That protector is nice when comes to liquid spills or bread crumbs ,but to protect the seat from marks that are left from a child seat is to thin. I have now a protector like that and a britax romer multitech 3 child seat ,the marks on the seat are clearly visible after 1 year even with that. I found sponge like 10 cm thick , guess i will use that + protector. Will post pics when i get it done.

This thread is old, but not so old that this info won't be useful. I came across a child seat company that makes a product for this purpose https://clekinc.com/products/accessories/mat-thingy/

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned these: https://wayb.com
I have 2 young kids and plan on using these when I get my 992 C2S in November. I emailed Wayb customer service and the dimensions are perfect. They even said some Porsche dealers have them in the showroom 911s.

Yeah all good points and you got me re-thinking. My older son will be in a booster soon, so I guess this wouldn’t be any different than once he’s just sitting in the rear seat?
It has all the safety approvals for car travel, so I wonder what those tests are when it comes to side impacts. I would hope they’d be pretty strict. https://wayb.com/pages/safety-standards
I guess there is no perfect car seat for the back of a 911

I use Porcshe's own branded Junior Seat (I guess it's a Britax) for a soon-to-be two-year-old, and I think it works really well. We did a relatively long road trip back and forth throughout Germany in July with the Jr. Seat at the backseat behind the passenger (my wife) and we were all able to fit relatively comfortably in the car (a big plus for being able to fit enough luggage too). Thus, I'd be inclined to recommend it!

Hello,
I plan to submit my order sometime next month.
One must have for me though is to make sure that my son (44 pounds guy who loves car- he will be 5 next year) can sit comfortably in the backseat of the passenger (wife: 5'3" height).
I went through the 911 child seat thread , it appears the recommendations there are:
* for five point harness - or
* for booster - or
I am debating whether we should use booster vs. five point harness.
What were your considerations in choosing five point harness vs. booster seat?
Also, if you have other (newer) recommendations for car seat for 992, please add them here.

The NHTSA recommendation is:
Keep your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat’s manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it’s time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat.
It meets all safety regulations for car and air travel just like the ones you linked and from what I’ve seen it’s the best fitting seat for the back of a 911. Some have talked about the lack side-impact protection which I can’t argue with, but once my kids are in boosters or big enough to sit in the back without anything... I’m going to be in the same situation.
I’ve seen pictures of car seats stuffed into the back seat of a 911 and it makes me wonder if there are diminishing safety returns when a car seat doesn’t fit properly.

People say this and I don’t disagree, but I’m genuinely trying to understand how they have gotten all of the necessary safety certifications to be sold as a car seat.

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 read your reviews in the past but I think I have never read your review on a carseat!
Can you tell us which Maxi Cosi model you have and your opinion on the car seat?
