Hello guys!
I guess this is my introduction for myself and at the same time I would like to start a topic of discussion on baby car seats and strollers. My wife and I just got a 2015 Q3 back In Januray 2015, we also have a 2010 A5. We are expecting out first child (He's a Boy) to be here with us around the end of March of this year.
Before we got the Q3, I actually took a small stroller to the dealership and put it inside the trunk to see if it would actually fit. I placed it parallel to the side doors, my intention is to maximize the use of the trunk since we travel often and we would still like to have some space for luggage.
Alright, so here's the dilemma we have now... That stroller I tried is not the stroller we would be using for the baby, I just wanted to try the trunk space as a preliminary precaution before buying the Q3. We are now looking at strollers and baby car seats and I am finding out that there's not so many car seats that would fit without having the passenger seat all the way forward (some what uncomfortable for the passenger).
So, I looked in the forum and I couldn't find any topics on this matter, (which strollers fit vertically in the trunk and what car seats take up the least space in the back seats) or maybe I didn't look in the right places.
We narrowed it down to 2 strollers that would fit vertically in the back and 2 car seats that won't make the passenger seat move all the way forward. It's between the Orbit stroller and car seat system, and the Bugaboo stroller & Nuna Baby car seat. I actually went to a couple of stores and tried these on the Q3.
Another option would be to get a roof rack, but I wouldn't like to go that route (just yet)
With that being said, what do you guys have to share on this?
Thanks!
Here's a pic of the Orbit with the stroller seat.
