Have you ever transported a bed in your car?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

I just won a toddler bed off ebay and need to collect it. We have a 7 seater car, mazda 5, just wondering if anyone else has ever managed to transport a bed in their car???!

I had an old espace, it fitted a full size single bed in it easily with either the seats taken out or with them folded in half - stuck out the boot my a couple of inches that way.

how did you secure the boot shut? is it ok to drive like that?

i picked a toddler bed up (ebay too) it went in on its side into our zafira with seats down and boot closed.

I had a stretchy bungee rope thing that I used to attach the boot to something underneath the car. The boot is so heavy it would have stayed down fie anyway but that was just to be safe IYSWIM
