These rears seats are great! They're really excellent family cars,--I just wouldn't give up those little seats for a Cayman or Boxster. (And I've had them filled with adults, too!)

A 911 to drive, a dream come true.
A child in the 911 backseat - priceless!

She will want a 911 in 30 years.

I have been to a couple of the local caffeine and octane get togethers and my C2S gets more comments about the 2 carseats in the back than anything else. Folks often do a double take and poke their friends to get them to take a look. My boys sure do love the car.

Any tips on using a booster seat in the rear? My daughter will have to use one for three years or so.

Cute pic, by the way.

Now in a cab, that is a major accomplishment. They were either short adults, or very tolerant.

They were VERY tolerant. The little ones are more tolerant!

Sometimes including the front seat passenger who has to have the seat moved forward.

I believe Porsche makes one.

Wow, whata sweetheart!

I miss those days. My little girl grew up. She's 23 and studying in Europe. I miss her. I think I'll look at the family album for a while.

With envy,

Exactly right, Dan. I figure they're good to ride comfortably in back until about 5' tall.

Here's my two daughters (1st grade & Kindergarten) hamming it up after a car show last weekend in the time-warp '69 911...
....similar to Leader's beetle anecdote, they also love the engine growl coming from behind the package shelf!

Great shot, beautiful daughter!

My 3 y/o son and 6 y/o daughter have spent tons of time in the back of my car (and my 3 y/o always says "Go Fast, Daddy!".
