    Question I've bought a new car this weekend...

    I've been looking for a few weeks and finally decided to change the galaxy for a VW Touran, I am really pleased, I have tried my double pushchair and it doesn't fit! does anyone else have a Touran and if so what pushchair do you use?

    Congratulations on the new car. I think with any larger car you often sacrifice the boot space for the extra seats.
    I have a Kia Sedona and so long as the back seats are forwards I can get a fair bit in the boot, any buggy - single or double has to lay on its side though.

    I have had a galaxy for quite a while so know what space I am losing, but I think the Touran is so nice I couldn't resist it! My pushchair will fit along the centre of the car, and until rascal said I didn't think about putting the pushchair in at an angle! now I am sure if I wasn't being so dim that would have worked!

    I don't pick the car up until Saturday morning, so will try again then
