My daughter has ridden in the front since about 2. In a Britax boulevard. You need the seatbelt lock offs since our 911's dont have switchable locking retractors, and the britax is one of the few seats that has them.

In addition you need a top tether that will go around the headrest since it cannot pass through the front seat. The boulevad has a strap from each side of the seat that terminate together where the top tether anchors to the car. So one strap can go each side of the head rest.

Klek make some nice seats but their top tethers are a single strap and I dont like the way it has to go up and over the headrest of the front seat. I prefer around the sides. Its a straight pull and it restrains the seat side to side quite well.

I had to install a top tether anchor point in the parcel shelf, which was a reasonable feat. Especially since you are inclined to be over kill with your precious load. In my case I'm confident that my anchor is WAYYY stronger than the seatbelt / seat / car etc and it wont my my anchor point that lets go. (I run a structural steel shop) But thats a topic for another thread.

In the back... if I remember right I had a Chico mounted rear facing when she was very young. For that I swapped out the factory 3 point belt for a lap belt from seatbelt planet and installed using the lap belt. Again, thats because the 88 three point doesn't have a locking retractor and the chico didn't have seat belt lock offs. I need one or the other. Top tether was not required for rear facing.

As others have said, I do have some concerns about hauling her around in the 911, on the road with pickups where their bumpers are at the same height as my windows. But she loves it. Going for an ice cream and watching the seagulls by the river are making memories for her already at 4. You just have to pick your moments and mitigate the risk as much as possible. We go on sunday mornings and later on week day evenings, not Friday rush hour. At the end of the day it would be safer to stay home, but you have to live a little.
