just asking for advice, i have a donkey and now need a 7 seater before the end of December, does anyone have advice on what cars fit a donkey in the boot. budget up to 25kish at a push.

we will only need 6 seats but would prefer to keep all seven up if possible!

thank you Grin

Hmm I had a donkey and it's a big bugger even when folded down and when I was using the carrycot it was bit of a nightmare.
I had a BMW X5 but I couldn't have the two extra pop up seats up as well as the buggy in the boot.
Sorry not to be more helpful but most seven seaters don't tend to have a massive boot you usually have to put a couple of seats down to get the space.
Hopefully someone more helpful will be along soon.
Actually thinking about it I once had a land rover discovery as a courtesy car and that had loads of room, no idea how much they are though.

we only need to use one carry cot and one toddler seat.

We have a Mazda 5 and seats go up and down quickly but the boot isn't large once the 2 boot seats are up. When kids were tiny we rented a dodge caravan (in USA) that was huge but never seen them in the U.K.

I think it might fit in a vw sharan.

either by putting down the back seat so using just one in the back, or I think you could take the middle seat out, use the middle space to put the carrycot part of seat, and then the rest might fit in the back.

You would need to go and test that though

We have a zafira, you can fit the buggy with six seats but not seven.

I got rid of my donkey when DTs were 9 months it was just too bloody big and bulky.

We have a Ford Explorer and it's fab!
