Not this one again!!! Just to let you family people out there know that I have successfully found a child seat that fits in the back of a 993. After recommendations from both this site and Piston Heads I spent last week end trying to get a suitable child seat for the back of my 993 which will do 0-4yrs or 12month - 4 years. I was quite surprised to find that not one of the seats advised fit correctly. I think people have to be very careful about terms like "fitted mine perfectly" the trained staff dismissed every seat as not suitable so again beware of peoples diffrent perspective of correct fittings!! However I bought a CONCORD Ultimax from mothercare just before christmas for my day to day car and thought i'd try that for size. Amazingly it fitted perfectly with the only strange thing being you have to plug the seat belt into the unit in the seat adjacent. I drove to Mothercare this week end and got a member of staff to check the installation which she thought was perfect. The only cause for any concern was that the red release button was bending towards the bump that seperates the 2 seats but is well clear and she mentioned to ensure we dont stuff a toy or anything like that under neath it which may catch on the release button. The plus side to this is that childrens wandering fingers cant release the seat!! Obviously I am not including the Porsche recommended seats in this. But be aware, I'd always seek acceptance by some one who is trained on the installation of seats and not go by the say so of some one who's trying to flog one, secondly this option of a new seat gives you peace of mind that the seat has not had any impacts in its life time. ps this is not an attack on any member who has found a diffrent seat to be suitable for them selves! Bye the way the seat is a 0-4yrs, so now I can keep my pride and joy and spend many a day out in it as a family now.
