my buddy has 2 boys in the 8-10 yr old range. they ride in the back. he actually sold the car and bought a 355 ferrari and now wants a 997 tt since his boys can't ride in the ferrari.

So far I have recaro seat on the back for my 3 years old girl , but soon I will need to add infant seat , that's my issue , I don't see how I do that , this is only 3 miles one way to day care but still

roger911 is on a distinguished road
Yup. Two kids in back. One is in a forward-facing child seat. The 'bucket' seat is very narrow in the back of these cars so I had to measure the width and then take my tape measure to all the places that sell car seats and that have them on display so I could measure the actual seats. Walmart was the place that I finally found one that fit. On the other side, my other daughter sits in a rear-facing infant seat; and that fits too, no problem. But... The rear-facing seat requires the vehicle seat ahead of it to be slid all the way forward. Good thing my wife is 5'2''.

Otherwise, that set-up would not work.

infant seat on the pass side. recaro seat behind the driver and slide it up. only have to suffer with your knees in the dash for 3 miles!

I drive with my wife and 2 teenage daughters all the time - not cross country, but fun little runs around town. They love it - their heads stick up and their hair is blowing everywhere.

I believe there is a bar you have to purchase that disables the passenger front airbags. Contact your local Porsche dealer or online dealers on the right side here for info. Then you can use a rear facing car seat in the front passenger seat.
