That's actually what I was referring to(if you're talking about the metal tabs that usually stick up behind the seat). If you check the manual - it says the Canadian version actually has the child seat tabs in the back. Kinda weird that it didn't make it in to the US version. I've heard Canada has tougher laws on sports cars so I'd guess Porsche only did it out of requirement.

 

Very nice. I need one for my lil one soon.

 

my car is not a canadian one, it is a US.

actualy, i used the seat belt to hook it up but i still use the top latch which you got to use if the seat is facing forward. This hook is present in US model as it was in mine.

i had to modify the stock seat belt latch as it is pointing to much towards the front and it is not swivel like any other car.

what i had to do is to bend two small forks that are used to keep the belt in place while you bolt it down i guess. Then i had to cut the carpet a little bit so that i could put the latch pointing more toward the top than the front. Yeah i know, not for the faint of heart, i tried not to cut too many so that the little plastic part that hides the bolts still hides the missing carpet.

i have kept the bottom of the seat cause it was sitting to low if i removed it. i just put a big towel under the child seat to make sure it wouldn't damage the leather.

 

cute babies

 

ok, just went out and took some pics since there seems to be some interest on this.

here you can see the rear latch system, every 996 should have that, although you might have the bose system in the way, i don't have that so no clue.



here you can see the stock seat belt i had to modify, you can see on the driver side (right of the pic) the latch is pointing towards the front (not modified) while the other one is more upward.



here you can see i would have needed to put it even higher but the shape of the thing didn't allow it so... You can see the seat belt is a little twisted.



here is from outside, at least we see it well since the belts are red

 

YES!!!! Thank you !!! I've been working on this all afternoon and what a revelation to discover that if you cut the small tab at the bottom of those flaps, it reveals a tether hook ! No my daughter's Britax "Frontier" combo child seat/booster eat fits snugly using the short belt path... the long belt path was just slightly too long for the 996's belts. and it comes in pink... cool daddy, daughter racing look.

 

I love it! Good choice on the seat.

 

just installed a few weeks ago, took a alot of research to get it done properly without movement. needless to say she loves it.

 

You got a Frontier to fit? Really? Man, I'm excited now! I had a Frontier in my 5 series and thought I'd have to sell it off as I thought the width wouldn't allow it to fit in the rear of my 997.

Did you remove the seat back or the cushion? And, how far does it protrude over the front of the rear seat cushion (hopefully that made sense)

Will try it this w/e. Thanks!

 

wow that fits? what brand is that? i tried to get one in there, and it didnt fit the seat area.

 

using the shoulder belt and tether coupled with a seat belt tightener found at babies r us, really gets it in there with no movement whatsoever. the seat is sitting on a towel to give it some room to cinch down when drawn tight.

 

Looks great and he looks stoked to be in there! He's got plenty of room to grow into it, almost looks like you could fit a grown man in that seat!

 

that is too cute bro... Mom did an amazing job!! You go girl!!
Gotta work on the cap though..... lol.... thanks for sharing!!

 

Ferrari hat and riding in a Porsche, now that is good parenting!!

 

Hahaha, love the seats and the hat too. That kid sure looks happy to be in that car... I know I would be too.
