Advice on Stokke Trailz and car boot or alternatives please!

Hello
I'm quite liking the look of the Stokke Trailz but I'm aware it's very big. If anyone has one can they advise on the pros and cons?
I drive a '19 Mercedes C Class. Will this fit in my boot?
The Pram shops aren't allowing the testing of this at the moment and I don't want to spend the money and it not be usable.

If anyone has alternatives please let me know. I'm struggling to find something I love.
I had a big silvercross with DS1 that I hated and an iCandy jogger with DS2 which was nice.
I definitely want swivel wheels and would like something for all terrain. I'm semi rural and spend a lot of time on sports fields.

Thanks in advance. 🙂

My budget is up to 1.5k. To include the carrycot and a footmuff for next winter.
I have my car seat already and don't require adapters. Thanks D

Love my mountain buggy! No advice on the trailz but I know many other all terrain ones that could suit your needs. Mountain buggy is really good (we have urban jungle). We had it the other day at the zoo and someone there had a Stokke trailz and it did look harder to push than our MB. It seemed bulky and while the MB is slightly more compact when folded it also has a much bigger seat. Carrycot plus can go with it and makes it a carrycot and then a parent facing seat up to 15kg.

Other ones to take a look at:
Bugaboo Fox
Out n about nipper
Thule urban glide
Silver cross pioneer
Uppababy vista

Thank you! I'll take a look at your suggestions.
Yes the trailz does look massive to be honest although I like the idea of the height though (I'm 5ft 3 and DP is 5ft 9 were hardly needing the height haha...)
Thanks for your reply it was helpful 🙂

Bugaboo Fox is amazing

FWIW Uppababy vista seemed tank-like and I’m 5” too. But the seat is very high and you can buy adaptors to make the seat higher. Bugaboo Fox is also very high. Likewise with the mountain buggy as on a regular stroller DC could drag their feet to stop the pram moving but can’t with the MB! Smile

We have the mountain buggy swift. So the smaller version. Tiny car and it fits with carrycot in boot fine. Dh is 6’2 and finds the handle height fine. We live rural and walk with it daily fine.
The urban is probably more off road, but I’m very short and found it too tall and heavy for me ( we have 15 steps to front door also)

Update incase anyone finds themselves on this from google etc.

The chassis fits in the boot of our saloon. That's it. The Pram is massive. Lovely but massive. Too big for 5ft4 of me to push around almost felt rather silly at the size when in the mirror.

Sturdy and lovely but heavy and just so so big.

We went for the bugaboo fox 2 suggested above which has a tiny fold.
Thanks everyone 😊
