I can't believe I'm asking this... but, is a Fiat 500 boot big enough for a babies pushchair - by which I mean one of the "old fashioned" ones that folds up length ways? I take it a bugaboo is out of the question?

That is all

It's pretty small, even for it's class. Big enoug to take the groceries, but not a buggy if you want to keep the seats up.

To give you an idea:



I (and the GF) love the 500 and it would be on my list, if it wasn't for the lack of practicality.
MiTo scores way better there. Touch much more expensive.

folddown rear seat is standard. And i think the split is standard as well.

Split seat is standard on the Lounge spec, but optional on the others.

Think its bigger at the base than a Mini boot but narrower at the top.

Any ideas on the Abarth. The Fiat website is truly rubbish at Abarth info.

In answer to your question, no it is not big enough for a stroller *babylove-mothercare*. This went behind the drivers seat. Baby behind the passenger seat. Wine, cheese, beer, smoked meats and a day pack for everybody for a 3week holiday on the Amalfi coast in the boot.

If i could have another car, it would be one of these

You mean considering the split fold seats?
I'd guess they are pretty much identical in the Abarth

There is a seperate abarth website: www.abarthcars.co.uk - BUT, it is truly the WORST website I have ever used.

Yup, it's rubbish on every level possible. Even the photos are crap!

Reckon I need to get one of those pushchairs that they had in The Apprentice that fold up to the size of a matchbox!

A Quinny Zapp will easily fit in there, I picked up one on flea-bay for £35.

Seems a better idea to buy a new pushchair than to decide my car on the size of the boot.

Oh no, what have I started...?
