Booster car seat question
Yes, I know the question comes-up often but I cannot find a definitive answer.
I've found a dealer that has the Porsche Plus booster seat in stock from Britax, but I prefer not to spend $300.00 on it.

Are there any other booster seats (high back or just the seat) that will fit in the rear?
I saw the Graco Turbo booster base at Baby's R Us and the seat was only $30.00, but I have no clue if it fits.
Any help?

Booster seat
I used the graco booster in my 2004 c4s. Not sure if the c4s has a slightly wider rear seat than non-widebody. Had to make very very slight adjustment and plane off about 1" from each side in the base and it fit perfect and snug.
Unlike with a regular car seat, the booster is only to put the kid in the proper postion for the cars seat belt, so the adjustment doesnt affect safety.
Definitely glad i went the $30 route

Harmony literider
FYI,
When I use my harmony literider booster, I do not remove the seat cushions in the back of my 996. I just put the booster directly on the existing seat. I guess it depends on how your kids fit in the resulting seat.
Also, the armrests of the booster do interfere a bit with access to the seatbelt buckle mechanism. I have seen a modification to the arms of the booster that make buclke access easier. I'm thinking of trying it.

Highly recommend using the hairdryer to soften the seat and pull the armrests closer together. Updated thread with more pictures.

+1 for the Harmony--inexpensive, effective, as comfortable as a Graco (according to my 5-year old), and available in a variety of colors and designs. I have the Graco TurboBooster in my other cars, but bottom is just too wide for my C4S. The Harmony's handles are a bit obtrusive, but I haven't performed any surgical modifications. Besides, my son stopped complaining about them being in the way after a few days!

Lol, are you kidding? I think the post I linked to has gone over practically all seats available in one post or another.

recaro vivo!
I just had the similar problem. I purchased a recaro vivo from target online ... cost me $99. It's really nice - it has a very sturdy headrest which will protect the child in case of a sideways collision. I had to remove the seat bottom (rips right out - velcro). After that, it fit perfectly! I have a 2000 996 C2. The recaro looks really nice too... black to match the black leather interior. Highly recommend it.
