(July 25, 2013) ŠKODA has unveiled the ultimate baby buggy, dubbed the "vRS Mega Man-Pram" — a high performance vehicle that has been designed to provide the ultimate baby transportation experience. To celebrate the launch of the Octavia vRS — the fastest ŠKODA ever — the company gave a team of engineers the task of bringing the same qualities that go into the car to other everyday objects. 

These included the vRS Man-Pram and were highlighted in a new ad launching the third-generation Octavia vRS.



The pram’s vRS style makeover fits perfectly with a ŠKODA-commissioned survey of 1,000 dads which found that two thirds (76%) admitted they would spend more time pushing baby if they had access to a higher spec and more stylish buggy.

The result is a remarkable baby carriage: the buggy comes complete with wing mirrors, hydraulic suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, oversized brake calipers, anti-stress grips and a headlamp beam for night walks. Tots lucky enough to be carried on board can look forward to “sports-style upholstery” and “adjustable lumbar support”.

Heidi Cartledge, head of Marketing at ŠKODA UK comments: "The ‘vRS Mega Man-Pram’ proves what you can do when you take the vRS vision off road and drive it straight into the nursery.  We used it in the new Octavia vRS TV ad because we wanted to bring to life the idea of enhancing the performance of everyday objects. The high tech-buggy gives a tongue in cheek sense of what you could experience if you vRS’d your life."

The ŠKODA survey of British dads uncovered the most desirable additions to a high tech stroller which were reflected in the vRS Mega Man-Pram design.

ŠKODA is an automobile company in the Czech Republic and a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen.
