Hahhahaha.....

The Honda Element. That's the one with the rubber floor right??

The rubber floor may be good for kid vomit, but I'm not driving around in a box with 4 cylinders at the wrong end.

I'll pass......

My daughter is now 9 months old and have never put a foot or drwly dirty finger in my P-car.....she will not enter it until she is over 1 yr and about 22 lbs or up.....you will never forgive yourself if something happens because you needed to drive your Porsche...hence when you become a father your life is officially OVER!!!

But I hate to say it because it sounds so cliche!! There is nothing better than that teethless drewly smile and those teary eyes looking at you when she wakes up and you are not there!!

About a minivan? NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I am getting ride of my BMW X5 next month and I already have a brandnew Escalade sitting in the driveway dwarfing my X5 in every sense of the way.......who care about 8miles per gallon...I love those cooled seats!!

Ray, Congrats on the big news.

While I can't offer any help I believe the previous owner of my car had a child seat and air bag deactivation done for a short while on my car. He's a member here if you want his info PM me.

Ha! My 4-year-old threw up in my 996 just a few weeks ago. Luckily it was contained to her car seat, the right rear floor mat (hosed it off!), and the hard black plastic of the front passenger seat. I don't think she'd even have cared if it was in her mother's car, but she looked truly horrified at having done that to what she calls "our" (mine and her's) Por-sheh.

I felt bad for her and laughed it off.

I've ridden my KTM maybe 4 times since the birth of my daughter 20 months ago. I barely get to drive my 993 because it doesn't seat 3 easily. But I don't care.

You'll have plenty of time to do the things you list above later in life. If you're like me, you'll want to be with your little one as much as you can. Seeing her little face when she looks up at me is better than anything I've experienced in life.
