CAR TRAVEL

Will the pram fit in your car boot?

Measure the boot opening, usable storage and folded pram before choosing a compact travel model.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Measure the opening first, then the space inside with your usual bags present. Compare all three folded dimensions and try the real pram: a rectangular size match cannot account for a curved boot or awkward loading angle.

Measure a usable space

Leave the seats in their normal travelling positions. Measure the narrowest opening and the area left after luggage. If a parcel shelf limits height, include that in your notes.

Use the finder’s custom dimensions as a first check. A tight pass should prompt a physical trial rather than an assumption that it fits.

Test how you load it

Check how high you must lift and whether you can grip the folded frame comfortably. Test with a carry bag or bumper bar fitted if that is how you will travel.

Keep packing repeatable

Choose a stable, repeatable storage arrangement and follow your vehicle’s guidance for securing luggage. Store frequently needed items where you can reach them without unloading everything.
