Size of travel systems
We went pushchair/pram/travel system shopping on Sunday and was recommeded the silvercross 3d travel system as a good affordable all rounder. Thought it sounded a good idea.
Yesterday my wife took her P reg VW Polo to mothercare to see if travel seat fitted okay - it didn't - the seat belt was a little too short, and the seat "wobbled"- next she found it was almost impossible to get it into her boot - due to its sheer bulk
She tried a different system - the seat fitted better but again real problems trying to get the bloody thing into her book
So we have had to scrap that idea.
We are now thinking about going for a sling/harness for the first 4-6 months, get a good car seat with a base and the get a buggy a little later like the mclaren xt
And maybe use a popup carry cot?
Have other users had this problem - surely a Polo is not such a rare car that these things don't fit.
Does anybody else have any better ideas?

Chatting to the guys in the office here - they've recommended a "quinny" system - not too familar with this name. Is this/would this be any better
Quinny Buzz comes with separate carrycot so suitable from birth and maxi cosi car seat fits quinny chassis. Maxi cosi quite versatile so should fit your polo.
Quinny quite a good make. Loads of people on this site give really good feedback about Quinny.
Hope you find suitable system.
my wife just popped down to mothercare and after much trying off different system tried their own brand - an "Atlan" system - on special offer at the moment - and a lot better priced than the "names" - but how does it stack up against the others.
Has anybody had any experience with this brand
Sorry to keep on bombarding the thread with questions
Thanks to you all
