Don't know what you define booster seat as. But, Porsche makes seats for all kid sizes up to 80lbs. See here: http://www.suncoastparts.com/category/997S_Child.html

I have the recaro vivo's for my 3.5 year old twins. I have a coupe but the should work. I paid $80 a piece and they have removable backs with head bolsters.

I've taken both the seat back and the bottom cushions out. The bottom cushions are held on by Velcro, just pull them up. The seat backs are held on by brackets on the left and right side and center. The left and right brackets are fairly straight forward to take off. The center bracket has a plastic trim cover that should slide toward the front of the car. This piece is tricky to pull of without breaking it. Once you pull it off you can access the bolt that secures the center bracket.

with the porsche brand seat there are no seat modifications necessary if only using the booster....not the back. most all other booster seats on the market are too wide to fit.

Fits great in the back seat of my '09 Carrera S; just got it last night at Babies R Us. Gives a bit of rear view obstruction; can't wait 'till my 4-yr-old is big/old enough to remove the back piece. The height & position gives him a great view & ample leg room.

FYI all Graco bases are too "squared off" to fit.

I have two Recaro Vivo seats in the back and did not remove the bottom or back and they fit fine.

I looks like Hella-Buggin removed the pieces and has a much more ideal fit but like I said mine are fine with no modifications. I think with the seat back removed, it will give the kids a few more inches of leg room.

I've been searching for a child seat for my 3 year old daughter and found these safty vests that I'm considering. Has anyone tried these? Eliminates wondering if the booster will fit.

Note. I also removed my seat backs in the back. One issue is the roll over protection bar. The booster will sit against this and I would think long term use could mar the fabric cover. I am likely going to put my seat back in again. The coupe has a much more kid friendly seat angle the cab is still doable. For taking my daughter to school I now normally put her in a booster in the front seat (yes I have the airbag disable).

I got the Porsche Junior Plus which can have the seat back removed to be a booster only. I took only the seat bottom off and it feels like it added a little more room but did not take seat back out as another forum member mentioned that I'll need to take both seat backs out but I need the other one for my older son.

Go with the Recaro Vivo. Great seat, great fit (with seats removed).
