As the snow starts falling this weekend, thoughts turn to all of the great things the big white dump brings — building snowmen, hot chocolate with a fluffy marshmallow cover, snow days and sledding. Growing up in the Rockies, kids worked with just about anything they could to maximize the sledding experience; some were lucky enough to have plastic sleds that didn’t have rock-cracked holes in the bottom, others did well enough will garbage bags and pieces of cardboard, and the lucky ones had grandparents crazy enough to tie a saucer to the bumper of a car and drag screaming children over snow-packed roads.
Kids today, of course, have it way better, and Porsche’s doing their part to class-up the sledding experience.
The Porsche Kinderbob, complete with headlights and the Porsche emblem hitched to the nose, is sure to be envy of the hillside this season. Part snow-ski, the real bonus is the steerable skid on the front end that lets riders actually fashion some sort of path instead of praying to avoid rocks and bushes, which is probably a great design thought since the metal runners underneath ensure maximum speed for the rider (but should the steering fail your wunderkind, there’s also a horn to alert small animals to jump out of the way).
Available directly from the Porsche site for 65,00 €, this is just another one of those toys that makes us wish we were kids again.
