child/baby seat

[skipp]

Hi all,

I just found out I'm gonna be a Dad......Does anyone have any input or experience with the Porsche child/ baby seat for an 02 cab? Can you get one for less than $800 somewhere?

Thanks

Congratulations. $800 for a Porsche seat? Yikes! I believe Britax makes the Porsche infant seat, so you can just buy that from BabiesRus or Buy Buy Baby. When our 4-year-old was an infant, I used a Graco infant carrier without the base (which didn't really fit) in our 911 coupe. It was a bit of a pain getting the infant carrier in there and then buckling the seat belt around it, so we hardly ever used our 911 as a family (still don't). If you can get an infant car seat whose base fits in and stays permanently buckled in (with the infant carrier/baby snapping in and out of the base), that should make it easier to get him/her in and out.

The other problems with baby in 911 are: (1) you have to push the front passenger so far forward to accommodate the infant car seat that there's little leg room left for your adult passenger; and (2) a baby stroller won't fit in the front luggage compartment, so you can't stray too far from your car with baby when you arrive at your destination (unless you enjoy heavy lifting). Good luck.

Skipp, I'm selling a Porsche baby seat for the front seat and it has the airbag deactivation bar. I bought it used a few months ago but now have put in gt3 seats and am setting my car up for track use so I've never even used it.

Here are some pics, I'm selling it for $300, just let me know if you're interested...

All of the things Oggie says are true, the front passenger seat is too far forward for anyone to use. It's nice to have the option of driving the kid around in the 911 though. I'm using a Britax roundabout in rear facing mode with my 4.5 month old. Dropping the kid off at daycare gets me some funny looks. :)
