Hi all
Per the subject, does anyone here have a recommendation with regards to a front facing toddler seat I can put in the front of my 993? Just thought I'd check before I head to halfrauds and buy something

My car is a cabriolet so I have lapbelts in the rear which I don't feel like changing to 3 pointers (unless I can source USDM parts!)

How old is the toddler. I have a forward facing seat for the rear I bought from a forum member that my 3.5 year old is just.about to outgrow. You would need 3 point belts but it is a great fit.
 
I use a Maxi Cosi Rodi SPS but it does require 3 point belts. It fits well in the back of the 993 and would fit the front fine but you'll need to deactivate the passenger airbag somehow.
Age range is 3 1/2 upwards so uses the cars seatbelt for restraint.
 
My daughter has just turned 3 and weighs 13.5kg I have a concord ultimax which would fit perfectly in the back if I had 3 point belts, but instead it's in my merc.

Challenge with the front is the shape of the comfort seats and sort of dip below the headrest section
 
I don't think that the passenger airbag needs deactivating if the seat is front facing?
 
I've just tried the Rodi in the front seat as I also have the standard comfort seats. I see what you mean about the headrest shape as it holds the back of the seat forwards. I would imagine all seats will have the same issue though. :dont know:

have you git a pic of the rodi in the back seats please? they look like a great option!
 
Thanks for trying the rodi and sending the pic through, much appreciated...

I'll check the Porsche parts catalogues as there must be a way around this. I think 996 comfort seats are similar in size

My mistake

I'll see if I've a picture of the Rodi in the back or if not I'll take one later.
It does fit well although I could do with the extended rear belts now though.

Excellent, thankyou in advance.
 
Here you go.
I also find it best to buckle the seat belt into the opposite side. It seems to hold the seat firmer.
