I tried this and found that it wasn't possible to get a secure enough fixing for the child seat so I replaced the backs.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anybody any advice on a suitable seat for an 18 month old child that will fit on the back seat of my 996 = don't want to buy the porsche unit but do want a safe, well fitting seat. Cheers.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Check out a post I made last summer on another ;-) forum after I got my 996 http://www.911uk.com/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=4433 It won't be long before the next new arrival, due 1st June. That's another nipper not a new 997 ;-)

POST 3Original post

I currently have the Mamas and Papas Protec in the back of my 996 and it fits well. Also FYI there was a post at some point suggesting that the rear seat backs be removed to increase the legroom. I tried this and found that it wasn't possible to get a secure enough fixing for the child seat so I replaced the backs.

POST 4Original post

Hi 'Predictable' I have an original Porsche Child seat with seperate booster....would you be interested or did you discount the Porsche unit for cost reasons?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Discounted because of cost - so looking for a sub £100 option. I know, saving money on my child's safety having spent so much on the car must make me look bad! If there isn't another option I'll bite the bullet.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I am looking for a booster seat for my daughter who is just 5, would your booster be suitable Hasan? Would you split?Thanks, Ross. (Sorry for barging in like this Predictable)

POST 7Original post

I have to say I had a really hard time finding a different unit that fitted - one problem is that they obscure the access to the seat buckle - I used to get a little worried that getting someone out fast might be difficult. After all, it's hard enough getting there WITHOUT a seat in the way! The Porsche seat does fit really really welll.....[&:]

POST 8Original post

Just bought a Recaro Start which is adjustable and fits really well in the back on the lowest setting, but the "C" pillar restricts much adjustment (it is for 9 months to 12 years). My 14 month old seems to like it - he had better, he is going to Germany in it next week! It is a bit more than the budget you mentioned (about £190); I got it from Demon Tweeks. Recaro baby seat - how cool is that? [8D] Oh, it has speakers in the head rest too... "the wheels on the Porsche go round and round..."

POST 9Original post

Hi Predicatble, I can sell you the Porsche Prince Car seat and booster for £70 How does that sound?! My email address is [email removed] I live in North London and am around this weekend..... Hasan

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks for all the help - bought the M+P seat which is great, cheers.

POST 11Original post

Out of interest, how much is the porsche child seat?

POST 12Original post

Sorry just a test repeat of an earlier post as I've had forum problems and have had to be deleted and to re-register. So I'm started at 1 again Check out a post I made last summer on another ;-) forum after I got my 996 http://www.911uk.com/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=4433 It won't be long before the next new arrival, due 1st June.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The worst thing about buying my 996 was shelling out £460 for the bloody Porsche child seat. Daylight robbery. D
