Pushchairs that fit in a Mini Cooper
Hello! I am new so please be nice! I'm sorry if a similar thread has alredy been posted!
I have a beautiful Mini Cooper that I bought in June and in September found out I was pregnant! I am determined not to get rid of my car so would appreciate any advice on what pushchairs and car seats will fit without me having to put down back seats or ban passengers!
I am seriously interested in the Bugaboo Chameleon but have read different reports about whether it fits or not! I would appreciate any Mini drivers recommending a pushchair and car seat and would love to hear from anyone who has a Mini and a Chameleon!

welcome! And congrats on your pregnancy!
my dh has a mini one - to be honest we havn't taken out our lo in it many times but the silver cross car seat that goes with the silver cross 3d fits in it but the pram/push chair doesn't - we use our baby carrier when we use the mini.
if you go to a motherare store they should be able to check to see if it will fit in your car or not.

The pushchair folds down in two parts, the chassis does fit in the boot but only by removing the back wheels (which is actually really easy to do) and there is no room in the boot for anything else. I couldn't get the seat unit (from 6 months) in the boot although it did fit betweent the front and back seats. The only way I could get the carrycot in the car at all was to drop both back seats and put lo in the front!!
I managed for about 5 months with mine, I used to just take the chassis out and use it with the car seat, or borrow oh's bigger car if I needed the carrycot. After 5 months it was getting really hard to lift Millie through into the back of the car in her seat, and it was impossible to put her in the seat without removing it so I made the descision to sell mine.
If you do decide to keep it the Maxi-cosi cabriofix seat fits really well, the isofix base makes it much easier to fit the seat in and out of the car. I was going to suggest the Bugaboo Bee as I know it fits but I haven't seen any reviews. Have you looked at the Petite star Zia? I think it folds nearly as small as the Quinny Zapp but it has a full recline on it and is supposed to be really good. Hope you manage to find something, I cried when my Mini went and I still miss it now, 2 years later!!!
