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.

I know this is like beating a dead horse but I have done a search and found very different opinions. It seems like everyone has a different opinion of what the term "excellent fit" means. Not to mention that many of the recommended seats have been discountinued.
I am looking for a forward facing seat that fits my 996TT perfect. An excellent fit is acceptable.
After seeing many seats in the back of other P-owners cars, I have come to realize that over 75% of them are not installed properly. Half the time they just flop around in the back or are quite off angle. I know the factory Porsche seat fits but it is crazy money.
It seems like there is four ways of installing a child seat.
1) with the rear back seat bottom and rear seat back in place.
2) without the back seat bottom but with rear seat back in place.
3) with the rear seat bottom but without the rear seat back in place.
4) without the back seat bottom and backing.
What seat are you guys using that works very well?
I'm not looking for a compromise or just an OK fit.
Thanks,
Al
PS. Anyone have a receint production excellent condition OEM child seat they don't need anymore?
I use this one to keep my burrito from making a mess in my car when it rolls around on the floor. It always arrives safe & ready to eat:
It's called the Sparco Evo-B in case you're wondering, & the helmet is an Arai GP5-Mini
Booster or convertible?
The 996 is so much bigger than a 993 back seat, you have lots of choices. I have the Maxi Cosi Rodi, and it fits very well. Just enough room on the sides to fasten the seatbelt, but pretty snug.
Boosters will "just flop around" since they're not attached to the car in any way when the kid isn't in them.
Is your child old enough for a booster? (to raise the kid up so the factory belts cross correctly?) I have one that fits very nicely.
I can check on the brand, if you'd like.
