Had the rear facing seats (Britex) x 2 in my 2007 M6 cab ... and now forward facing booster seats in my 2016 M6 Cab (Greco) ...

We are both under 6 ft tall ... not a real issue ... however the 2016 M6 feels larger


hope this helps

I have a 2015 M6 GC and have two booster seats in the back. With a passenger in the front (avg height) there is still plenty of leg room for the kids (8 and 6). With no one in the front seat, I move the passenger seat up as far as it can go and the 8 year old can't touch the front seat with his feet, even when stretched out.

Plenty, probably not. Your mileage may vary but I'm 6 and a few inches and that leaves driver seat nearly touching the rear seat. M6 has more room than my 991 but not by much.

Our boys are now 9 and 7 ... We sit comfy up front and they still have room for their legs and are comfy ... We are 5 ft 6 inches so there is enough to room IMHO

Same here. Two kids ages almost 8 and 10 sit in the back of M6GC with booster sit for the 8yo. Same height as above. Plenty room for kids in the back.

I think convertible (open top) and GC will work, but not in the coupe. You could try to squeeze it in, but I just won't bother at all because too hard getting in and out.

Two kid seats in the back of my f12. Kids are 5 and 3. They have enough room (front seats moved so they don't touch their feet, plus seat protectors). Not comfortable for a long ride for me and my wife (5' 9" and 5' 5"), but fine for up to an hour. Have the memory on the seats set for family mode to make it easier each time.

What kind of pics you after to help you?

A pic of how much room with a car seat and child with feet hanging down and showing how far the seat has to move forward. But you explained it pretty well.
Although would love to see what your seat protector looks like

I have a Gran Coupe and the back seat doesn't have a hole to slide a mirror for baby through. How are you guys attaching a mirror for infant rear facing?

what brand are you using? I'm using a version that has high degree of adjustability for headrest size/girth/depth and it should work on the GC's headrest. Admittedly, I'm not using it in the GC right now, but it should work.

I threw the box away, so I'm not sure if this is the exact brand I have, but any version that has the plate should work:

Mine isn’t like that. It just has a verticals adjustable strap that loops through the hole of a headrest which we don’t have.

you may need to rig something up that loops over/around the headrest and attach to the tether up (for forward face setup). my boys are forward facing and their seats fit pretty nicely in the back of my GC!

I have a 5 and 3 year old forward facing in the immi go seats and I love them. It’s the seat that Uber gives to its drivers. Very compact and leaves lots of leg room for me (I’m 6’4’’). I like the look because you can barely tell there’s a car seat in the back of the beast. Only down side is that I wouldn’t feel comfortable going over 55 mph with kids in these. They are designed to be compact and do not have a hard back (just seat and head support). No big deal for me because I only take them to and from school with no highway driving. Check them out.

I think you can buy the car seat that a 911 uses (Porsche OEM) and it will fit like a glove. I did it.
