Well I got my powertwin in ours with all the seats up......and i thought the P & T is smaller....and I get my nipper 360 double in and have also had the powertrack 360 in, which is a big buggy probably the size of the P & T if not bigger

Go to a good shop where they've got them and let you try them out in the boot and order it from there instead. (We had mb, then Jane, then MB in boot to see which would fit best, so speaking from experience.

sorkycake · 16/10/2008 14:02

ah, thanks.
she said the boot is the same size as the zafira with all the seats up, which is virtually non-existent looking at my friends, but we've yet to test drive a Galaxy, so can't tell.

I think we'll buy the P&T anyway in December and try it out. We will need 4 seats in the rear so I guess if it comes to it we could split the seats and slot it in if it's a problem.

FGS don't these people know having another child is stressful enough without giving useless info!!

Did she use the super dooper instore computer program to tell you that ?

Sorry ... being a bit flippant, they said something similarly useless to us when we were buying a car seat, and our (popular)cars didnt exist on this form !

I'd ignore their advice and do the research yourself !

Bonnycat · 16/10/2008 15:54

Well done for actually getting someone to speak to you there,i went down to our store several times and had a lengthy play with P +T and powertwin to help me decide ,could never get any ones attention so in the end wemt and bought the P+T from our local nursery store instead.
We have different car so cant help you there,sorry!

Don't know about the P&T's but the Galaxy is a great car, can recommend that.

TheConfusedGhostoooohw · 16/10/2008 18:32

Glaxay boot is bigger than the Zafira with all seats up, by quite a bit.

I had a Zafira and fellow CM has a Galaxy, she could always get much more than me in her car.

gladders · 20/10/2008 15:09

don't have a zafira, but do have a p&t - it folds pretty small and the wheels are easy to take off if necessary. I think it would fit most places??

EsmeWeatherwax · 20/10/2008 15:15

Sorky, as an aside, I've just bought a P&T sport in red from Mothercare, plus double raincover, at a well discounted price of £306. They've got an offer on where they take £70 off if you buy the Sport plus doubles kit in red, and then I used a voucher from and online site, code for which is AF8, and that took 10% off my total before the £70 discount had been taken off. If you're interested in buying it now anyway...

LackaDAISYcal · 20/10/2008 15:21

can't answer your question, but we have a scenic and the P&T fits in there fine

As an aside though, we didn't order the sleeping bag with our P&T so I went into Nevercare (like it) yesterday and was standing eyeing up the sleeping bag to se whether it was worth getting for a 16 month old....and a spare...yes spare member of staff asked if he could help me. I jumped out of my skin as I have been conditioned for years to expect to be ignored completely by all staff and that you don't get service unless you pin them to the floor!

He didn't actually know anything mind you and had to go and check P&T website and then ask a colleague...but still! Has no-one told them they shouldn't go giving 37 weeks pregnant woemn firghts like that

geogteach · 20/10/2008 15:53

I had P and T E3 and that fitted easily in Galaxy. We mostly have one of rear seats folded but i'm sure I had it in there with all the seats. don't have it anymore as all my kids are too old now or I would try it for you!

MissPitstop · 23/10/2008 19:55

I have a P&T and a Galaxy but have never tried it with all the back seats up, will have a go over the next few days and let you know. Were expectinng No 4 in April so need to have seat/buggy arrangements sorted by then. Would offer to do it tomorrow for you but my kids here have already broken up for half term so busy with full on kiddy entertaining tomorrow!

needmorecoffee · 23/10/2008 19:57

how big is a P&T? I got dd's wheelchair in without folding down the handles and wheelhciars are stonking great things.

sweetkitty · 24/10/2008 16:09

Don't have a Galaxy but have a P&T and it fits in the boot of our CMAX no problem. It's not that big once folded a lot smaller than the M&P Twin Aria and the Graco Stadium Duo I used to squeeze in the boot of our Clio.

london11 · 24/10/2008 17:11

I have Renault Espace and I do struggle to fit P&T in boot if all seats are in.

The trouble I have is that forward facing baby seats are strapped in middle row but cant have car chairs pulled all the forward otherwise toddler feet are resting on driver/passenger shoulders. The older children on boosters in very rear seats need the chairs pushed back a bit otherwise no room for their legs. This means shallow boot space left.

P&T fits easily if rear wheels removed but this is a bit of a pain to do every time you get in and out of car.

Taking just one rear chair out of car makes it all easy though and P&T even fits in without collapsing!

szturner · 24/10/2008 19:27

I've got the P&T and it fits fine in my VW Golf!

whyme2 · 24/10/2008 21:14

The P&T fits in the boot of our galaxy although we do take either one or two wheels of depending what else is in there! The wheels are v easy to take on and off. We have 4 dc and the galaxy is excellant and so is P&T.

littleducks · 24/10/2008 21:21

Well dh got my it in a micra boot today, admittedly with the wheels off! We had a sharan and it fitted in fine, i think that its the same size boot

a zafira biit with the seats up is tiiny
