I have yet to find a rear facing seat that works.

Nuna Pipa Lite has been great - I THINK it fits up to 30lbs or something in that range. We got a couple of bases/strollers and just snaps in and out of the base, works great.

We had good luck with the Grayco. No need to install the special latch system, either. The little one likes his own controllable rear window! (cabriolet)

Using a Britax click tight seat. Works great. Have the rear anchored too. Seat belt is easy to get clicked in and snug fit with seat insert in. I’d say it’s good 1 to 4 years of age then booster seat time.

Second the Britax Clicktight, the seat belt method is very tight and secure. Cabriolet application.

I don't know anyone who uses a seat protector - we all remove the bottom cushion (Velcro) to obtain a firm base.

BTW, I have heard others comment the Britax Boulevard fits - it does but the top wings are very wide and not as good as the Britax Marathon, which is narrower. I could not find any rear-facing solution that did NOT require you fold forward the passenger seat, obv. with no passenger.

Porsche just released a new series of Junior seats (3 kinds) from a infant seat, harness-style and a booster seat

We used a Cybex Aton 2 for rear-facing, until he grew out. My wife could just fit without her knees touching dash. After he reached about 9 mo though he outgrew the seat (height) and we had to get a bigger rear facing seat that won't fit the 911. Now he's 14 mo; when he gets to 2 years and we switch to forward facing, his new seat (Nuna Rava) will turn forward and will fit once again. So, my experience is there is a 15 month period there where 911 won't work...

I'm in this gap right now at 18 months old. He's outgrowing the Cybex Aton 2 and not quite ready for a front facing seat yet. We also have the Nuna Rava in our Macan at the moment. I was thinking of sliding this over to the 911 and getting the Nuna Revv as a replacement for the Macan.

Does anyone know if the Nuna Rava will fit rear facing, and eventually front facing, in our 997s?

I'd give it a shot, but I'm currently traveling for work.

if it fits front facing, it should fit rear facing. With how the profile of the seat is, it would be near impossible to get your kiddo in there if it was rear facing.

It does not fit rear facing. The angle of the seat needed does not work. I believe it will fit front facing but after seeing I couldn't get it to fit rear facing I just took it out.
