Don't know for sure but I can get one in the back of my car which is a Dahaitsu sirion. (I know, I know no-one has ever heard of it and I have only passed about 4 others on the road in my entire life ). However it is quite small probably slightly smaller than a Punto so unless the boot is a very funny shape or something I think you should just about do it.

My Mum has a Punto, it was hard to get the Major buggy in and I mean really really hard!

I think I may have got it in, but it took a long time and I was stressed at the end of it! If it did go in it was on a funny angle and I would have struggled to get anything else in

I wouldn't want to do it daily

It won't fit in my Peugeot 205. I don't know if that's a similar size.

I manage to fit mine in the back of my Clio! And I still have a "spare" spare tyre in there ATM. Bit of I nightmare when I try to get any shopping in my car though!

I initially thought I would have to take out the parcel shelf but I manage OK without.

Sorry I can't be of any use!

The major JUST fits across the footwells in the back of my car but it is now getting impossible. Dd is 9 and fed up with sitting with her knees under her chin! It also means that if another car parks too close to you, you can't put the buggy back in the car as you need to get the door wide open.

Oooh I wish I was looking for a new car. Atm I am climbing across the passenger seat to get in because I can't open the driver's door (or the window for that matter). I've been getting some very funny looks!

It might do, I don't know.

Wouldn't have liked to have tried with two 4 year olds sitting in the back!!
