the britax roundabout and marathon are consistently the best high rated seats out there.

in fact, it's my understanding this is the seat porsche is using - they add a logo and double the price but it's actually a britax roundabout.

One post from you takes up the whole page.

You ain't seen the half of it. I will soon be loading my cigarette boat, Sikorsky helicopter, gulfstream G4, my gun collection, and a picture of my 10,000 acre ranch in Sun Valley.

BTW my wife and dogs are not stuff.

Point taken. When I have a chance I will downsize or remove some of it. It could also be the resolution of your monitor because on mine all 3 pics sit next to each other and the size of the signature is only as wide as the largest pic.

Look for my new signature soon.

I bought the Recaro Bellin(young expert)i. It has audio and even padded harness. Very easy to fix and remove with the quick system. I'm 5'11 and it fits right behind me in a 997 Cs.

My wife can still sit relatively comfortably in the passenger seat (she's 5'7").

Based on the above advice, I also just ordered a Star-riser tonight, as my daughter is tall for her age and may be safer in a booster now.
Thanks. I will check out the Eddie Bauer. For short trips my son is ok in the Star Riser, but for longer trips we will use the Cayenne for now.

Lightbulb Britax Parkway booster seat

As the Britax Starriser is now discontinued, I thought I would demonstrate how the new Parkway also fits in the back of the 997 coupe.

I have a seat that I originally purchased for my 928 GTS and my daughter a few years back. I just purchased a C4S and it just so happens to fit perfectly in the back. It's narrow enough and sits securly when tethered. I'll post the model number, it's a Graco I believe. My son is 2 1/2 and weighs about 27-30 lbs.

The Parkway pictured above looks very similar to the Porsche car seat. I bought the Porsche seat and it obviously fits perfectly. I paid about $200 at the dealer after a PCA discount. And it looks cool.

I don't quite understand why everyone doesn't simply buy the OEM seat?
