Much to my shock, a single seat Aria from Peg Perego/Mamas and Papas will fit in the boot of a Convertible with a CD changer in the boot too, with the shelf in the low position (for the roof to be opened).

The Maxi Cosi Priori XP also fits well in the back, but the rear is MUCH smaller meaning the person sat in front has to shuffle up a lot to fit the little person in with any leg room!

Rakey · Sep 26th, 2004, 03:50 PM

knew there was something I had to do, must try our products in the Cabrio

You got any pics please Paul?

Paul · Sep 27th, 2004, 09:08 AM

I can try and grab a photo this week. To be honest thought, the rear seat space is so compromised I'd personally not want a kid of Alfie's age/size or bigger in the bag on a regular basis anyway!

The buggy goes in sideways, which shocked me!

Rakey · Sep 27th, 2004, 10:09 AM

look forward to the pics Paul, and will try and take some myself with products I have in the office too

Mickey690 · Sep 27th, 2004, 01:21 PM

Very interested in this guys. Thanks for the tip paul pics would be good.

Got a little one due in March so not quite looking just yet but will have to at some point.

How big is the little fellow these days?

Been an awful long time since we've seen any pictures

Paul · Sep 28th, 2004, 09:13 AM

Alfie.....

These were taken in the past week. The nose is the result of a running with a stick incident, and the wetness on the top is all part of the joy of teething, which never ends!

Spy Car · Sep 28th, 2004, 11:29 PM

He is absolutely adorable Paul

Boy, Alfie is really growing up fast. Thanks for the pics

Paul · Sep 29th, 2004, 08:16 AM

He's growing up fast, that's for sure!

They do that, so keep an eye on your little one or he'll be walking before you know it!

I had one of those only a few months ago, stabbed myself in the arm with a stick when I fell over a kerb while drunk

Pepper'D · Sep 29th, 2004, 09:30 AM

cool thanks Rakey

Paul · Sep 30th, 2004, 10:32 AM

Pictures taken, just need to get them on the PC and uploaded. Interestingly, you can't fit the buggy in the back of the hatchback in the same way, the boot seems larger (front to back) in the Convertible, only slightly, but just enough!

Worse thing was his uncle was looking after him, taking him for a walk. The "oh so guilty" phone call explaining the injuries was quite funny really, boys will be boys, even at that age.

Paul · Sep 30th, 2004, 01:25 PM

Buggy shots. The buggy is the "old style" Aria, but as far as I know the dimensions are not changed for the new "more modern" design.

Anyway, the first 3 are in the Convertible (it only goes in one way) and the others are from my S....

Paul · Sep 30th, 2004, 01:25 PM

Last one..

What Buttonit's uncle or Alfie's ?

Rakey · Nov 17th, 2004, 08:11 AM

well I tried the Silver Cross Compact out on the weekend, it doesn't fit in the boot of the convertible with the CD changer in there, and I doubt it would without the changer.

Just incase anyone needed to know

Mickey690 · Nov 17th, 2004, 08:26 AM

Oh well there goes that idea. Have to go back to waiting for the Zapp or anything else that comes out between now and March.
