The Porsche 911 and your New Baby are Compatible!

It happens every day. One minute we are free to zip around in our Porsche and the next minute we are trying to figure out how to keep the Porsche and still transport the baby.

It didn’t used to be that way. Back in the old days people rode around in cars without seat belts, baby carriers and booster seats. Now we have to be tied into place. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Unless you own a Porsche that you don’t want to sell and you have a baby to transport.

You have a few options. The first is to sell the Porsche and buy some sensible family car with a back seat and no sex appeal. Of course the Porsche probably helped get the baby in the first place so maybe instead of selling it you should consider a second car.

The reality is that you probably already have a second car. The one the other parent drives. So that base is covered. You have a car that you can ride around in safely. It’s not as fast or as sexy but it gets the job done.

But what do you do on the day that the other parent is gone with the car and you have to drive the baby someplace? The glib response is to say call a taxi. But wait, Porsche has solved this problem for you!

The wonderful designers at Porsche anticipated this problem, as they have so many others when they created our magnificent cars. Porsche has actually designed a car seat that is designed to fit into their cars!

The Porsche car seat is designed to fit securely into the passenger seat and will actually disable the passenger airbag when it locks into place. It’s the perfect solution to the problem of a car seat in a Porsche.

Now you can relax. You don’t have to give up your Porsche 911 just because you have a baby. Get a Porsche car seat and your baby can ride along while you teach him (or her) how to handle those envious looks from less impressive cars with grace!

It’s hard to be humble when you drive a Porsche. But for the sake of your baby please try!

First reader to contact me with an image of their baby, with a....em.....baby in it wins something. Well, nothing actually, the wife has all our budget spent on a whole load of baby gadgets we will never ever use!

Anyway...too much baby talk - some pics of a Carrera GT to get us back on track!

No more baby chat I promise! ;o)
