What a smile. I love to see Porsches being used for everything and everyone. I briefly used mine with my kids.

the car seat is a britax roundabout

i removed both upper and lower rear seat components. place a folded towel on the flat carpet platform where the seat bottom was velcroed in place. use the lap belt to get the seat as tight as possible. i used an aftermarket aparatus purchased at toys r us or babies r us, that is essentially a ratchet mechanism that draws the lap and shoulder belt tight so the seat cannot budge. once that is complete cinch down the tether strap and the seat will not move a millimeter. tech commitees at the DE events love to bust my chops about it, but when they touch the seat trying to shake it, they realize it doesnt give so it is no longer an issue.

I used one. It is great. Be careful to install it so you can loosen it. Ask me how I know.

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!
Sorry I missed this... here you go.

Just one of the reasons that I went with a Porsche, I love the little pup seats for the kids.

I am trying to get two forward facing car seats (Radian 100) installed tightly in the back of my 997.2 cab. I bought the Mighty Tite, but don't see how it can work since there is basically no room to attach it to the seat belt -- the car seat sits right up against the side interior and the seat belt runs behind the car seat. Do you have any pictures of your Mighty Tite installation?

Thanks!
