For the love of... baby buggy designed for men!

[kwillia]

Dubbed the “Mega Man-Pram,” the buggy comes complete with hydraulic suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, anti-stress grips and a headlamp beam for night walks.

The attention-getting design features a baby buggy that can stand about 6 feet high. ŠKODA, which unveiled the concept last week to celebrate the launch of a new car model, said the “king size” baby carriage was inspired by the results of a poll that found a third of dads admitted they sometimes feel embarrassed pushing conventional buggies, while a quarter said they always insist their partner push the carriage when out for walks together.

The survey of 1,000 British fathers, commissioned by ŠKODA, also found 76 percent of dads would be more inclined to spend more time pushing the baby carriage if they had access to a stylish, high-spec buggy. The top additions they wanted to see added included a muscular design and large alloy wheels “to give enhanced height.”

My husband finds that the handles tend to be too short for him to comfortably reach. He has to hunch a bit. Glad I'm not tall.

I thought this was going to be about a baby carriage designed FOR men who wanted to be pushed around in one!

I bet Prince William has one.

Me too. Visions of Bronies dancing in my head...

I think it is a ugly piece of crap and I would be embarrassed to push it.

Agreed.

I've had the most fun running around, pushing 'feminine' strollers doing wheely's. I always got weird looks like I was crazy or something. I never understood that - the kids were laughing and having a good time. There was always that possibility in the back of my mind that the stroller would break and crumple sending my kids flying into the air, but no. Never happened. All strollers are built to take punishment. I only ever see 'used' ones at yard sales. I see very few wind up at the transfer stations.

My 2 cents...

Also, if I really wanted a "manly" stroller, I wouldn't buy one. I seems store bought anything is frought with 'bling', and oversized this and that, BS.

No, I would BUILD one and it would be built like a tank.....and look like one too.

The other week I was driving down Chancellor's and there was a daddy pulling his two kids in a wagon. The type you'd hook up behind your riding lawn mower or something. The kids were also nekkid.
