double for 10mth old & newborn to fit in car???

[loishayley]

hi baby no.4 will be 10mths when baby no.5 is due, I am debating pushchairs at mo. As I will have 5 children by then my tiny 7 seater is full with all seats up leaving no boot. Before i give up on finding one that will fit my car and resign myself to walking just wondered if anyone has some suggestions out there???
thanks lois

that is an option and then two singles when dh comes out with us you mean. umm. as for roof box im only 5ft3in and that looks a long way up high to lift a pushchair lol i know im a wimp lol

Can you disable airbag and put the 8yo in the front during the week. I do this with my 5yo as the school run is literally 3 mins away (am pregnant with SPD hence no walking)?

I think there was someone who had a Zafira, had the same problem and got a roofbox for her P&T, also consider a sling and a single for a while?

don't give up just on pictures.

you might find that one that folds big, but very flat is what you need, rather than something that folds into a small bundle iyswim?

I have a Renault Scenic Grande. I'm thinking all car seats are going to fit in as 8yr, 7yr & 4yr are on booster seats then 10mth on forward facing baby seat with newborn in my maxi cosi cabriofix. A squeeze but just does it, at least I wont have anyone asking for a lift anywhere.

Thanks again I need to see this pushchairs in flesh as I seen pics on net & they look big altho I'm not the best at judging size LOL.
Perhaps I've ruled out pushchairs too quickly probably the hormones making me feel like giving up before i started looking properly.

I feel like there is hope again as I didnt want to give the car up with school being a 50 min walk away. That would have meant moving house nearer. thank you guys

What car do you have Lois?

Will it fit all the car seats in?

also - I used this for twins, then newborn and 21 mth old, now 14 mth old, 3 year old and other 3 year old sits on roof (when I am in a rush and late for school run or when they ae both tired at the same time!!!!)

double nipper - from birth and fits lovely in the boot of my 7 seater, stood up with front wheel between rear seats, also a fantastic lie flat, easy to push and heardwearing pushchair - good luck

Thank you guys for your suggestions I will visit the baby farm near me which has loadsa pushchairs on display & look out for the ones you have suggested in paticular. I dont know anyone with as many kids or anyone with any kids so close together so is a big help to have someone make helpful suggestions instead of just looking blankly at me lol

Maybe a baby jogger city mini? They fold pretty flat. Good luck finding something

Mucho respect a 10 month old and a baby

Really difficult one, I'm about to have no4 and ended up going for a big 7 seater as none of the boot seat ones had any room for a pram in the back. My huge 7 seater only has room for a small Maclaren in the back as it is, we will have to take a seat out to fit the double pram in so have 3 DCs across the back and one DC in the boot.

A umbrella fold Maclaren might be your best bet, a P&T can fold small with the front wheel off.
