what car do you drive?
Anyone else drive a mini? (new type not old). I love my mini but i'm wondering about how prams and car seats will fit? Plus it'd be more of a pain with a 3 dr car. I was looking at corsas because they have decent size boots for the size of the car but if i could manage with the mini i'd prefer that. Is anyone else looking at changing cars ready for a new baby?

Im afraid I have no experience of the minis when it comes to babys, however, I can tell you that we traded our peugeot 206 in for a VW Jetta (think of a Golf with a saloon boot) when I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its your choice at the end of the day, but we figured that we do a fair bit of travelling as the in-laws live 4 hours away so we would not only need plenty of car/boot space for pram and general baby paraphenalia but also our own items such as suitcases etc!!! It totally depends on your situation and whether you have another larger car that you can rely on too.
Good luck with it.

We get a new lease car every year from work and this year they have finally got Mini's on there and I REALLY REALLY want one but OH sais we can't have one! I think we are going to either get a Peugeot 307 or a 5 door BMW depending whats a good price on the lease deal when its up for renewal.

I have a 3 door megane...i love it but we need to get a 5 door car really! We have installed the isofix base so although it's a 3 door car at least we don't have to mess around with seatbelts getting the car seat in and out! It's brand new so i know it'll have to do for now but maybe when lo is a toddler it may be easier with a 5 door!
We have the quinny buzz & everything fits in fine (including the carrycot)

The boot in the punto is fairly small and we're gonna get the Quinny Buzz so I hope it fits I think it will cuz I know its quite compact.

Hubby was upset cos he wanted a BMW but I didn't and I was upset cos I wanted a small car like a Yaris or something. So we did that 'compromise' thing when neither of you end up happy! lol!
I have a Toyota Aygo - I hate it and it was the worst mistake I made buying it! I am keeping it for now, but after its service next week I am considering putting it on Autotrader.

When I was in hospital in September the lady in the bed next to me had a mini. She had 2 kids and had fallen accidentally with twins so was having to sell her car which she wasn't happy about!!

I have a BMW 1 Series and i love it
The boot is big and it has iso-fix so it's really family friendly.
