Any recommendations on best fit? I want to buy a new high back booster for my 6 year old to go in the new car. The one I've got fits terribly in my Cayenne because of the high side walls to the leather seats.

I've looked at eh Porsche one and it looks quite good. Quite like the Recaro one too. Let me know your thoughts.

I bought the Porsche Junior Plus seat G2 +G3, mainly as it was narrow enough to fit in the rear seats of my 997, but also that it is certified to be used in the car. I would get the ISO fix Porsche seat if I were to buy again. There are cheaper seats available, but it comes down to personal choice. The Porsche seat can be taken apart and used as a booster seat later on as our child grows, so the extra cost of the seat is offset with longevity. £150 (Minus discount)

I bought the Porsche one but more cause my kids was the right age to change it. It fits well, although I will still be putting something on the seat to protect the leather as it its very soft.

Thumbs Up
I used to have a carpet mat down. (clean and new of course!). Some need one down the back too! I would do that for good measure.

Remember you can opt for the front ISOFix. I wondered about that for resale... Rear facing child seats in the front nowadays..

My kids loved the Recarro Start which can be used up to age 11. We now just have seat belt adjusters on all 3 belts (see post FIRST THOUGHTS OF MACAN OWNERSHIP 12/4), these in my eyes are better for 7/8up as no booster to slip from under child in a heavy accident and belt sits nicely across shoulder in a correct position

In my Audi years ago, if you pulled the rear or front passenger seat belt all the way out and then reeled it back slowly it would go on a ratchet system where the belt would lock so the car seat stayed very secure and not slack off before going tight. (hope I explained that well...). The amount of people that did not know this was amazing, yet it was a fantastic safety feature! Does the Porsche have the same?
