Porsche's Kinderbob sled: far more luxury than your child needs

The kids can never have it too good these days, right? If you absolutely, positively must have the best possible sled for your angelic child, you can do no better than the Porsche "Kinderbob" (or as we like to say, pricey sled). With metal runners, a working horn, and enigmatic Porsche styling, your child will be the talk of the town -- and the focus of the neighborhood bully's hatred -- all winter long. You can't pick these up from the US Porsche stores, but if you motor to the German site, you can plunk down an affordable €65 (or about $95) and probably get it in time for the holidays.

Wow that looks alot like the ship from Andromeda...

[Shadowise @ Dec 3rd 2007 7:15AM]

That's such a great name... Kinderbob, lol.

The opportune question is; (when) will we see Jeremy Clarkson and co. reviewing this on the next 'Top Gear' ?

ha :)

Where were these when I was a kid? Then again I'm sure I'd be happy to have one now...

When I was a kid, we went downhill in half a 55 gallon drum. On the ice.

"Daddy, please don't push so hard..."
"Shhh son, your mother loves going downhill fast"

does it have GPS?

[Mojo_Yugen @ Dec 3rd 2007 8:56AM]

So if I remember most of my sledding experiences they usually involved going down a hill really, really fast until I ran into something that stopped the sled (but not necessarily me).

Me and my girlfriend would like to thank my parents for not getting me this sled.

[Kevin @ Dec 3rd 2007 9:03AM]

Pffft, a GT snowracer would demolish that

[Justin @ Dec 3rd 2007 9:15AM]

We don't get enough snow around here anymore to have decent sledding conditions. It's sad. :(

[Jhongerkong @ Dec 3rd 2007 9:59AM]

This looks like what would happen if little Timmy went on Pimp my Ride.

[jperry2010 @ Dec 3rd 2007 10:37AM]

That might actually be pretty awesome...If I didn't live in Austin....

[Zhalfim Deyn @ Dec 3rd 2007 11:20AM]

now I kind of wish it snowed in the tropics...

[Deuce @ Dec 3rd 2007 12:10PM]

My Timmy needs much more cushioning. Where is the padded seat? Preferably leather.

[kdubbs486 @ Dec 3rd 2007 12:10PM]

Now all they need is some of Clark Griswold's spray-on lubricant for max velocity

[DAvid Relan @ Dec 3rd 2007 1:00PM]

I tried to order one but with the website not being in english could not order one.

[Beamey @ Dec 3rd 2007 1:14PM]

I go sledding every year and going down a steep hill and trying to steer is suicide. Like most of the Porsche owners i know, this is for show.

[BatteryAcid @ Dec 3rd 2007 2:24PM]

It's gonna be a pain in the ass getting that thing back up the hill. They should have incorporated a small motor to drive it back up the hill.

[hothotdisco @ Dec 3rd 2007 8:33PM]

Sweet. Now when i tell chicks that i have a ''Porsche'' it will actually be true......well almost.

[Chris @ Dec 9th 2007 4:19PM]

finally, Porsche returns to air cooling
