Hi Folks, can anyone confirm if either of this foldable child seats fit in the rear of a 997.1?

Maxi Cosi Nomad


I contacted maxi cosi themselves and they could not confirm!

Many thanks.

No but can confirm the WAYB Pico fits.

doesn’t look like that model is sold in the UK. Good luck!

That looks like what us Yanks would call a booster seat. It just sits on the seat surface without tethers attaching it to the anchors built into the bottom of the bulkhead in the back seat of a car. 911s (at least mine) doesn't have those anchors in the backseat, so it wouldn't accommodate the much more robust child seats sold here. Required by law, kids are in car seats at least to age 3, then, depending on age, weight and height, they graduate to boosters, which could be used in the front or backseats.

How old is your kiddo? If she/he is old/big enough for a booster seat, all you'd need are dimensions from the manufacturer and measure the area in the car.

I just fitted this Diono Monterey 5 seat for my six year old. It fits snuggly and has side impact protection for the head and also the body areas. I was thinking about the booster bottoms but think the side protection is important. The base of the seat is just shy of 13” so it is a tight fit which is perfect for the 997.

Did you pull out the seat bottom cushion?

At first I left the cushion but removed it so the leather will not have an imprint.

My friend just bought the same Diono Monterey and it fits perfect in his car. I personally have a Maxi-Cosi Rodifix.

Hey - I've just a 997.1 C2S, having issues installing a forward facing baby seat in the rear. Tried a few options (Porsche Seat, Britax Evolva, a Joie), the only one which seems "secure" is the Halford Essential 123 however it's still not perfect. Does the 997.1 C2S have tether anchors in the rear? Checked the manual but couldn't see anything on them.

Also, the UK seat belts don't seem to have a ratchet option, unless both rear belts are broken. Any tips?

Thanks!

Much to my surprise I discovered that seat belts in Australia do not have a ratchet feature either. Pulling the belt all the way out dies not engage a ratchet pawl. Would not surprise me if the UK was the same. 997s do not have LATCH or other lower anchor points but there is a kit for the front seat that also has an airbag disable key.

There isn't a lot of data on the web on 911 car seats. I have a .2 coupe and the Graco slimfit 3-1 works pretty well. I have to slide the passenger seat forward a bit but it's usable and I am happy with it. I don't think it would work very well behind the drivers seat.
