However, apart from the Aria, SilverCross Compact, Chicco Ponee and a Graco one there still isn't much to choose from even in the 4 wheel department. Even The Maclaren XT folding umbrella stroller was too long!

Having bought a MINI after sproggs had arrived we already had push chairs, double buggy etc and yep it is a bit of a problem as the Graco double buggy and mothercare single buggy that we have are far too big to fit without folding down the seats. We borrowed an old Mclaren umbrella type buggy from some freinds though and it does fit in the boot without folding the seats down providing you remove the parcel shelf. Not ideal but then we don't use the MINI very often for family days out as we have an MPV as well. Having said that we did go to the Mini Cooper day at Beauleiu yesterday and took the buggy in the boot of the MINI plus picnic stuff, nappy changing kit etc. Fortuneately sprogg No 1 is now big enough at 3 years old not to need a pushchair.
