964 Child Seat

[salmon]

Has anyone managed to get a forward facing child seat in the back of a 964? Read loads of threads however none seem very conclusive..

Had an unsuccessful trip to mother care and none of the seats we tried fitted. Halfords were a waste of time and weren't even interested. Local opc are going to get one in to try, however they are a load more pricey others - not that it's an issue if it fits however wondering what other people have fitted?

I would be interested to know if you have any luck. I need one for a 993 so I guess if you find one that fits yours it should fit mine.

How nuch is the OPC charging? Do you know which model it is?

About £300-350, not 100% sure on the model but I think it's an isofix one that works with belts as the base is narrower.

Yes, I have fitted the Concord Ultimax into the back of my 964.

Here's a link to the seat on Amazon

Here's a thread on Rennlist I started about it...

With all child seats, you'll need to pull the front seat forward to give the baby some legroom, but it works OK and I took my 18 month old son from Paris to the UK like this with a Roofbox for the pram and luggage.

For extra proof to the wife that the 964 can be a family car...

There was a feature in Total 911 not long back where they tested a few seats for fitment. I can't remember all of them but one was a maxi cosi and one was a recaro young sport.

Needing to know this too.... any idea which month ?

You haven't chopped it in for a 964 already? :-)

I have got a Porsche prince in the back of my 993. I would imagine that these fit the 964 too.

Ooops nope - but I assumed the same conundrum !

I am getting ear ache from EVERYONE. Our first born due in 8 weeks - I buy a 911 !

You should find a few really decent threads on seats for the 996. I presume you might want to check the Targa roof clears, but maybe not.

I have the Total 911 article in front of me.
Is your child lighter than 18kg?
Is your child lighter than 36kg?
Is your child smaller than 135cm?

Sorry for the questions, but;
Do you have pictures of this in place?
Did you have to remove the seatback or base?
Is the seatbelt long enough?

Yes, no and yes! I will dig the pics out later.

997 Targa FTW !
Anyway Dusty found this for me a while back - may help others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb08gStDiyE

By the way the blind housing is the piece of the Targa Roof that is a lump- I also now remind rear passengers when retracting as I thumped a guy in the forehead !

Sorry, fuzzy brain after an op! I do know it's a 997, honest.

We use Maxi Cosi seats for our grand kids, but generally only start toting them around after the baby phase.

Big thanks andy, ordered an ultimax which arrived today. Not fitted it in properly yet, but it fits in perfectly in the space and as quoted elsewhere does seem to be made for the car! Will get it properly clipped in at the weekend and can provide additional pics if any one wants them.

Cheers

No worries!! It took me ages to decide which one to buy, so glad to be able to help!

I'm still looking for a cheap push chair that'll fit though...!

We picked up a used quinny zap off eBay. Fits in the front no problem so hopefully more or less set now!

Google Quickfit ABS they are seatbelt experts they supplied me with a carseat and adjusted the rear seat belts accordingly,well priced and good standard of work.

Apologies if this is against forum rules. I have a Porsche Prince seat and extended seat belt for a 993 for sale in the Classified section of 911UK.com. Also, a Porsche zoom for older sprogs.

Apologies for bringing this thread back from the dead but I am still trying to sort out a child seat for my 12 month old daughter in my 1991 964 C2.

I believe the Maxi Cosi Priori SPS and Concord Ultimax are my best bets but I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone can help with before I trek out to the shops.

With either seat, what is the overhang like? The seats I have looked at so far overhang the seat cushion considerably and my fear is they'll rock forward under heavy deceleration i.e. a crash.

Do the European 964's have the hidden mounting points for a top tether ? If so, has anyone found a suitable seat to make use of the tether point and prevent rock ?

have you considered a recaro monza nova ?
