Child seat

[raj611]

quick question

Can the passenger airbag be turnoff by a key, four when there is a child in the passenger seat?

also does anyone have any good recommendation of child seat for a 987 Gen 1, to fit a 6 year old

thanks

Yes there is a key switch on the left hand end of the dashboard visible when the door is fully open in the 987.

It's an option to have the airbag disable switch and isofix anchor points fitted so unlikely you have it or very lucky. The switch is fitted where described above. The isofix anchor points are discreet. Around £250 to have it fitted IIRC but I could be way off as it was some time ago & I had a short shifter fitted to my 987 at the same time!

Back when I needed one, Porsche was using Britax to make their seats and there'd be a Britax model that looked almost identical for less. Don't know if that's still the case but have a look at the Porsche seats and then see what they resemble. It was quite easy visually. The isofix attachments on the Britax were hinged and so I could put quite a thick piece of polystyrene under the seat base to both protect the Porsche seat base and raise the child seat away from the side of the Porsche seat, yet still get the isofix attachments to swivel down on their hinge to reach the anchor points. Clear as mud?! :-D

If your car already has it fitted you'll have this indicator fitted also.

I must have been lucky my 987 came with Isofix, not that I looked for it as I had no kids when I bought it. My 2 year old loves sitting up front and shouting "again" "again" when I drop a gear and accelerate which does nothing for fuel consumption!
