Pram to fit in a Mini?
Hi Girls
I'm new here, hope you don't mind me bustling straight in with a question!
I've got a Mini, which i love and i'll be GUTTED if i have to sell it. Hubby and i are TTC and i keep looking at the boot of the car thinking there's no way i'll fit a pram in there! The dimensions of the boot are way short of the folded dimensions of prams that i've seen on websites.
So i really just wanted to ask if there are any other Mini drivers here and if so, have you managed to find a pram/pushchair that fits in it?
Thanks!

I would have a look in Mothercare as they are getting smaller all the time!
Thanks for all the replies so far.

this is my first post, but felt i had to comment.
I too have a small car (actually don't think you can get any smaller?) i have a smart fourtwo the one that looks like a roller skate! lol.
I love my little car and can't afford to change it, and i've never had probs with the size before, (went camping for two weeks once in it, with a six man tent 2 chairs table and air bed plus all other camping essentials!!)
so when i found out i was pregnant i wasn't worried about fitting little one in, my bf has a peaugot (sp?) so ok for family trips.
But was i was concerned about the prams as most travel systems look really bulky.
Woman at work told me about the LOOLA made by bebe confort and it's great, went to mothercare and had a demo then found a link for kiddicare.com and they have a great video. Then i bought the whole system on Ebay for under ??100 it was 7 mnths olds and in ace condition)
This is brill for small cars as it comes apart (ie car seat clips off chasis and pushchair seat does same) and folds down to nothing and you don't have to take wheels off like some models!
I'm really pleased with my purchase, just wanted to share as i'm so pleased i don't have to get rid of smarty....

ive never seen a boot in a new Mini so i cant possibly say, but my advice for any small car is never buy a travel system as they are so bulky when they fold up.
Thanks so much for your replies ladies. x
I wouldn't describe myself as a light packer and we have a Bugaboo which unless you take the wheels off doesn't fold down particuarly small, however even with a car that has a big boot I really struggle with packing in everything needed for a weekend away.
Also the pebble with Easy Base 2 fits in the back without ISOFIX.
The 'Mini car seat' was a very bad fit and had to go back.
We are now really happy we don't have to part with our 53reg Mini.
Time for some weekends looking at cots now the logistics are covered :?
