Nice, what carseat did you use and how did it fit? Tks.

One of the things that I love about 911s is the rear seats. Surprisingly, we can fit the whole family (including me at 6'6" and my wife at 5'11" into a 993. And before anyone asks, all these are stationary pictures - we do have have them safely restrained when actually moving.

+1. That is awesome! My wife is 5’2” & my daughter is 5’3” (14yo) & still growing. So right now, my wife can still sit shotgun. Though I’m afraid she might get demoted to the backseat if our daughter gets any taller 🤣

Thinking about buying my first 911. It will be a daily (40 km per day, including taking a 3.5 year old to kindergarten) and weekend car (pleasure trips with wife and child).

How practical are the rear seats? Until what age can you comfortably carry a kid in the back?

The sad thing for these kids is when they can drive most everything new will be electric.

My 9 year old (4'2') fits perfectly. Her head is properly supported by the rear seat.
My 6 year old still fits well in the Porsche front facing seat.


We're a short family, but I'd say that I probably still have a good 3-4 years before I feel uncomfortable without rear "headrest" support.

I think the comfort of the backseat is more height dependent than age.

IMO, every inch over 5ft will become more & more uncomfortable.

I have an 11yo son and 7yo daughter, both a little taller than average for size. They both fit in the rear seats for driving around town, though probably couldn’t do a very long trip. Have a cab so top is usually down which maybe helps a little, though supposedly the rear seats in the coupe have a more reclined/roomier seatback.

I recently got the Porsche booster seat for my 5 year old, but it doesn’t anchor in so it moves in turns. I’m very disappointed and won’t take her with me since the seat doesn’t stay secured. Anyone else experiencing that?

the 2-4 year old Porsche child seat we have was a great fit and worked great.

Yep, waiting for my 992 to arrive and install car seat in the back for my 2 year old daughter. Was originally going to buy a Cayman GTS 4.0, but decided it was important to have a backseat for some father-daughter drives.
