which stroller/travel system for hatchback?

JadEle

Hi all, not sure if this is the best place to post but looking for advice from any parents with a hatchback. 

I am looking into what buggy and car seat to buy when the little one arrives later this year. I have a Toyota corolla hatchback and I am concerned about how easily a folded buggy with fit in the boot, will it just take up all the available space? 

Do any of you have buggies and hatchbacks? any recommendations? 

Thanks.

It may not be so much the fit, as the weight: do think about that for whatever system you buy. 

It's a while ago now: we had a Silver Cross pram and separate pushchair: both were hand-me-downs and will have seen a few more adventures. BUT I pretty much never put the pram frame in the boot (Vauxhall Astra at the time, I think), and only rarely the pushchair. It fitted, but it weighed a ton and took up a lot of space. So they lived in the hall and were used for walking outings. 

Then I had a succession of umbrella fold buggies which were light and easy to fold, there was much more space around them for shopping, change bags, snacks and drinks. Even the double buggy I borrowed for a while didn't take up too much space. They went in and out of the car as needed.
