Sold my Boxster when the twins when twins arrived. They are now one. I guess there will be a correct size when they will fit in the back of a 911 without needing booster seats / a shoe horn. I need to know now as we will need to move house before I can get another Porsche.

you've got time - they fit in without booster seat from around age 6, and stay comfortable up until age 11 or 12. All depending on genes and size, of course.

My eldest is coming up 7 and she still needs a booster cushion, and will for at least another year. My youngest was just under 3 when I got it and was just into a high back booster. By 4 he was on just a cushion.
Hopefully be ok for 3-4 more years

You have to follow the booster seat legislation though. My owners handbook makes it very clear that the rear seats are not designed specifically for children and that legislation for child seats must be adhered to. The shape of the seat squab means you need quite compact boosters (I've not tried a full forward facing child seat).

My kids are 6 and 7, theyre on boosters, they fit a treat and will do for a few years yet.
