Spec me a flavour of wallpaper paste...

That Superb you posted looks good, and the load/baby crap carrying ability of these is immesne.

I am in a similar situation as you (need a babywagen) and I am looking at SAAB 9-5 Estates. They are extremely cheap, capacious and very safe.
 
the mk1 superb had loads of legroom, they used a slightly longer wheelbase of the last passat..the one I was it in the back of I'm sure had flip down footrests on the passenger and driver seat like an airplane seat..really nice place to be seated for a while (the new one is butt ugly mind but is getting rave reviews as a family car and the boot is very clever)

Why make such a big deal about £8k? Why does motors always turn into a "but for £4k you could get this"? Why can't we just assume that that OP can spend £8k (which, to be fair, really isn't a huge amount of money) comfortably?

Ok, sorry to come back to this but you need to be answered as you seemed to pick on my post.

The thread started out that he wanted a family wagon, has a kid coming and soon would like a weekend car.
Now, you can budget for cars, however you cannot budget for a child. £8k is a lot of blandness when £4k would get something just as good.

As a parent of a young boy, any extra cash sat in the account would have been preferrable to a more expensive car.

Just because he has an £8k budget, doesn't mean he has to spend £8k.

I can't really offer advise on the car front but would changing the pushchair to something smaller and/or one that folds better be more ideal?

Seems better to get a pushchair to fit the car, not the other way around :)

I was thinking exactly the same, infact, i used to have a mondeo Mk3 and had quite a large pram which fit in snugly, along with luggage for a week away :)

Then i bought a A3 sportback, with a smaller boot, and got a smaller push chair and it fits the pushchair along with a weeks shopping in nicely.

thing is, if he has a childs pushchair to go on in there, he's a family man and might want to put other large objects in there as well. A pushchair is just an example.

If you've got young children theres all sorts of crap you might have to take with you when visiting places like high chairs for example. if you're going to visit your parents for the week and take the kid with you. Your parents havent got one, what do you do ? take it with you of course.

The OP has also asked for ISOFix, and I don't know which cars do / don't have it fitted however I would bet that the Mk3 Mondeo doesn't.

Mk 3.5 has isofix as standard, as does A3 sportback, and many other cars from around 2003 onwards
 
we bought a smaller pushchair for jake...... when he was quite a bit older.
new borns have travel systems these days, not simple little pushchairs that are small.

we had both, and the travel system fit in the audi too, infact, we had a graco quattro tour deluxe to be precise, and that fit in the audi too, only reason we changed is because after 2 years, the front and rear right wheel on the pram fell off after a hard collision with a kerb trying to entertain my son :D (don't tell the missus though :D)
