BTW...welcome.....

The 996TT Forum here is pure EVIL !!! Lots of info on there.

SY993, thanks. I spent months last year trying out seats "virtually," by measuring twice...three times and never found anything that would work without modifying the car. The tendency to remove car parts to fit seats concerns me; the cars/seats are not meant to be modified. Perhaps (maybe) removing a cushion would be completely safe, but I'd rather go with what the Good Lord gave the car to work with, and what Britax did as well. If my kid would stop kicking the back seats of my Japanese cars with his filthy shoes, I'd rush right out and get that Combi.

I probably will anyway. Eventually he'll stop....

Many times I've considered bubble wrapping the back of my seat.

I found that removing the child's shoes does the job. It just gets you dirty looks from other parents when you drop the kids off at school.

I have a forward facing lightweight tiny kids' seat - PORSCHE BRITAX for sale - lightly used

It fits rather well.

I believe 996 and 997 back seats are fairly similar.

Brand: Recaro
Model Name: ProBooster (It is currently available for sale in 2012)

That looks like a good fit. No Canadian Safety Standards sticker which means not legal for use here.

It's too bad we can't get Recaros up here. I'm confident that they are a very well made seat.

I remember seeing a forward facing 5 point harness Recarco Seat that fit well in the back too.

Great find!

What's the model and name of the booster?

Is it a current model?

SY, Recaro makes a convertible seat that's a 5-point harness:

Unsure how well it would fit, but I strongly considered it for a while. They happen to make a pretty good color match to my grey leather interior.

Bump for some updated recommendations. I've read through the thread, and a lot of the seats mentioned are no longer available, having been replaced by newer models. For example, I've read a lot about the Britax Roundabout working well with the base removed, but the newest model doesn't have a removable base (from what I can tell).

I have a two-year-old (~30 lbs) toddler that I'd like to get into the back of my 2004 Targa. He's not ready for a booster seat yet, so I'm looking for a forward-facing seat with a harness. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

fyi, i have both the recaro vivo and probooster.
the vivo is easier to get the kids buckled as it is not as wide.

Bumping this thread as I have a little one arriving in July and I'll probably be responsible for dropping off at daycare.

So what works and here can I purchase it? Thanks!

This threads not serious, right? If so, your responsible for causing the testorerone level of every Rennlist member to nosedive to eunich level. Theres got to be a better place for this subject than the 996 forum.

I take it you have no kids?

That's great new Fernando!!! Are you going to the CMP event in March? If I still have my baby seat I'd be happy to pass it on.

They've got four seats for just this reason.

Thanks Dell!

I haven't signed up yet but do plan on going. That would be great, I'll get back in touch with you as the time gets closer.
