I have a 2004 "996" Porsche 911. My baby is about 20lbs and 6 months. The Maxi Cosi Mico fits him but only to 22lbs. I live in California. What are my options? Thank you!

Question Convertible Car Seat for Porsche 911? 22 lbs and 6 months

This is one of the few times I do recommend the Britaxes. They sit up high on a base and fit well in small places. We had an old style Britax (an Advantage, then a Wizard) rear facing in a 2000 996 911.
A Radian with angle adjuster, if you're comfortable with that for a six month old, may work. The Recaro ProRide will likely fit, but getting a child in and out would be VERY difficult. You could also look at the Evenflo Triumph 65.

I would recommend the Evenflo Symphony 65 e3 (must be e3 model) as it has a rear facing weight limit up to 40 lbs. The Evenflo Symphony 65 e3 is rounded at the top, so it is likely that it would fit in the rear center seating position. You can try and wedge it between the driver and passenger seat.
The Cosco Scenera has a rear facing weight limit up to 35 lbs, but is is very budget friendly. This seat can get rear face most kids to age 2 and lasts kids forward facing 6 months to a year. It also fits compact cars well.
Does your 6 month old have some head control? If he does, then you can install the car seat more upright. It is fine to install more upright as long as your baby's head does not flop down to his chest.
Did you know that Toysrus will let you try out the display model in your car? I would try that before buying any car seat.
Do you know about the safety benefits of rear facing to age 2? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids ride rear facing until they are at least 2 years old: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvyIv9QVRBE"]Rear facing is safer - YouTube[/ame]

The 911 doesn't have a center seat in the back. 
It barely has a backseat in the back.

I don't think a 2004 996 would have rear centre seating position. I'm fairly certain the 1982 930 and 1982 911 my dad have doesn't and i know the 2004 996 gt3 doesn't, because it has no rest seats. Anyway. I don't think there is a centre seat, I can't see how thee would be room.
