Sleeping kids in the back.
Discussion
When my son,3, is in his porsche zoom with sleep support in the back off the 996 & he falls asleep he some time slouges forward, this results in his head against the front seat ,not ideal.
What I am looking for is a device that goes on to the seat bealt at the back of the child seat so the belt will only go out so far and if he slouges forward he will rest against the belt.
the reel works fine if you give it a quick tug, it is just whe he leans forward slowly.
I have tried halfords ECt. so if any one has any ideas please pass them on, it is now getting despirate.

some shipping rope should do it.
seriously, this happens to our two aswell (age 5 and 2) and the best solution I've come up with is to put pillows in the car for them - they then tend to sleep against the shelf below the rear side window then.
edited to say that in the rear of my 996 booster seats work well as this gives additional clearance to the front seat as opposed to a full car seat.

Thanks for the idea but"Once installed, pulling up on the shoulder harness tightens the lap belt portion - keeping it at the desired tightness until you release it. The shoulder harness however remains unrestrained as normal for maximum arm and upper body movements."
it is the shoulder part that need to be stoped from moving.holding back against the seat.

I use a Recaro start which has a restraint that covers abdomen and legs, my 3 year olds head moves forward but usually just as far as a soft toy (AKA pillow) and she sleeps in reasonable comfort. The front restraint fits up the age of about 4 years or so, not much use after that, but works pretty well.

How about a cglock? That would work I think...
Nope it doesn't. The CG-Lock only secures the lap belt in place, not the diagonal bit...
How about using some padded/cushioned strap across the forehead and attached to the backrest to stop the little one's head bobbing forward?!

I don't have a wife or kids (yet!) but i love threads like this... so that if/when i do i can justify keeping the car 
Its no problem - I have 2 kids and a 993 ...
(Oh and a wife ... who will not be allowed to drive it again ... she's driven it on her own once and remodelled both offside wings on a width restriction post ...
