Don't think usual umbrella ones will fit as SOOO tiny boot. Also toddler DGS has low tone in trunk so slumps in horizontal seat. was going for quinny zapp but seat quite flat so no good. He needs backward sloping seat to keep him in good sitting and not on his tailbone! think this impossible quest??

Maxi-Cosi Streety perhaps?

I have a Peugeot 107 which is v similar in size. The only buggy I could get to fit was the Quinny Zapp

can you get a maclaren into the footwell of the back seats? remember that if you're putting a car seat in there at least one half of the footwell will always be empty anyway.

I won't MailyDail as in an accident it could cause major injury.

What about a baby jogger City Mini? They are pretty tiny folded up and have seat back options all the way to lie flat.

I have a zia star (think that's the right name but it's in the boot of the car and I'm in my PJ's!) which is quite expensive but very good and folds up in a very compact way.

Friends who have bought other 'small' buggie have always been more impressed with mine....

We had an Aygo and my friend has one too. Umbrella ones did fit. Friend has had a couple of different buggies and they have fit too. Take car to shop when buying and try them.

Baby Jogger City Mini fits in the boot of a mini and babe lies flat and adjusts all the way to upright. Wheels pop off easily if it doesn't fit but the mini boot is teeny tiny!!!

Thank you everyone - I will look into all of these, may be a shorty umbrella one will do as I am not tall anyway. Back off to research above ideas PS Not keen on stuff in back seats as its a BRAND NEW CAR !! Yahoo, (never had one before)!!

My loola fits in the boot of our Aygo, but you do have to take the seat off the chassis each time, which is very easy but fairly heavy. Have also fitted an umbrella fold in, it fits in on an angle. I think the M and P Luna fits too but have not tried it.

We already have a Loola which I love, but its heavy and aygo boot is very high compared to dear old micra, I'm only 4'11 so would struggle. Daughter has a M&P Luna and DGS slumps in it. Have looked at Zia star just now and its GORGEOUS and afordable, but seat horizontal (needs to be sloping back at an angle to keep monkey from slumping - quinny zapp same. Arrgh....
Baby jogger city mini slopes back (apparently) but bit expensive for a 4th (and very spare) buggy for Nana (me) to cart around just in case I babysit! Will keep looking for titchy light buggy.

bugaboo bee? these are teeny when folded, and you can fold in one piece even rear facing. Very light and at its lowest the handlebar is tiny.

I'm looking into this 320523213840 on ebay, cheap as chips but ok for a 4th little used buggy. Folds in half and has lowest handle I've seen, not brilliant review but will be used infrequently..so...? Will try umbrella one we already have (chicco) first though as I clearly have an addiction to buying buggies (3 so far ). The bee sounds good but too expensive I think to sit in my boot for 90% of the year! Also DGS is long! Maybe with the next baby?!

I've bought it.!!
Folds small, light (under 6KG) lots of extras, low handle for shortie me, cheap to buy new, light usage only, fair reviews, suitable for slumpy DGS!!
Thats it now, no more buggies.
