Default OT: Porsche stroller?

Anyone know where to get the original Porsche design stroller? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

My dealer is accepting catalog orders for the 2011 one; which looks great but takes about 10 steps back in functionality.

Zook,

Owning a Porsche is like having kids. You won't understand until you have one.

not sure where to get one of those but I find it hard to believe that there is a better designed stroller than the bugaboo. I have had people look in amazement when folding it up to get on a plane. it turly is a design masterpiece. and yes I am talking about a stroller.

I have the frog with the wheel board, but I think they are all excellent. again I don't think there is a better designed stroller out there.

I agree with Danny. We had a Frog with a wheelie board and travel bag. Expensive as hell, but I sold it on kijiji 6 years later for $400, if you can believe it.

The latest one is the Chamelion which has some nicer features and the design has improved a little. They even have a double stroller called the Donkey.

My wife discovered that our Quinny Zapp fits in the frunk. My spare tire is removed but I bet it would fit with the tire back in too. It's a neat stroller too, but part of a 'system' of other expensive components.

And there is no question that it will fit with the wheels popped off. In fact, with the wheels off it fits on the rear deck of the targa, behind the seat uppers (the seats do not have to be folded).

+1 on the Bugaboo.

Cameleon Rocks!!!

It won't leave your wife with "Stroller Envy"

Women in groups are very stroller sensitive.

The other one I like was the Stokke.

Thanks for the all suggestions... so the little guy arrived a week & 1/2 early and we've been stroller-less... No urgency though as we're getting by with his peg perego car seat (in lambo orange )

I've been eyeing the Bugaboo based on the suggestions here and had a chance to try one in the store the day before the baby popped out - ride quality is amazing but it seems a little bulky.

Any opinions on that? My wife is relatively petite and I want to ensure she has no problem using it/packing it away/etc. when I'm not around.

Also, might be a dumb question but there's no chance it will fit into the trunk of a 911 will it?
