Child Booster Seat

Can anyone recommend a Child Booster Seat which fits in the back of a 997 CAB. I understand that there are a few which are narrow enough in the rear to fit. The actual seat I would think is as safe or safer because it is low and protected. I drop my daughter off at school a mile from home and rearly exceed 25 MPH on the trip but rules are rules.

The booster seat I use is the "Recaro Vivo Lite", it fits well in the back and has worked great. It has a backrest. There are some boosters that don't have backrests and if you kid is big enough that'd be even easier to use.

If you do a forum search I think you'll be able to find some other suggestions as well...

I have an '06 S Cab and the Dakota Combi is a backless booster that fits pretty well in the back seat. Since the shoulder belt attachment point is so low anyway, the booster seats with a back and a shoulder harness "guide" don't really improve the fit of the shoulder belt. Also, without a back the child sits further back from the back of the front seat and has a lot more room. I also just purchased a Porsche Plus Junior Child seat (Part #955-044-801-03). It is a great seat which fits in both the front and the back. The front seat air bag is deactivated at less than 70lbs so you can safely put your child in front (Porsche also offers an airbag deactivation kit which is about $3-400 installed if you don't trust the sensor). The seat is made by Britax and is similar to their "non Porsche" seats. It seems like Porsche had them eliminate the cup holders to make the base small enough to fit.

PM me if you have any questions.

When my wife noticed that our booster didn't fit she bought me the Porsche child seat. Pricey, over $200, but fits perfectly, looks good and I can keep it in the car and put the seatback down to hear the full bass from the subwoofer when the kids are not in it.
