Thread: Baby buggies in a Panda

Started 4 months, 2 weeks ago by ivantate
What buggies go in the boot? I wont have chance to check for a while yet either. I have pretty much made my mind up on the Jane Slalom Pro due to the technical features and the packages available (also the ebay deals). Would be interesting how the manufacturers box shaped figures wedge in the none box shaped boot. Basically being a bit nosey to see what buggies you have and also...

[quote=ivantate;2194314]What buggies go in the boot? I wont have chance to check for a whileQUOTE] I wont have a chance for a while because me, the girlfriend and the car are in Italy. Trying to explain to an Italian shop I want to try and fit the wheelchair in the boot but not buy it because the £/Euro exchange rate is not what it used to be is difficult. Just trying to save ...

you are fine with a maclaren! Our off road buggy we take the quick release wheels off. A lot of Buggies look pretty hopeless these days - too much style but not big enough wheels to cope with life. Above all, lightness is good!

I have a Jane Carrera Pro (similar to the newer Solo) and a Matrix car seat to go with it... Very handy, fits easily with plenty of room left over. I have the sliding rear seat and in the pic below, the seat is fully back... My first son Jamie is modelling the car seat... Now that I have two wee boys, I now also have a Jane Powertwin and Rebel Pro car seat to match. I need ...

Having thought again... The Slalom Pro is basically the same set up as the Powertwin... Is it the pushchair she likes or is it the car seats that she prefers? If it was the car seats, I'd recommend going for a Carrera or Solo base. The reason for this is that it's a simple kick and fold to put it in the boot and it will fit much better. If she opts for the Slalom Pro, she will ...

Thanks for the answers. It has given me some ideas. Smurf, she drives with the seat 1 notch back but we only have the poor persons fixed rear seat. The big wheeled buggy was for getting out and about, it will definately be 'offroaded'. Maybe a smaller folding chair for everyday use would be a good idea, more wheels to fit in the garage!

Wee Smurf replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Yes the big wheels are definitely suited to the off-roading better than the smaller ones. Best to pump them up using anything other than the piddley little pump supplied... Husband arrived at hospital with toddler and pram with 3 flat wheels. Pram didn't steer too well... Lol And I wouldn't describe my Panda as having a rich person's sliding back seat... I'm the type to keep a car for ...

The sliding seat is a great option but not many seem to take it. I think it is down to most people buying stock cars on discount. Definately an option I would have if buying new, although I tend to tick all the boxes when building a car on the configurator! I have been keeping an eye on the scrapyards but none have turned up. The sporting just has the standard folding seat not even ...

Eleganza rear seats wouldn't be of much use to you as you'd have to change the seat covers in the whole car (and probably the door cards too), and the Sporting seat colours are much nicer. The Sporting seat covers were also used in the original 4x4 Pandas, and they're rarer than Eleganzas. And I'm the same with the configurator on the "I'll have that and that too!" Only I also ordered ...
