baby stroller in trunk

carrieongrove · 11-07-2009, 01:39 PM

I have a Gen II Prius, and our Maclaren fits beautifully...with lots of room to spare.

We have 3 girls ranging 10 months to 13 years, we make it work.

As much room in the back of the Prius as there was in the back of my 1990 Camry wagon. We took the baby camping in the Camry, went away water skiing with all the gear, no problem.

Thirty-two years and still my baby ... arthritis in her knees so we do what we must.

I have my folding golf 3 wheel push cart, a full set of golf clubs and bag, a couple of pair of golf shoes, a few dozen golf balls and caps... and still have some room left in the hatch.

BTW, I had to put my golf bag/clubs on an angle in my old 2005 Prius. In the 2010, I can put my golf bag/clubs in directly side to side in the hatch. And yes...I did try it out at the dealer prior to buying the 2010 Prius to make sure it actually fit that way.

I hate to bring it up, but the bigger issue will not be the stroller, but the rear facing childseat that your infant will have to ride in. One front seat WILL have to be pushed all the way forward in order to fit the carseat, and that leaves room for someone 5'4" or shorter in whichever seat has to be moved forward (in my experience).

That is true. Also, I have an infant and a tod. The 2 car seats take the entire room in the back seat. The space left between the 2 car seats in the middle cannot fit a child, maybe a
Chihuahua

. When setting the car seat, keep in mind you must not block that vent (to cool the battery I think) in the right corner of the back seat.

My tod don't like riding the Prius because of the lack of room for her legs and no DVD...
