For the Roundabout, I removed the back seat both top and bottom, then replaced the seat cushion with some high density foam (about 3 inch thick) and reversed the seat belt (receiver end).

Suggestion
However, I make it work so I can run around town for short trips here and there with my 2 year old since he always says "Daddy, please take Turbo".

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm planning to purchase a 2002 targa, out of town, while on vacation with my wife and 9mo son. He just graduated from his infant seat, due to weight, and is now rides in an Evenflo Symphony 65 when we drive our Mitsubishi Lancer.
I must find a rear-facing seat that accomodates a 22+ pound kid that will fit in the back seat of the Targa.
If this is absolutely impossible, my whole dream vacation will be pooched!!
I've searched the forum but everybody only references small infant seats and forward-facing seats, as far as I've seen.
Please help urgently!

While I can't say for sure a seat will or not fit, the larger issue with the rear facing seat is
1) If you put it in the rear, the front seat becomes useless (must be moved all the way forward and possibly, tilted forward.. plus you will never be able to contort yourself or child into and out of, the rear facing seat
2) not sure you can run it in front, unless all airbags can be turned off, and the wife rides in the rear
3) I'd simply suggest waiting till "junior" can sit forward.. problem kind of solves itself that way.
We couldn't find a thing. There was that time gap from about 7 or 8 months until 1 year that we couldn't put our boy in the p-car. Funny thing, we actually bought another car just so we had another car that would accommodate a rear facing seat that would go up to the weight we needed. But in the "compact" size rear facing seats you won't find what you are looking for.
This is what I used (and still use)

Here it is on Amazon

The price is probably competitive, but I bought my seats several years ago and do not know the current price.
The price might seem steep, but bear in mind that if you choose to this seat will last right up until the child no longer has to be in a seat (personally, I've gone for smaller and smaller seats as my kids get older), then it's great value for money.
In terms of safety, there's no beating a Recaro seat.
Anyone heard of (or tried) a Graco Snugride 32? It's an infant style seat that is good up to 32lbs and 32 inches. I need to find a neighbour with one and swap for my vacation (if it will fit...)
Anyone?
I've wondered about the same thing and this is my current configuration for both kids.
It doesn't really help for the fact that Porsche no longer makes this exact model but they do come up for sale time to time...
The problem is fitment of a rear facing. We have gone through countless iterations to find the best seats possible here. I even started a thread last year about what models work best, etc..
The Graco snugride is the only rear facing that fits properly AND allows for somebody to somewhat sit in the seat in front. That is why most of us have a gap from about 7 or 8 months until 1 year so we can move to a forward facing.
I know you really want it to work, but there isn't a solution that is both funtional (allow somebody to sit in front as well) as well as SAFE.
Regardless if it's forward facing(non booster seat) or rearward facing, I can't see how anyone can sit comfortably that is 5'9" or taller. I'm 5'8" and have the forward facing seat behind me with my 12 mo son and it is on the brink of being tight.
My wife that is 5'4" on the passenger side with the rearward facing factory Porsche baby seat(Britax) that is also on the brink of being tight.
This is clearly for the shorter Sunday drives and not long trip solutions imo.
my $.02
How about mounting the child seat dead center using both rear seat belts? With rear seats folded down. Also could try removing seat cushions to lower child seat. This can't be that hard to come up with something.
alpine...totally agree. I am 6'1" and long legged and it's VERY tight for me to drive. However, I make it work so I can run around town for short trips here and there with my 2 year old since he always says "Daddy, please take Turbo". Melts your heart.
I think a lot if not all Porsche owner's that are new dad's are going to agree. I know for me that is one of the appeals of having a Porsche w/ rear seats(small but seats nontheless) and still be considered in the exotic sports car category. To be able to cart around your family(albeit with slightly less comfort) is priceless and more than makes up for it with the smiles you see from your loved ones being able to share the thrilling ride with you. K, gonna stop getting so sentimental...
Britax Companion fits great for rear facing!
...then Roundabout for forward facing.
For the Roundabout, I removed the back seat both top and bottom, then replaced the seat cushion with some high density foam (about 3 inch thick) and reversed the seat belt (receiver end). I press the seat hard into the foam and it locks down tight. ...longer time in that seat - up to 35+ lbs.
