944 CHILD SEAT - REQUIREMENTS ?

Post by coolpaul »

Hi, I've had my new girlfriend for a few weeks now, the wife loves her too ! as does my 4 year old who has got it into his head that she will be his when he gets older !

I have a 2 questions to throw out to all !

Q1. Does anyone know the legal child seat requirement for a 944 ?
When my 4 year old sits in the back as it is - the seat and seat belt set up seems fine (not too high or around the neck)
A booster seat does not fit particularly well - because of the bucket shape of the seat.
I can't see him sitting in the back for long when he gets to 6 or 7 though !

He is quite small for his age - but it seems (and looks) safer if he just sits in as is !

Q2. I actually sat in the back for a couple of minutes I'm 5'11 (leg either side of drivers seat - like some sort of contortionist).
Has anyone else managed to sit in the back of one ?
Is there a prize for the tallest or longest ?

Any thoughts or help ?
