Will the Clubman serve a small much better than a regular MINI?

We got our MINI Cooper just a couple of months ago, and now it turns out we will be parents by the end of the year!

Fantastic news, of course, but now I have to make some tough decisions. Will we keep the MINI, or will we move up?

From what others write, it looks like it is possible but not ideal having a baby and a pram in a Mini. I'm also a bit worried about the lack of deformation-zone in the back, due to the short length of the car.

We would like to continue driving a MINI, though, so now we're thinking about the Clubman. But will the longer car really mean that much difference? 260 ltrs. luggage space is of course bigger than the smaller MINI, but compared to a (boring) Golf or A3, it's still small...

So the question is: Is there any logic in moving up from a MINI to a MINI Clubman for familiy life? Or would the difference not be that great?

Thanks!
