any young parents with new borns with a MK5 golf, want to know if a Bugaboo fits

<< < (6/6)

andrewparker:
Yeah, definitely. We normally put the carry cot on top so there is enough room. Taking the wheels off gives even more room on top.

On a day-to-day basis it is fine, it will easily swallow a large shop at Sainsburys with the buggy frame in the boot. It can just be more difficult when going away for a weekend. But then I guess that depends largely on how many pairs of shoes your missus wants to take with her!

celica:
quality.

are carry cots collapsable?

with just the frame like in the pic, at least can fit supermarket shop/ shopping around it (and carry cot in theory could be on passenger seats etc. i guess)

on your weekend trips, surely the baby needs more things than the other half ;-) or is it just shoes shoes shoes

andrewparker:
My wife likes her shoes! A young baby hardly needs anything to be honest.

The iCandy carry cot is collapsible, though it is a bit of a faff, so you wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis.

Regarding the carry cot fitting on the passenger seats, with our Maxicosi seat the carry cot can't sit along side it, it's too wide.

celica:
i didn't think it would be that long not to fit in the back seats, but then again i can imagine it to be

If you get a Golf and you have little ones, get a 5-door - It will make all the difference.

100% agree.

I have 2 young daughters (aged 1.5 and 3). I used to have a small Fiesta Zetec S (3 Dr) which we learned to get along with. It was a bit of a hassle getting the kids in and out the back seats etc, but I got used to it - and I liked the fact that they had no door handles or window switches etc to mess about with. So much so, that I almost went for a 3 door Golf! It wa sthe wife that persuaded me to get the 5 door. And Im glad.

The time to change cars came when we purchased a double pushchair - where one child seat is behind the other. It wouldnt fit in the boot unless I put it in on its side, diagonally, after removing some bits of the pushchair, and removing the boot shelf!! It was a complete B****!

This large 2 seater fits in the GTI perfectly now. Still have room for shopping as well!

Im also glad I went for the 5 door as well.
Personally, I like the sporty looks of most 3 door cars. However, I think the Golf is one of the very few cars that actually looks awesome as a 5 door as well as a 3.

Is it bad that I sometimes make the kids take their shoes off in the car, so that the back of the front seats dont get dirty when they throw a tantrum?  :grin:
