    Guess this thread can go in either General Discussion or Off Topic Banter.

    Some of you know me and Sarah are expecting a baby in October. Neither of us wants to get rid of the MINI and running a second car is just pointless as we only need to run one car (Meaning we would only use the second car when we couldn't get everything into the MINI).

    We spent 2 hours last night looking at travel systems and the only frame that would fit in the boot was the Bugaboo Bee.

    Anybody just had a MINI and managed? What's the secret? Tricks to doing it? Help!!!

    Jason Nicol could also give you some pointers. They had a MINI while Kerr was very young, not sure if it was from baby age.

    His username is N12JLK. Why not send him a PM.

    Cheers Euan, Only problem is the thread is a bit old and some of those models are no longer available.

    I think the Quinnys should fit as they looked to fold up pretty small, and maybe worth looking at the new Brio's as they seem to fold up small as well.

    I've got a similar problem - we bought a Bugaboo Chameleon and it doesn't really fit in the missus Polo (well, it does but you need to take one wheel off). We checked it out first and the missus was adamant that it was the buggy she wanted and could live with the wheel coming off. I'm expecting to replace the Polo within 6 months...

    It's bad enough in my 3 series actually!

    It can be done if you want to keep the mini. Just get a good pram.
