I have scanned the existing booster seat threads but they all suggest hard to find/ discontinued seats.
I found one that looks promising. Maxi-Cosi Rodi XR Booster Car Seat. Has anyone tried it in a 997.1 C4S Cab? Looks like it should fit but I would love to get a confirmation before I order it.

Hello, I am a new Powner. Been scanning these threads for days looking for exciting mods. Baby seat is most important mod as it will enable me to drive the car more often...

i use the porsche seat - and have a vivo also for the other car.
removing the back rests give about 3" more for the kids. and using a full booster rather than just the bottom provides more head protection.

Vivo fits in the back of the cab but it is very difficult to get the seat belt buckled due to the shape of the seat bottom. The booster seat's backrest is also angled pretty far forward making it somewhat uncomfortable if you do not remove the Cabs back seat backrest.

I found a local place that carries the Maxi-Cosi Rodi XR. Fits fine but its a pain to buckle the seat belt. Removing the back cushion from the car allows for ample leg room. The booster is well cushioned all around. I couldn't sit in it to tell you if its comfortable or not but judging by my sons grin it couldn't have been bad. He was humming to the engine sound the whole time!

I am getting fed up with the Maxi-Cosi Rodi XR! Buckling the seat belt is a chore. Do those of you with the Porsche booster have the same problem in the Cabriolet? Is it easy to buckle and unbuckle?

None of the seats are easy to get buckled due to the narrowness of the seat area resulting from the size of the "hump". The biggest problem with the Vivo and other seats is that the opening for the seat belt on the side is not very deep (it does not open far enough towards the back to give you any room to work the seat belt). The Porsche Plus Child Seat (Part #95504480103) has a pretty deep opening and is therefore manageable. (See circled area in attached photo). Hope this helps.

Anybody have a link for the Porsche seat, cant find it on the Porsche site? My kids are 5, 4 and 2 and are all dying for a ride in "Sally"! Sally is the name of the Porsche in the movie Cars. haha
As far as the link for the front seat, I am not too keen on putting a kid in the front.

I have a Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster with removable back and optional side cupholder. It fits great with an adjustable width less than 14". It was actually made by Britax but unfortunately was discontinued at the time I was shopping. I was lucky enough to find a few extra when I bought one for my daughter, so I snagged all they had (one for my wife's S6 with rear bench bucket seats and the others for potential passenger nieces and nephews). So far we haven't used those others, so I have them available if anyone is interested. They are still new in the box. Just send me a PM if interested or if you have any more questions about this model.
Thx, David
