Can a Pram fit in the boot?

[G8BAD_COOPER]

Can anyone tell me if a Bugaboo Chameleon fits in the boot of the MINI convertible???

If not are there any prams that do?

Many Thanks

No idea on that one, but the Quinny Zapp fits. It's quite tight in there.

cheers paul,

ill take a look at the Quinny, but after looking at the Bugaboo thats our first choice so hope that it fits....
I imagine some people fold down one of the rear seats if the pram doesn't quite fit... not sure how safe this is though.

Cheers

I can confirm that the Quinny fits in quite nicely.

It fits with the wheels off.

The pram may fit at a push. Its trying to get the kid in the back seat that is the real hard thing.

I rarely use mine when it comes to taking my kids out for anything other than a short trip as their feet get crammed on the back of the seats.

We are still expecting our baby, so hopefully he / she being cramped in the back wont be an issue as it will be only a new born...

Thanks for the advice about the bugaboo just fitting, my next question however is.....

How bad / good is access to the rear seats? (ive had a cooper tin top before, i would have thought its better acces as you can lower the rear windows to give more shoulder room when lifting the baby in / out ?

How easy is it to take the wheels off it?

(imagine its pouring it down and my wife is doing it.... )

sits and waits for reply.....
i had a lady ask me at the petrol station (she works there) this morning the same thing....she came and had a nosey at mine-cuz she really wants one-but has kids.... i opened the boot.... and then looked at her face-total shock at how small it was....well what did she expect-its a MINI!!!!
however-i did tell her that peple do get pushchairs and babyseats in them....maybe il take the answers off here back to her-as she said it was her dream car...and shes jealous every time i go there!! hee heee hahahaha!!

G8BAD,
What is your timeline. We've got a passenger due in less than a month now. Got the seat for the tin-top, but I wish I had your option of droping the top to load the passenger into the seat. Not much fun in the rain I 'spect.

[Wez's S.o.M.]

there's a knack to doing it right, but a little practice and you soon get used to it. we managed. be aware if you have a car without passenger airbag switch there is a retrofit kit so you can turn it off to put little one in front. some dealers know about it!! i was trained by britax so got to know a few tricks!!!

best thing i found is to make sure you have isofix. its much easier, especially if you have another car and cant buy another seat, or like me are too tight, one little one so one seat!!!!
