Forward facing car seat in rear of 997TT?

Forward facing child seat or booster?
Porsche sells a rebranded but custom Britax? booster. There have been several threads on 6speed about altering seats (i.e. removing the base off a front facing child seat) to make forward facing child seats fit in the back. I looked into this myself and even contacted Britax who not surprisingly said this is NOT safe.
Bottom line: if they're not big enough to go into a booster, you can probably make something work, but IMO, it's just not a good idea.

Maybe the Recaro ProSport. I just ordered one for my RS, but for the front seat. It's a combination harness/booster without a large base and it's suitable for a wide range of kids. You can try mine if you want, I'll have it Monday. I also have the Recaro ProRide, but that has a fairly large base, so it may not fit.

True. The reason I mentioned the ProSport is because it is sized like a booster, but is a harness that can accommodate younger and smaller kids than most boosters. I think that seat has the best chance of fitting in the back of a TT since it doesn't have a large base.

forward facing, not a booster. I definitely wouldn't want to alter the car seat at all. Thanks for the offer to try the seat, Ara. I don't have the car yet to try it in! But obviously before I buy I'll have to investigate and come up with a solution. Was hoping someone had it all figured out.

The two car seats I've seen in the backs of 997s were both full child safety seats, not boosters. The one in the TT was a Recaro IIRC and the other was another big name one. I believe Porsche sells a rebranded Recaro specifically for their cars. Let us know what you end up buying. I'll need to get one too for when my daughter's old enough to face forward....
