Porsche Prince Child seat - Page 1 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

Does anybody have one they no longer need ?? My 996 C2 Cab arrives next week and the wife will kill me as I'm the one who has to do the crech run every morning. Willing to pay top dollar !! Help Keep losing out in the dying seconds on ebay and time is running out for me. Hope someone can help Best regards Gibo

Check Auto Trader and Ebay for 944's I saw one last week that said he had a Prince Baby seat with it. Maybe he will sell separately

Try looking to the international sellers on Ebay - I got mine from Germany - generally cheaper too. Not too much for postage, as they're very light.... Good luck.

Good idea I'll have a look what spec /colour 944 was it ?

Might be worth calling a few of the independent specialists. I know my local one had a couple of seats a year or so ago (both long gone) as they came complete with cars in trade in! Many years ago I bought a Ford Cortina for £150, when I got it home turned out to have a stash of 'gentleman's entertainment videos' in the boot. Not relevant to the discussion but brings back fond memories! >> Edited by LeeME3 on Friday 19th May 12:56

I was also looking for one but the prices were pretty ridiculous for a second hand seat. I got a Britax Kid-plus which is superb and comfortable - Gabby loves it. £99 and fits fine in the back of the 3.2 Carrera.

www.carnewal-europe.com/main.htm might be worth a look.

He is only 14 months so those seats are too big. Really need a Porsche Prince We do have a Maxi Cosi XP but I can't afford to wait until the car turns up to try it. Otherwise I will be walking 6 miles every morning !! (Now all I'm getting is "I told you not to buy that car!!" I'll ring round the local independent dealers etc, don't suppose the OPC hang on to the old seats as they want to charge over £500 for £100 seat. Really don't think companys should profit out of child saftey. My Audi used to have a key slot in the glovebox for disabling the Airbags, makes great sense. Don't they make enough on the cars!!!

I know you've tried the Ebay thing, but try this link - the seat is not listed as 'prince, so might not attract as much attention. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-Childs- Last 'second' bidding is what's needed, and make sure you put in a reasonably high maximum bid..... £250 should be enough, and you may get it for a lot less, but dont bid too early.

If you do go for an ebay one make sure you snipe it. www.auctionsniper.com is good if you don't have any software.

I suppose thats the only option, Unless someone has one languishing in the garge shed or loft??? Thanks for all your suggestions

I have one that I have been thinking about replacing as I no longer have a Porsche and now have isofix in my car. There are other seats that fit ok in a 911. We also have a Recaro Sport that worked well.

Hi uonlyhavetwoseats I have sent you an email Best regards Grant

Sorry to go slightly off topic but this reminded me of when I bought a ford fiesta many years ago,and the horn did not work.I checked all the connections under the bonnet and everything was ok so took off the steering wheel boss(you pressed the centre of the steering wheel for the horn),and found a pair of ladies knickers hidden in the boss which was preventing the horn from working.Wondering how they got there and how odd it was I decided to investigate further and for some inexplicable reason put the knickers to my nose and smelt them to see if they were clean or dirty.The smell has horrendous!!! Sorry again and back to topic a friend did have the seat(and also the porsche pushchair which fits in the boot of the 911)I want to buy the pushchair off him myself as I have a 997 and we have a baby on the way,but I will ask him if he still has the seat and if so will pm you.

I feel sick !! Thanks let me know

Gibo, are you bidding on the seat...?

Having gone through the somewhat challenging process of having to find a car seat to fit a 911 and eventually managing to source a Porsche Prince car seat I notice there is one on Ebay at the moment in case anyone is looking for one. They seem to becoming harder to find these days. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195111916181

I have the Mercedes badged version which I used some 17 years ago. (How the f k did that happen) I would be amazed if it was still legal.

I've got a pair of prince seats left over from my 993 small kids days Wife has nagged me so often to get rid of them I'll give them away PM me ETA - they've found a home Edited by oddman on Monday 6th June 07:51

They seem to becoming harder to find these days. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195111916181 For anybody looking for a car seat for their 911 I've put together a list of seats that other owners have said will fit. Some (all?) require the removal of the seat cushion for use in the rear. Britax Duo-Plus Britax Evolva 1-2-3 Britax Evolva Plus Britax 2-Way Elite Britax Kid Plus BeSafe iZi Comfort X3 Mamas and Papas Pro-Tec (Discontinued) Maxi-Cosi Tobi (Discontinued) Bit more context and info via my profile. It's an evolving list and happy to have any feedback from owners - I've never quite manage to catch a 996 myself, despite having looked at plenty. Regarding legality of the Porsche Prince Seat, that one on eBay has an R44/03 label which is still one of the current legislation standards. I wouldn't carry my children in a seat over 10 years old, but legally, assuming the child is the right weight for the seat (9-18kg) you'll be compliant.
