Every Porsche is built not just with the driver in mind but also the passengers too… even down to the smallest ones. A range of Porsche child seats are available for various Porsche models in sizes that fit children from newborn up to the age of 12. They all offer comfort and protection while meeting strict safety standards.

What’s more, the covers are available in a selection of patterns for the child seats, including the Heritage Design range which are finished in two patterns that are steeped in Porsche history – Pepita and Turbo 50 tartan edition.

What are Porsche child seats?

Porsche offers three types of child seats – Baby, Kid and Junior – for different age groups, from newborn up to 12 years old. They include special features like side impact protection that help absorb forces and control movement in the unfortunate event of an impact, as well as adjustable headrests for age-appropriate seat positioning and a five-point belt system with safety lock on the baby and kid seats.

All Porsche child seats meet strict safety guidelines and have been fully tested and approved for use in Porsche cars. The child seats can be easily secured in the car using the ISOFIX system and additional seatbelts. In addition, a Flexbase is available separately for the Porsche Baby Seat i-Size, which ensures your child is transported in the most ergonomic way possible and makes buckling up easier due to its rotating platform.

For all child seats there’s a range of exciting Heritage Design covers available that help bring the spirit of classic Porsche models to the interior of your car.

What is the Heritage Design - Pepita child seat cover?

With the Porsche Heritage Design strategy, exclusive 911 models have been created by Porsche that feature iconic design and style elements from legendary cars of the 1950s to 1980s.

In 2022, the limited 911 Sport Classic model was released, a sportscar that evoked the unique spirit of the 1960s and early 1970s. A standout feature was the use of the legendary Pepita fabric in its door panels and seat centres, a fabric that appeared in the configuration catalogue for the original 911 in 1965. And you can now order the Heritage Design - Pepita covers for any of the three Porsche child seats.

What is the Porsche Pepita fabric?

Pepita is a check interior fabric from Porsche that since its first appearance in the 1960s has become a design classic – and one that continues to inspire owners and Porsche fans to this day.

You will see the Pepita fabric in the seats of the oldest 911 on display at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart – chassis number 57, a barn find that was restored by Porsche Classic between 2014 and 2017. Pepita has been long associated with the 911, but it was in fact first made available as a special request item in the late model versions of the 356, the original Porsche sportscar, in the early 1960s.

Pepita also made a stunning appearance in 2024 in the limited-edition collection of chairs by Vitra for Porsche. Choosing the Heritage Design - Pepita cover for Porsche child seats tells everyone that you know your Porsche history.

What is the Heritage Design - Turbo 50 tartan child seat cover?

Another highlight of the Porsche Heritage Design series of cars is the 911 Turbo 50 Years, an anniversary model revealed in the summer of 2024 to mark half a century of the Turbo. The 911 Turbo 50 Years features a reinterpretation of the Mackenzie tartan pattern from the original 911 Turbo from 1974.

And that tartan pattern is now available for Porsche child seats in the form of the Heritage Design - Turbo 50 tartan child seat cover. Available across the three different child seat models – Baby, Kid and Junior – the centre section is made of the Turbo 50 tartan, just like the seat of the 911 Turbo 50 Years itself.

The side bolsters are presented in classic black to blend in harmoniously with as many interior concepts as possible, while PORSCHE lettering is featured on the headrests of all three versions. Additionally, the cover for the junior seat version is finished with decorative stitching in Turbonite around its centre panel.

What is the Porsche Turbo 50 tartan fabric?

Tartan and Porsche have considerable history. The reinvented design featured in the Heritage Design - Turbo 50 tartan child seat covers is inspired by the historic Dress Mackenzie tartan. This was one of three tartan patterns available in the Porsche 911 Turbo when it was launched in 1974 (the other two being Black Watch and McLaughlin, also known as MacLachlan).

The Mackenzie tartan came in shades of beige, red, blue, white and olive green and quickly became, along with the other tartan patterns, legendary Porsche interior fabrics. And it’s this vibrant pattern that is now available as a child seat cover for Porsche child seats – a chic and timeless addition to your Porsche, whatever its interior.

Covers for Porsche child seats

As well as their stylish looks, inspired by Porsche history, the Heritage Edition child seat covers perfectly fit one of the three corresponding child seats from Porsche – Baby, Kid and Junior. They are also made to be easily removed and refitted, with a sewn-in elasticated edging, so they can be cleaned when required.
