Just planning ahead with this purchase as i don't have the 911 yet.
My question relates to the dimensions of the seat. I have the Graco Turbo series booster seats. The size is 16" wide by 15" deep. By the photos here, it looks like the Harmony booster fits the best but I noticed on the company web page that the dimensions are 16" wide x 17 " deep. Is there something about the shape of the harmony that allows it to fit better even though the dimensions are similar to the graco?

That doesn't mean that the Graco turbo won't fit. I haven't tried it, but it looks kind of squareish. When you get your 911, test fit the the Graco Turbo and report back (with pictures!
). If they don't fit, the Harmony literider is cheap at Walmart.

Can you post pics of the seat on your cab? I have a2007 997 C4S Cab and would like to know fit as well as buckle clearance once seat is in so my daughters can buckle themselves.
Thanks

AWESOME TIP!
I just picked up the harmony booster seat as well for my new C4S(yes, pics to come once it gets a pumpkinectomy). The seat works great, outside of the spacing issues for the buckle. I decided to take matters into my own hands and pull the cover off and heat each "armrest" where it connects with the base with a hair dryer until nice and warm (1-2 mins). I then took the heated side and dipped it into a sink of cold water for a few mins, leaning on the seat to get the desired angle. Did both sides, and now it fits like a charm, and actually slides all the way to the back of the seat. The bonus is now my daughter can actually do the buckle herself!
I have had the same Harmony booster seats for a less than a year and had the same frustration with the challenges with the spacing between the armrests and buckle. After reading your post I went out to the garage and used my heat gun to perform the same mod.
It worked out perfectly! I used a bungee to pull the arm rests in while I used the heat gun to soften the plastic. Here are some pics and many thanks.

Bruce,
Here is that car seat vest I mentioned to you.
It is meant to work like a car seat.

There is a velcro "hans like" add on.
The vest works better without it in a Cab.

Are you talking about the Recaro ProBooster? Let me know what type of shots you are looking for and I can get them taken this weekend.

Thanks for replying but last night I read a post on a simple mod for my existing Harmony literider booster seats ($14.00 at walmart) and it ended up working perfectly for me.
Love this fourm!

Spring fever is hitting and this thread is perfect...Walmart has the Harmony Literider for sale at $17 CDN, so I told my wife to pick up for the 5 year old so I can mod. Now I need to find a front facing seat for my one year old. Any suggestions for my 99cabriolet?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary, really the only one that works is the Britax Roundabout with the base removed. I know there are a lot of posts in this thread but we have covered EVERYTHING to help with the decision so grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy

Don, sorry for the late reply. I was out of town this weekend.
The Recaro ProBooster fits perfectly in the CAB and with the seats in place. It's just a little tight to get to the seat belt receiver since it is mounted to the car so far back.....but nothing difficult at all.
