When a bloke cycles to keep fit he normally buys something expensive to ride and then kids himself that it’s all about the technology. Conversations with other cyclists aren’t about the health benefits of riding but the materials used in the construction of the bike and the price paid for the machine. That’s because men like gadgets and talking about them, so the clever guys at Skoda have decided to give us blokes something to talk about when we push our little babies around the park.
This VRS Mega Man-Pram is the result of an exhaustive survey of over 1,000 British men, the results of which suggested that dads in the UK would gladly spend more time pushing their child around if there was some technology in the stroller. What the Czech car maker has come up with is a four-wheel cart shaped pram that rides on 20-inch wheels and can cope with any terrain.
The geeky car-like features that the dads can discuss when they bump into each other at the playground include oversized brake callipers wing mirrors, brake lights and a headlamp if the baby needs a night time stroll. Inside the pram there refined upholstery and lumbar support.
Skoda’s press release doesn’t mention any prices and we’re not sure that they will ever sell this technological marvel. The size of the stroller would put most mums and dads off, and the technology it has would have to mean a prohibitively high price, especially for first-time parents struggling with the cost of their new arrival.
