Hi

I'm thinking of buying a 924S or 944. I'd like to be able to get my kids in the back safely (aged 6 and very nearly 4) but the seats look very small. How do people find these cars for kids? Does anyone have any recommendations for child seats. Preferably not costing a small fortune
 
If you have a booster seat that was broken down from a full size seat then chances are it won't fit. I had to get my daughter a new seat only booster seat from Halfords for around £18 (cheaper ones are available but this one was pink lol). They should let you try the fit in the car before you fork out the dosh for it. They do hang over the front of the seats a little but it's perfectly safe and the kids are comfy enough. In fact they love going in the Porsche.
 
Thanks for the info Rob. Do you know which model it was off-hand ? ... doesn't matter at all if you don't. Really for now it's just good to know this won't get in the way of buying one [:)]
 
Just Halford's own mate. Like I said they should let you try before you buy. Be thankful you aren't buying a 911 mate. You would struggle getting the kids in without car seats [:D]
 
Good luck with that mate. My advice would be to spend as much as you can possibly afford. I also agree with others that you should put aside a repair fund of around £1000 - £1500 for the first year of ownership. Lol welcome to classic Porsche ownership [:D]
 
If you just need boosters then I have found this one fits nicely as it has a curved base: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_714457_langId_-1_categoryId_165554 annoyingly it is now half-price, having paid £17 for mine 3 weeks ago! it fits so much better for my 6 year old boy than the britax square one If you need a full deat then The Marketing director of Recaro has fitted one of his seats into a 968, I will have to dig out the thread on the 968 forum to get the exact model number
