Default Her first ride

First, I want to say thanks to all the members who assured me that a dad can use his 911 as a 'family car.' My 13 C4S has been the greatest car I have ever owned and so grateful that I was in a position to buy it ( and my wife would let me get one too!). Well, today my daughter took her inaugural ride in her new pink Cosco high back booster. And she loved it. So much so that she took a nap in it for about 40 minutes despite PSE and bumpy Chicago roads!

Congrats!!!

I am looking for the same and have a few questions:

1) Does the booster fit well in the seat?

2) Which model is that?

3) How big (weight and height) is your daughter?

Thanks!

Additionally, how much room does your wife has in the passenger seat with your daughter behind her?

Her smile says it all. Have fun! My 4 yo daughter still goes "weeeee" when we go through corners.

1) perfectly fits in the seat. Didn't use latch today because I was in a hurry

2) this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CT...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3) 42" and 32 lbs

I was going to get the black one, but she loves pink so much that I couldn't say no.

My wife is 5' 4" and 100 lbs so she has plenty of room. My daughter so that the car is very cozy. And very loud! She does enjoy the acceleration!

congrats on the car!

I'm going to chime in on my experience with boosters in my '15 GTS...

I tried a Klek Oobr, but the base was too wide. Similarly, I had a Diono Radian XT and a cheaper Alpha Omega (? model) that did NOT fit...

I finally bought a Maxi Cosi Rodifix that fit PERFECTLY--it checked all my requirements, w/ high-back and side impact protection as well as utilizing the LATCH attachment. Very happy w/ it. The high back does not rub on the side pillar (when you keep the height adjustment to minimum)...

Congrats kpmd! That smile is all you need! Post some pics of your 911. My girls go crazy in the speed car (that's what my little one calls it).

my clek uber is a leftover from my m3 and with the exception of it being very mildly angled it fits well. i think it's very very well made
