Child seat -996?
The new owner of my pcar is asking which child seats are meant for 996's.
Also should he use the seat in front, is there a way to immobilize the passenger airbags?

It's not plug and play.

Porsche car seats come in two parts, the actual seat and an airbag diactivation device that needs to be installed by the dealer. THe seat has a special buckle that slips into the airbag diacivator to turn off the airbag (the seat will also work in the back as my 4 and 6yaer old will confirm). Get your first seat from a dealer, but as the kids grow get new ones from Britax. They make them for porsche and you can get the exact seat for a lot less. Just take the special buckle off the old and put on the new.

Yes the Britax one is EXACTLY the same except for the fabric! And you cant get replacement fabric from Porsche once it gets wear and tear!! Which sucks so I bought replecemnt fabric from Britax. I have three of these now and I just cut off the buckle and keep it in the P-car cause I dont know which seat I'll have with me at which time since the kids use thwm in my wife's Navigator also!

Carnewal is the only source I know of to get the airbag de-activator for the front seat separate from the Porsche seats, and Gert has great prices on all this stuff.
Make sure the seat (at least the buckle) is there when the computer is programmed for the de-activator, not a part dealers usually have around and I had to go back home and get mine to finish it.
Oddly enough, it is just as easy, if not actually easier to put toddlers in and out of the child seat in the rear. Right by the door seam. Also harder to change radio stations and push in the lighter from back there!

Cause there are few things better than the giggle and ear to ear grin of a four-year-old sitting next to you as you go around a tight curve at high speed with the top down. With the airbag off I believe they are perfectly safe in the front seat (that should start a debate).

Just like my little girl.
In the front last week she pulled my shirtsleeve at the cuff to put my hand on the shifter for 2-3, then placed it carefully back on the wheel at 2:00!
She'll be three next month, I suppose then I am going to get "try the pedal on the RIGHT, buddy."
