Tardis 2.0

Tardis 1.0 (a.k.a. Golf GTI) lasted just a shade over 2 months before it was upgraded to Tardis 2.0 (a.k.a. Acura TSX Sport Wagon). Now the stroller fits comfortably in the trunk (lying flat instead of standing up) without parts of it sticking out and impaired my rearview vision. The extra space also allows us to do grocery shopping with plenty of room left.

Compare the GTI’s trunk:

With the TSX Sport Wagon’s trunk:

The TSX also has a large storage compartment underneath the trunk floor to store even more stuff (like a spare box of liquid formula and diaper changing pad)! There is also a more shoulder and leg room in the back so Leah can now sit (relatively) comfortably between the two car seats and feed the girls.

And when the trunk is devoted of stroller, one can perform all sort of miracles within!

Where Cylon Raiders hide in the Tardis

We’ve been out with the new stroller and the two car seats twice since we picked them up from the shop last weekend. So far everyone we’ve encountered express amazement when we tell them the stroller + car seats fit in our car. One person in our apartment elevator said, “SUV?”, followed by “Really?!” when we told him our car is a small hatchback!

After our initial struggle to find a stroller that will fits in the trunk of our Golf GTI, we found the Baby Jogger City Select. It collapses into a rather shallow but tall dimension which fits easily into the trunk space with spaces for baby stuff or groceries.
