regulars know the story, newbies can search out the history here...

at any rate, 1995 993 may be in my garage by week's end - however, purchase is partly contingent upon my two kids be able to enjoy it occassionally. unfortunately, my graco booster seats used in boxster are too wide for the 993 rear seats. haven't found much useful info on line re: seats to fit back there. i know it's possible (probably much more common daily driver type in europe than usa) - any former or current 993 types out there who've put their kids in the back (3yrs and 6 yrs).

as we all know, porsche d/c'd the old car seats and according to hoehn parts dept - 5 dealers in the u.s. have booster seats for the 993 (but the 993 tech pix shows the kids in the front seat, not the back). this 993 would make a great replacement for my 987 (yeah, it will still be a painful transition, though) but not too practical if the kids can never ride in it (yeah, i'm a fun for the whole fam kind of guy)
