Currently got a bog standard 2/3 door car. Everyone keeps tutting at me telling me I'll need a 4/5 door once baby arrives

Is this really necessary? Really hate the idea of a people carrier and volvo's are a definite no-no, much more of motorbike girl but guess that's out for a while

forgot mention that I intend on using a sling, at least for the first 6 months

Not necessary but it certainly makes your life easier....

It will be very hard putting your DC in a car seat in the back of the car in a 2 door.

I must say though that I have an irrational hatred of 2 door cars unless they only have 2 seats! WTF is the point of having seats in the back of the car and only doors in front so that any passengers in the back have to struggle to get in and out. Hate them!!!!!!

that does seem quite irrational, but so's my dislike of cars with however many doors!

seems like an expense i can't justify so think i'll stick with what we've got

We;ll see how long you last!!!!

My sis was the same. Had a 2 door BMW which was their pride and joy. Then her DD came along!
