Hi Ruth,

It sounds like an impossible circle to square (and I’m a parent so I know) to find a small car that’s spacious enough to take a big buggy. You’d be amazed how many cars fall down on that one. The best bet is to go for a compact estate. The best ones out there are the Skoda Fabia Combi or SEAT Ibiza ST – both are based on the same box of mechanical bits, both are reliable and safe. The Ibiza is slightly safer (it’s a newer design than the Skoda and gets five EuroNCAP safety stars to the Skoda’s four) and both should swallow any buggy you care to throw at them.
