baby stroller in trunk

[thanasi]

How much room is left over in the trunk with a baby stroller in it? Does anyone have pictures to show? I would like to allay my wife's concerns.

Thanks.

I don't have any pictures, but I have a rather large stroller (eddie bauer adventurer) and I still have plenty of room in the hatch with the stroller on board.

And how long is a piece of string? Or how big is the stroller? Isn't the answer just to compare cubic footage of the 2010 with that of any other car you might consider buying? In any roughly similar size category, it's hard to believe it could be less.
Otherwise, buy a pickup truck.

Might I suggest taking your stroller to the dealer and just trying it out? That is probably the best way to allay her concerns.

Wait until tomorrow and I will have a pic for you...

Thought I had a pic of the stroller, looks like it's just the corner (was a cargo net issue pic). I can say there's plenty of room for a couple of duffel bags, etc. with a Peg Perego type stroller. If I can manage a photo, I'll get one up as well. This stroller fits in the Gen III better than it did in the Gen II thanks to the redesign of the rear hatch area.

Here it is... Sorry, the quality of second picture is awful but I did not realize it was that bad in my small phone screen. I also added a typical plastic grocery bag for reference.

My stroller is a standard Graco, which tend to make bulky strollers. Some other brands, like Chico, tend to make smaller strollers. There are 2 different ways to fit it, seen in the first and second pictures. In the second, in case you wonder, the trunk door does close but your back view through the rearview mirror is somewhat compromised. I also have a jog stroller for twins, which is bigger. It also fits when folded down but that one pretty much takes up the whole room.

Hope this helps…

Thanks very much. I will show the wife. We don't have a stroller yet because the baby is on the way...

Snapped a couple of ours after I put it in for an early trip tomorrow - it collapses a bit more narrowly, but taller. Still leaves some space on one side (pushed all the way to the rear and to the vehicle's left). The stroller is a Peg-Pérego Pliko P3 Classico.

Sorry for the graininess, didn't get the regular camera out, so the Blackberry had to do...

It sounds like you're wife doesn't want the car for other reasons and making it about the stroller not fitting/space issues. I have friends who have a baby and older child who drive a prius with no problem or space issues. You can make it work if you want..that's the key.
