I know this question has been asked here and in other forums, but I wanted to get a recent update on experiences/recommendations.

My wife and I are expecting our first child and we both agreed to keep the 997.1 as our only car (We live in Chicago so most things can be done without a car). What baby seats for a newborn fit in the 997.1 in the rear or does it need to be mounted on the passenger seat?

Also what kind of stroller will fit in the trunk or the backseat?

Thanks for any advice/help with this!

 

We just took our 7 month old for a trip in the 997.1. He had to ride rear-facing in the front pass. seat (I don't think any infant rear-facing seats fit in the back). My wife sat behind me (we're not tall) and we were both able to look at him the whole way (mostly my wife). It was a great experience; the loud noises from the car and stiff suspension really put him to sleep!

Only problem is, I had to rely on the automatic weight sensor of the passenger airbag (look for the light to turn on next to the gear shifter) as I didn't realize our cars needed an optional airbag disable module to be installed. Once installed, you can turn off the airbag completely with your key. We didn't bring the stroller with us bc our maclaren frame only stroller won't fit in the car. We brought along an ergo/baby bjorn to help carry him as needed, but we mostly held him in our hands
