LATCH Child Seat System

LATCH child seats are the best option for
mounting a child seat in your Porsche. Such
LATCH child seats can be installed only using the
LATCH system in the rear seats.
Use only child restraint systems with the LATCH
system (Lower Anchorage and Tether for
Children) recommended by Porsche.
These systems have been tested and adjusted to
the interior of your Porsche and the appropriate
child age groups. Other systems have not been
tested and could entail an increased risk of injury.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH-
compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
Always observe the separate installation
instructions for your child seat.
Using a LATCH child seat system
Both of the rear seats are equipped with the
LATCH system (lower anchorage and anchor
points for tether straps on the back of the
backrests).
Markings on the right and left for the LATCH child
seat anchorage can be found on the seat cushions
of the rear seats.
The anchor bars A for the LATCH child seat
anchorage can be found directly under the
markings between backrest and seat cushion.
