I've poured over past threads both on RL and 6Speed religiously. Still struggling to identify a travel system (infant seat and stroller) that best meets the following:

1. Rear-facing, rear seat infant car seat (sans backseat rub) which permits a 5'4" shotgun passenger to ride comfortably for several hours
2. Compatible stroller that fits into the frunk (roof rack isn't viable on a targa)

I know this isn't an easy request. But the need is real. Open to any and all suggestions from you experienced parents out there. TIA

I can partially help. The GB Pocket stroller is brand new and apparently folds small enough to fit in a back pack.

Now you just need a infant seat that fits in a Porsche....correctly.

Have you considered trading in on a Macan?

I have a Quinny stroller that folds up and fits in the frunk with enough space left for a large diaper bag. It is not an infant stroller (doesn't have a snap-in thing for the infant car seat).

In NC - if the child seat won't work in the back of a coupe/truck then front seat is legal. I haven't checked to see if you can turn off the airbags in a 911.

Wife in the back seat or maybe it's just not the right car at the moment.

Thanks RX!

I prefer my Porsches with two doors. Not trying to hack the 993TT but it'd be nice to get the whole family into the GTS Targa.

Thanks Stealth! I really like the Quinny strollers. Are you rocking the Zapp or Zapp 2? Didn't think the former fit into an AWD 991.1 frunk

No problem..

Check this out.. A "space saving" travel system. Looks like they have a stroller too, not sure if it fits in the frunk.

Here is a review link stating that this seat was the only one they tested to fit properly in a 911 cab.

Honestly comments like this aren't helpful. I'm in a similar situation and when people say, oh how about another vehicle or a second vehicle, I just roll my eyes.

Of course that will work, but that's not the question at hand.

This may not be an exact answer to your issue, because i'm not sure which is younger, infant or child, but this is what we just bought for our soon to be born baby that's rear facing and meets Canada's stricter child seat regulations. It's by Nuna and it's brand new. A passenger can no longer fit in the front seat. The seat back can go back into its normal position, but the front seat must be pulled so far forward that their face would be against the windscreen. So my wife sits behind me beside the child in the back seat and we leave the front seat empty. She fits fine behind me. She's 5'8'' and I'm 5'11''











In the final picture, it appears as though the seat is touching the baby seat. It is not. But the front seat is so far forward an adult cannot get in or out of it.

Still trying to find the stroller that fits in the front.

We have one car. One parking spot. Have no 'need' for a car (live downtown in waking distance of everything) and will only do this a few times per month to take baby to appointments or friends and relatives.

Please, if you're reading thread, the only helpful comments are how to make this situation work in light of the question. Saying stuff like, "Buy a bigger vehicle" is obnoxious and of no help to the actual question at all.

Sorry, but there's a reason people call Porsches "impractical." They are really not suited well for this use case.

hawc

Yeah, but that's not the question here.

TorqueChap

I heavily read this article, but missed that key sentence. Only question is whether the front seat was usable.

Hawc, thanks for your detailed pics! I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. Junior in the back seat and Mom riding shotgun.

Hoping you find a solution!

I have a cybex Aton without the base and it fits rear facing with enough space for a 5'4" passenger. It might not be the most comfortable but it is the only solution.

As for the stroller, I use the Quinny Zapp Xtra which is really small when folded and fits nicely in the frunk.

TorqueChap

Alsarkal, this is the combo I'm heavily leaning towards at present! I'm hearing the Alton 2 is a wee bit better but am not sure. Any idea?

Tempted to get the BabyZen with Cybex adapters which is due out mid-Feb. (The Yoyo stroller is so small it is approved stowable on airplanes.)

Here's a link to blow some minds:
