Thanks and I agree. However, my point was the manual does NOT seem to recommend mounting rearward facing seats in the rear seats, which is what this thread is about.

I understand you could mount rearward facing seats in the rear seats securely and everything will probably be OK but I was just thinking if this is against Porsche recommendations. And if so, why Porsche does not recommend it.

Um...I dunno. They sell forward facing seats too but they don't advertise that in the user manual. Also, if they wanted to, they could easily design a rearward facing seat for the rear and still make the passenger seat usable, which is much more desirable.

Porsche is renowned for some amazing engineering, but also some boneheaded decisions. Why the do some things and not others is sometimes a mystery.

My contribution to the kids in Pcars thread... when they get a little bigger here are your next 2 steps.. 1st into the Recaro Young Sport (drivers side) and then Britax StarRiser booster or similarly sized as others have found. My complete rear seats are in place even the lower cushion.
