Child stroller in front boot (trunk) of 996

First time poster looking for info on 996's before pulling the trigger. One of my must for a newer Porsche for me is to be able to take my wife and my child on short vacations in it, unlike my 86 CAB. I tried a search and came up empty. So my question to you 996 owners is there a stroller any of you know of, besides the Porsche model that will fit in the front boot (trunk) when folded up of a 996?

TIA

Even if you get a stroller to fit into the trunk, where are you going to put the luggage, cooler and other stuff?

How do you do it in a 86 cab?

If you had a boxster, easy maclaren quest/techno/daytripper in the rear trunk, with a 996/997, no luck on front trunk, but the maclaren fits on one side of the rear seats, the other is for the kid obviously. The silly bulky plastic american strollers will never fit. European car needs european baby stoller.

There is no stroller that will fit in the trunk of a 996. I went through this a few years back and came up empty-handed. For a brief while Porsche was offering their stroller in the US for $750, which would fit, but they quickly dropped it, at least in the US.

I beg to differ, I have the Maclaren and use it and my Britax car seat all the time. As I said you need to put the stroller in the back seat. Maclaren are very small since they are mostly aluminum, but they ain't cheap.
