Baby seat recommendation for 997TT?

Hello Team! I have a 997TT and a 4.5 month old - looking to enjoy both at the same time Has anyone found a rear seat solution that allows for the front passenger seat to stay useable? I have the Peg Perego in my daily... not a fit.

Thanks in advance

Check out the Combi Coccoro.

It is small and compact.

Note that to properly install the Coccoro, you must use the top tether strap. You can loop the tether D link to the seat railing then hook up the to tether to it.

The crappy reviews on Amazon are because people don't RTFM and don't use the top tether, so they can get the seat secured properly.

Here are pictures of it in my E30 325is, which has tiny back seat area. Length wise it's not much longer than that of a 997 Turbo. Had we had a 997 Turbo instead of a 996 GT2 when we had our son, we probably would have kept the car.

I think you should go with something like this, up to 6-9 months there are it could be very compact.

up to 9-12 months where the baby faces backwards, theres no way to put a seat into a 997 TT.

Thats why I use a F30 / E46 M3 as daily.

Thanks all for the replies - TwinturboM3, I do have a daily, but would love to take the little man with me when I use the TT for weekend coffee runs. I assume you are correct that until we are ready for a forward facing option, there is just no way... but perhaps someone here has tried something that works? Someone... help

I am inclined to agree.

It can be done with the Combi Coccoro.

It is quite a bit smaller than other seats out there.

I called Recaro, they recommended I measure against their "Pro-Ride", between that and my proximity to the geniuses at GMG - might be worth a try?

Anyone here fitted a Pro-Ride? Pics?
