Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought the Porsche Junior Seat Isofix G 1 (part number 95504480609), which the documentation says will fit in the back of a 997.2. I'm just wondering if anyone else has any experience doing so. I've tried and the fit doesn't seem that good to me. It doesn't seem possible to install it without folding or bunching up the seat belt, which is something the instruction manual specifically warns against. Not sure if this is as good as it's going to get. I thought I'd cracked the child seat problem by buying the offical seat that says it fits, but it still doesn't fit very well! Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience using the seat in the back of a 997.2. I tried with and without the seat base. Here is the seat installed without the seat base: And here it is with the seat base:

POST 2Original post

I have a 997.1 and the same child seat. Same issue as you. I do manage to put my hand through the back of the child seat (with it fully reclined) and pull a bit more the belt than you've shown so it fits properly into that "catch". However, there seems to be enough play in there to seriously make me wonder how effective it would be in an impact... I think that the issue is Porsche issue the same seat across the range. Therefore this seat will fit great in the 4 door cars, but not so much in the 911.
