Default Booster Seat

I recently purchased a 997 (C4 cab) and am looking for a booster seat that will properly fit in the back. Preferably I am looking for a booster seat with no back. Anyone have a booster seat or any suggestions? I have seen recommendations for the Britex booster or Recaro…any others?
Thanks for any guidance.

Try this one:

I have it. Fits perfectly in my cab. The back comes off so you can use only the bottom. The cupholder also comes off so it can fit right in. But be careful, unless your child is tall, the shoulder belt might sit in an unsafe position without the back and shoulder belt guide.

Due to the nature of the rear facing seats, I don't think it is possible to put them in the back. I have gone to several stores and tried every seat they had in stock with no luck. They simply stick out too far and hit the front seat even if the base fits. Technically, you can make a few fit as long as the passenger in the front seat is willing to lean over the dash and have less space than they would in the back seat anyway.

Fischer Price seat works great! thanks for the recommendations!

BMC, in my 2000 C2, I had a rear-facing car seat for my youngest and it worked fine. I moved the passenger seat forward and my wife was still OK. My oldest sat behind me...a happy family of 4 in a Porsche. Don't give up.

I, too, just purchased the Fisher Price booster seat after being recommended by a few folks on another forum. With my second child on the way, I'm curious if anyone uses an infant seat in the front, using the airbag deactivation. I would think it would be legal in most states, but I'm not sure about it's safety compared to the back.

The Fisher Price booster seat is the way to go... works great in the back for my 3yo nephew.
