Car Seat for 997 Cabriolet

Okay, I know it's not a family car, I have two others for family duty. However, my 2.5 year old daughter loves fast cars and likes to ride with me with the top down. My 08 M3 Convertible was recently totaled in a fire, and I'm thinking of a 997 Cab. Has anyone had success with a car seat in the back of the 997 Cabs? If so, please share make and model.

Gator Skin is infamous around these parts
Recaro Vivo for the older kids or Britax Roundabout (not the 50 or 55) for smaller ones.

I've got two Vivos for my 4S coupe, and one thing that isn't often mentioned is that the base can be separated from the back rest part. Doing this eliminates the aggressive head bolstering that tends to limit your child's view. In a cab that's less of a worry, but as your kids get bigger the base-only option is nice to have.

Says who? I'm trading my 4-door C63 for a 997.2 as my daily daycare hauler.

Britax roundabout works great here. Been driving my kids in it since 2006, summer/fall/winter & spring!
