child seat for 993 Â

[Guest]

this is cross posted in Modern, sorry

just took the plunge and traded in the Bimmer 328 for a 993 C4 convertible, really need advice for a seat to put my 2 and a half year old in, Porsche prince looks good but I cannot suss out if it will work with lap belt only in the back or if there is a britax equivelent.

any help from experience would be appreciated, I hear all kinds of theory but would love to know about a real application

Hi,

First off, congratulations on the purchase - you wont be sorry.
As for the seat, there is a Britax equivalent, its called the Britax Comfy Starriser but its not available in this country (in fact I havent seen it available anywhere in Europe). You can get it from the US - its about $109 (I bought one in May) and it fits (in the back of my C2S Coupe anyway - I think that Cab seats maybe different in the back).

You'll find that if you take your car to a reputable baby seat retailer, they'll let you try them there and then to see if any other makes will fit - or check out your local road safety center

Britax Freeway or Porsche Zoom.

Thanks, guys

the 1995 993 cabrio only has lap belts in the back, just spoke to Porsche Silverstone (4/5 miles from Silverstone ) They are a little vague (unsure) but invited me up there to have a look and test fit the 3 options they offer.

I'll let you know the outcome (and the price)

If you are in the Silverstone/MK area then go to the Car Safety Centre in Stacey Bushes - they will fit a Britax Freeway seat for you incorporating a lap belt.
