This totaly goes against all my morals, but the mini is a car at the end of the day and ur guna have a gawjus little baby and a mini really isnt the safest place to have a baby in even the smallest shunt will fold minis up soo your going to have a new baby for life.. so id say time to sell the mini and get a safer car )

Thats just what i would do tho cause i know i would be over protective!!

Congratulations by the way!!

If you re brace it well enough, you could cut the parcel shelf.

If he is in kiddy seats in the back for a while there should be space for a buggy on the floor, just make sure you buy a compact one.

We used to get one of those narrow 'fold up sideways' type buggies in between front and back seats but with a baby seat and associated kiddie clutter you will soon tire of the loading and unloading difficulty without rear doors or a hatch. As said the back seat of a Mini is really not a safe place to be for a baby especially on a motorway with the possibility of a rear end shunt, so unless you can have two cars or can mothball the Mini sadly it looks like it will have to go.

In years gone by you could easily have found a cheap Clubman Estate in good condition but they are no longer common, cheap or if in good condition are now expensive!
