I bought my 911
specifically as a family car. I was going to buy a Vantage but after driving the 911 the utility of the car won me over. Not to mention it flat out drives better than the vantage. Its not my only car , but it is getting chosen for almost every trip that does not involve putting lots of stuff in the car.

Great idea on removing the rear seats, will be doing that today!! I took the family for a nice drive last weekend, but it was a little cramped....but still thought how great it was that I could turn my 911 into a family car..lol

I'm going to go with these if I can confirm they fit.

I have them in the back of the family passat and we love them, although we have the old version from Safeguard.
They require LATCH on either side of the seat, and a hook/loop behind top center. I'm not sure how I'd handle that, but I'll check it out when I get the car.

I think my kids are too old for that. I guess I should be paying more att'n to the thread title: "Infant Seats". my bad...
My kids are 3, 5, and 7, so I think the 'Go' is better suited.

I wish Porsche would make their seats available here again!
I too scoured the forums for a seat for our daughter (18 mo.). Bought a few and returned them because the fit was compromised. I ended up with the previous generation Porsche Junior Seat which I got off of Craig's list. Safety seems merely adequately, but at least it fits well.
The newer version of the Junior seat has a 5 point harness and looks much safer and better. I ordered one from 800-PORSCHE back in October a month after I got my car, and after many postcards stating it was on backorder I cancelled last month and got the older used seat.
Why can't the manufacturer of the Porsche seats (Britax I believe) simply produce and sell a Porsche version of their seats labelled 'Porsche compatible' through normal retailers like Babies R Us etc..? That way Porsche has no liability concerns or other issues.
I think many Cayenne and now also Panamera owners would buy a Porsche Design edition Britax seat?
Good luck,
DRP

While not wanting to incure the rath of all the young dad's in the group but for some strange reason the boy racer in me doesn't want to accept the notion that these cars where designed to chauffeur small human's in baby seats. Does the term "mini van" mean anything to you ?
Maybe if you all write in to Porsche they'll come out with a mini van. ( Not all that far fetched when you think about it given their current lineup of vehicles) They could call it Haulababarerra or Childeseatamara. Sorry, just having a little fun at your expense but it strikes me as more than a little bizarre that baby seats and Porsche Carreras should be mentioned in the same sentence. Next thing you now someone will ask how to get their son's soccer team into their 911 Cab without lowering the top.

I guess I'll be in the minority of those that wish there were a good infant seat for the backseats. Does my infant daughter HAVE to ride the TT? Of course not. We have 2 other family mobiles for that job. But as it is, now my wife can never ride in the car with me unless we leave the little one at home with the dog....hmmm....nope...bad idea

The reason I bought the GT-R, is that I could take my three kids with me everywhere I go.
