined and left less leg room for my son.
I like the Diono but I will say it's not a Beitax advocate. The harness need a little fiddle to make it fit right. And doesn't have the click tight easy install tech of the britax. But on the plus side it folds for storage since I'm not permanently leaving it in the car. It has a very heavy duty steel frame and felt solid. I will say I think will be extremely challenging installing it in a coupe given the tight space to work with in tightening the straps.

if you are referring to windscreen, it will not work with any of the car seats I tried. Most are taller than the windscreens level.

I was hoping to find a carseat that would be just couple of feet lower than the Britax Marathon. That would be enough for the windscreen to operate.

I wanted to wake this thread up, because there has been new slim car seat that works well in our 991s. I need a forward facing carseat that would work for our 2 and 4 year old girls. I installed a Greco slim-fit that works great. It is secure in the back with no movement. I am going to try the Cosi maxi for our 4 year old later this week, but our 4 and 2 year old fit great in the Greco seat. I like the 5 point harness with latches and ability to run the shoulder belt either across or behind the car seat. Baby R US gave me a discount on it. So ended up being 175. 00 Good colors, also!

Ok, so I am still on the lookout for the best 5 point harness. I tried in the Diono RXT. It did fit but it stuck out about 2-3 inches beyond the rear seat...which decreases leg room. I am looking for a 5 point harness that fits as well as my daughters Maxicosi rodifix. I have heard the Graco Slimfit and the Evenflo Securekid DLx fit pretty good; has anyone tried those? Finally, someone mentioned awhile back the Cosco HighBack booster that has 5 point harness. Anyone try this?
Thanks again for your help!

Update: We flipped our Safety 1st Guide 65 to forward facing this afternoon. I did not love it rear facing since it was difficult to get really locked down, but it is much better forward facing using the LATCH belt.
My wife was very comfortable and I would probably be fine riding shotgun even on a long trip.
This was the first time our son (27 months) has ever been in a forward-facing seat and he LOVED it. He was laughing and yelling, "Dada, more fast/loud!"
We drove for just over two hours and he did not complain
