Hi there
I'm expecting a new baby and a new baby rr too - both next month, anyone's guess which turns up first!
I want to buy a stokke xplory stroller/pushchair for the baby but I'm anxious as to how well it will fit in the boot of the baby rr (5 door). I'm just posting on the off chance someone on here already has this pushchair/ car combo and can reassure me as to fitting it in the back - or even better, post a photo of it stowed in boot.
Very grateful for your help

PS Many thanks to previous posters on subject of baby car seats, I followed your advice and the maxi-cosi and familyfix are being delivered today...
I don't have one I'm afraid but having made the mistakes with my first child in terms of buying the biggest, best, most comfortable push chairs and prams...I soon changed with the second child. They genuinly don't care if they are in a £200 plush stroller with cup holders...or a £25 cheapo. I would go cheapo all the time, much smaller, much more convenient in all situations...no downside other than image and ego. Any kind of luxury stroller will fill the boot of the Evoque. And bear in mind that you will at some point likely to also squeeze in a travel cot, a baby bag, an overnight bag etc etc...
I'm sure it will fit. But when your baby will be 6 months old, there will be more light, compact and convenient options I think. Our daughter is 6 months now and the stroller set is just too bulky. We're looking to buy a Maclaren Triumph now.
If you have the maxi cosi, i would highly recommend the bugaboo, as you can use adapters to use the car seat on the buggy. The frame also fits nicely in the boot. Its also a very good buggy day to day.

We have the Maclaren triumph and its a right bugger to get in as its quite long when folded down
, it just manages to fit if using the golf bag indent, but it marks up the boot quite badly. Look for something a little more lightweight and slightly shorter when folded.
Great info! I'll look around for a smaller one!
Hi,
I can confirm that the Xplory will fits in the boot without an issue. I can also confirm that my wife swears by the Xplory and wouldn't consider using another alternative.
I'll do my best to grab a picture next time it's in the boot, we use the Stokke Car Seat but also carry the standard seat in the boot with the chassis. This way we get the choice of just clipping on the car seat if our child is asleep or transferring to the seat if he's up and about.
I'm yet to find an Xplory owner who has actually changed over to a cheaper, lighter, or smaller stroller.
We have no problem getting the Xplory in our RR. The baby fits snug in the Xplory and the
Xplory fits snug in the Baby
I can tell you that Fitting in a double maclaren (twin techno) is not the easiest...... It will go in, but only at a specific angle, and with a bit of pushing and squeezing!
