Child Car Seat for 996

I have a 2002 Targa and I am looking for a booster seat for my 4 year old. Can anyone recommend a seat tha fits in the back seat.

The Porsche toddler seat is probably your best bet. I used to use it in my cab but it was a little tight because the cab's rear seatbacks are very upright compared to a coupe's.

Britax makes the seats for Porsche and Mercedes so if you want to save a few bucks and don't mind that it doesn't say Porsche on it, get a Britax. That doesn't mean that they are the same seats. Mercedes uses a sensor system to deactivate the front airbag and Porsche uses a physical connection to deactivate it. If you plan on using it in the front, you need to get the Porsche seat with deactivation harness to turn off the airbag.

I have the Britax Bodyguard "Racer" seat, bought it for my 4yr old son to use in my 993 back seat, but despite what I was told, it doesn't fit--it fits 996 back seat not 993.

Brand new, in box, never sat in, still in plastic wrapping it came in, bought this summer, haven't used it. If you want to, I'll sell you mine. Cost $130, I'd sell it for $95 + whatever shipping is on your nickel (ups or fedex ground is cheap).

PM me if interested.

I have the same seat and it works great & my son loves it, though I use it in my cayenne. In my carrera I have the same seat from britax as the porsche seat, but I only use the booster part. You only need the special porsche seat if you want to use it in the front seat so you can turn off the airbag. I should mention my son's just turned 5 and has been sitting in my carrera since about 4 years old.
