You need a smaller pram

You lot are funny
I have 2 kids, and sold my CTR to extend the kitchen. Years of pain ensued until I could finally get back into a hot hatch. Once the 172 is gone, she will find a million reasons why you need to spend your hard earned on something else rather than getting a new car!!!!!
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES------KEEP THE CAR. It will still all work out in the end.

Gallons to the mile not the other way round:dapprove:
She needs a range rover why ?
I swear some people are brain dead. Does she know how small babies are ?
even when they get older you don't need to carry a jungle gym round everywhere for them in case they get bored.
But tbh it sounds like you will do what she says anyway even if it annoys you so enjoy whatever she says says you can have :rasp:

she is on about getting a ........
ready for this..........
range rover
She's taking you for a mug mate imo, no reason why a range rover is better for a family, prob a pain getting a baby in there, no doubht worse on fuel, she just wants to be seen driving round with her shades on wag style.
Like others have said, I'd lol in the gf's face if she asked me to sell my car
I have a 2door coupe with a baby since she was born. Fooking change my car for a baby!
I right then! It's all down hill from here mate!
Do you know how big the clio's boot is? It's massive mate! I have moved house 3 times in the clio I had.
Imagine even letting her finish her sentence without slapping her in the head!
Get this and enjoy the twisties!

I don't get people who insist they need 4 door because they're having a baby LOL. People are soft as s**t nowadays.
Can commit to looking after a child for 18 years but can't bend forwards a little bit to get the thing in/out of the car for 2 years or whatever until it can get in itself ?

ITB'd 172 POPTART
Hmmmm Sounds like what all new mums say. Its impracticle etc.
I let her know that any car we can afford at the time will not have the NCAP rating the clio has at that period in time and that its much safer.
I also went on to say its my pride and joy and gave her a really big guilt trip. Like sitting in my car for an hour or so till she caved in.
Let her know afterwards maybe you are right and then by the time the baby came it was too late and was driving her about with baby and it was fine. She now has a 3 door and it never made the situation at the time any worse or better than it was.

In all serious-ness, It's possible to cart the family around in a 3-door, but it's a pain if it's your only means of transport. 5-doors are definitely a boon with kids, especially when they're playing up!
I'd suggest you get a cheap family run around (I'd imagine a mk5 5-door Fiesta is cheap to buy, run and insure?) then keep the 172!
The Clio is worth f*ck all anyway and sure as hell won't make a dent in the purchase price of a new-ish RR! (06 plate Sports are ~£28k, down from £44k 18 months ago!)
It's hard to underestimate how much of a bargain the Clio is - Fast-ish, fun and cheap to run! *

Range Rover ? Nice car .. if you're a millionaire.

also 5 door cars with kids that dont walk, climb in seats themselves is a proper killer on the old back

This topics like a worst nightmare come true. The day the fun ends and you have to buy a convenience vehicle ... :dead:
Kids, dont have em
Or have kids AND have fun!? :S
:rasp:
No, just bought another car. Its not just putting a pushchair in thats a problem when you have a baby. If you go away anywhere you need to be putting travel cots in, nappies, feeding stuff, clothes, your gear. I agree you could get by the odd day using the car with the split rear seats but long term there are easier options.
