Question Any baby seats for the REAR fit?

Do any baby seats fit in the rear seats of the 996TT??? I have searched and only find the Porsche isofix seats they sell on their website. But they all indicate to use them on the front seats. Are there any rear seat based baby seats that fit?

Are you looking for front facing or rear facing. I often put one of each in my car and my family of 4 takes a drive together.

after a long search,the front facing seat I bought from target. It is branded as Eddie Bauer. My rear facing seat is a regular Graco seat

As short as the rear seats are, doesn't the rear facing hang over too much? As I recall, it is supposed to be less than 20%.

Please please every body reply to this post. I have the same problem there is so much conflicting advise.
I want a Baby seats in the rear of my 2002 996tt and I dont care which way they face so long as its legal and safe for Rug Rats.
Frank

ps although by the time I get the car properly back on the road the Rug Rat will want the keys and the front seat

I went with a recaro vivo full booster seat. They need to be at least 30lbs or 3 years old but fit awesome.

I have tried a few and have a target special called Costco installed front facing seat. I removed the rear seat (folding back and seat v
cushion) and I made plenty of room. Search on the subject it has been tackled a few times. The other trick is to use a ratchet device to secure it in place. All available at BabsRus or Target.

A friend of mine removed the rear seats and fit a child seat (forward facing) with plenty of head and leg room. If I remember correctly, at one time he tried it rear facing and couldnt get in with the baby nor contort to put him in the seat.

I use Recaro Vivo booster seats and they fit fine.

This info needs to be updated often as it seems like the models change quickly. This is a Graco (can't find the model number), but it's two years old and fits very nicely. The only issue is that 996's don't have the LATCH system, so you have to rely on the old-school method of using the seat belt to secure the car seat... which seems less secure due to the additional play, but may be just as safe? Anyway, my 3 y.o. loves being dropped off at school in the Turbo

Everyone is showing front facing toddler seats. Those work fine, just about any of them.

I believe the OP is asking for rear facing infant seats. I don't believe one can be safely installed. The seats are too short.
