Baby Stroller for Carrera 4?

[dcooper]

Summer's coming and the only way I'm going to get to go places with the wife and 9 month old kid in my C4 Cabriolet (vs my wife's full top monster SUV for day/weekend trips) if is I can find a stroller that will fold into the boot/trunk of the C4. I realy don't want to spend summer vacation driving the monster SUV. Luggage and the kid will fit in the back seats for weekend trips, no prob (i have the Porsche car seat ready to go).

I just need to find a stroller that can fold easily into the tiny C4 trunk.

Help! Thanks in advance...

Update: I think I might have found one that will fold to fit a 997 Carrera 4 or Turbo: the Quinny Zapp. It's 69cm X 30cm X 27cm (27.1 in X 11.8in X 10.6in).

I did a rough measure of my C4's available boot area, and now that I've removed my CD changer in favor of my iPod PCM interface, it measures roughly 25in X 18 X 12, which, on the face of it doesn't look like it'd work, BUT I created a little mockup, and it turns out the diagonal length of the C4/Turbo boot area (minus CD changer) is 27.75in, which IS long enough for this stroller.

So, gentlemen, I believe we have a solution. I'm buying mine here (they ship to US and Canada):

Price: $229.

I'll post back when the thing arrives and post a picture of it in the trunk/boot area.

(or a picture of my Return Authorization slip if my measuring skills turn out to really suck wind..........) :)

does the porsche stroller fit in a c4?

The Porsche website says it will fit in all 911 except the C4's

The Quinny Zapp arrived and it fits perfectly with plenty of room to spare for a duffle bag (or two) and some other stuff, no problem at all.

In fact, even WITH the CD Changer, I think this stroller would be fine, since the front wheel comes off in a snap to make it even smaller.

Very happy Cabriolet summer-time motoring days ahead with the kid in the back :)

I'll edit this post with a picture when I get a chance in the next few days.

Sorry for the delay but yeah your right the zapp fits in without the need to remove the cd changer, even on a 996 C4.
