Default Fathers Day-Son's first trip in the Porsche-Pics

Took my son around in the Bronco Sport and C4 over the weekend. It was his first ride in both and he's 19 months now. Its the first time my girlfriend has been in the Porsche since she was 7 months pregnant.

We drove up to Park City today for Fathers Day and enjoyed the downtown festivities. We took the Guardsman Pass--back route from Park City, through Big Cottonwood Canyon by Brighton and Solitude. There is about 1.5 miles of gravel the C4 looked like a barn yard find after that stretch of road but it was well worth it although caked in dust. We probably peaked about 9000 ft I think and its a great drive for those who know it.

Ran across a bull moose on a little hike near Brighton Ski Lodge.

Utah is an outdoor play ground and so much to enjoy, and there is no doubt its a blast in Porsche!!

And to add to those questions: Did you use the upper tether point?

I think I have the same seat and am wondering when I can take my 16month old for her first Porsche drive.

Maybe now is the time to tint the rear windows, for the baby of course!!

Its the Britix Roundabout. It was given as a gift and I think this the one I have read about that works in Porsche's.

My girlfriend installed it and she did it like in a minute and it fits just fine. The passenger seat needs to be moved up further so your kid has enough leg room. A little collapsible stroller (I have a Jeep one) fits nicely in other back seat behind the driver to.

Yes, used the upper tether point.

I do like to venture, get out and about, and enjoy life. I could remember for years in my 20's I rarely took a day off of work or even a vacation. When I was about 28, I had a good run in the PC industry for about 7 years (hey day of that era), quit 2 days after seeing the movie Office Space, flew to Utah and snowboarded for a week. Seven months, a few countries, no worries in the world, and many states and travels later, I started doing what I do today. I was living in downtown Los Gatos, CA and couldnt have asked for a better place to be a lazy bum for awhile! I was busting my *** off for years and finally said "What am I doing, start enjoying life" I havent slowed down since. Maybe a little but I still make pleasure in life a high priority.

You only live once and this is no dress rehearsal!!

Cool, brings back memories of my days playing for the Rollerbees. Boiught an old scout with a removable top and cruised the mountains between park city and snow bird. Incredible scenery, I miss it. Enjoy.
