Default tC family friendly?

Ok well as some of you know my fiancee is pregnant..obviously by my signature

now were looking at strollers and all but I was thinking has anyone had trouble fitting a stroller in the back?

I know the tc is pretty small to move things around but I just wanted to know. If theres anyone out there taht could give me some pointers and all. I know I would probably be better off getting a bigger car but I've invested alot in my car plus I have alot of miles so I wouldnt get much for it

thanks

Have you thought maybe removing half of the back seats?

Leave the rear seat behind the driver there for the baby. And take the middle/behind the passenger rear seat out for the stroller?

hehe congratulations then ;)

So how did you manage space wise with the first kiddo? Did you have the tC? where did you put the stroller?

Are you sure about that? tC's hold value way better than we think

How about going to a Scion Dealership and snoop around?

Yes, the trade-in value isnt too bad, but depending on how much he still owes it may not be worth it.

Lets say 10k is owed on the car, and the dealership only offers 9k. Thats a loss of 1k that would be added onto the cost of financing the new xB.

First off, congrats on your second child! Second, whatever you do, hopefully you'll stay in the Toyota family.

Keep in mind that whatever you get will probably be worth rolling over some negative equity, if indeed the tC doesn't provide what you need in terms of space. After all, as much as we love our Scions, we love our families much much more.

as long as you don't have a system in the back, the strollers should fit fine...

congrats though brotha!
