Mothercare mino, or maxi cosi noa???

hello!
I have been looking at the mothercare mino and the maxi cosi noa, and wondered if anyone has opinions on these?
I have a Toyota verso, but the problem is that when the boot seats are up (I childmind) there is not even enough room for our umbrella fold buggy behind them. I was hoping that the mino or noa would fit in a footwell or somewhere?
I have a quinny zapp for the car seat to fit on, but don't like the fact that it doesn't recline- my 8 month old likes to sleep in the buggy when we're out.
Thanks!

I dont know the Mino, but I love the Noa lots :) Its such a useful little pushchair packed with features like it self locks, standing fold, pull along handle, pocket for raincover, good recline and hood for what it is etc etc. Highly recommended here :)

You forgot the one hand fold and unfold Tiggy!

I have one and it's really useful. I'd imagine it'd get in your footwell ok too.

Thankyou ladies!
I've had a look at the mino in mothercare and didn't like it. I want to look at the noa too, not sure where to find one though!
I have also thought about getting the zapp xtra seat to fit on the zapp (have one which we use as car seat wheels!) but Im not sure I like it much- not stable enough for my liking....

Don't buy the Zapp Xtra seat if you are using the car seat because you need to remove two seat adaptors to put the car seat on each time and believe me, they are incredibly easy to lose, and at £30 a set, are too expensive to lose! There's simply nowhere to put them when you remove them whikst you switch to the car seat adaptors. I was chatting to a lady at Dorel yesterday about this issue and she thought a pocket had been created to put them in, but she couldn't find it.

Another vote for the Maxicosi Noa: got mine a couple of weeks ago after agonising for weeks (was all set to go for the Zapp...). Not small enough to be allowed on a plane as hand luggage (despite the fact that many carry-on cases looked possible bigger grrrrr) but still nice and neat. The handle height isnt as high as a Maclaren (I'm 5,5" and its comfortable but I think anyone taller might find it an issue) and I wonder if my DS might be a little cramped when he's older - buts thats to be expected from something thats designed to be compact. Right now, at 9m, he's very happy in it.

My 3.5 year old got pushed home in the Noa a few days ago after we did too much shopping and filled the car up!! She and DH walked home....she was threatening melt down (Big time) and DH refused to let her walk (he would normally). She was fine and she still looks really comfy in the Noa. I think the long leg length helps.
