Mountain buggy

I know I could just clear my tip of a car out and go and try it but I don't suppose anyone knows whether a mountain buggy would fit in the boot of a punto?

Oh and should I buy one?!

We have a punto and we have just bought a mountain buggy - couldn't get it in the boot but it did fit in passenger seat (though that is probs not much use to you). Buy one anyway! I love mine, its the best buggy ever.

It might fit in with the handle folded completely away, the parcel shelf removed and possibly removing one of the back wheels (not as difficult as it sounds, it just lifts off).

I had a customer with a VW Polo and it fitted with these adjustments.

I have a MB and absolutely LOVE it. Just for the record, I drive an old Volvo V40 estate and in order to fit it in my boot with the carrycot I have to remove one of the back wheels, probably won't have to when the seat goes on the chassis.

Sorry to hijack, but while we are one the subject, is it possible to buy new seat fabrics for the MB?

Shoobiedoo, yes replacement seat fabrics are available for Mountain Buggies.

They do have to be ordered in by your dealer so might take a week or two if MB UK have the colour you want in stock (they usually have most in stock).

I think they're about £85-£90.
