My wife and I have recently brought home a couple of very well bred babies (both parents FTCHs )...
Thinking about how I can transport all living creatures in one go - What 4x4 could I get a dog box big enough for 2 labs plus a double folded down pushchair in the back? Also must have ISOFIX fitting points on the backseat. Oh must do 35mpg. And cost less than 15k.
im not too good with cars , I suspect not many 4X4 big enough for all your gear wil do 35+ mpg but I do stand to be corrected ......and probably will on this forum
Apparently a Freelander 2 is not big enough for twin newborns and buggy etc. - that's how I got a good deal on mine
Going on the amount of dust/dirt working dogs generate, even with a dog box, would recommend a double cab.
Congrats
An Aston Martin, and do one, it will be cheaper in the long run!!
If not here is one out of left field a Volvo estate or Mercedes e class estate they both are cavernous .go on forever...
Trust me I have had all the above 2kids 3 Goldens rabbit they all fitted in seems like hundred years ago......
Having been in a similar situation; new baby plus 3/4 dogs including labs we went for a L200 pick up with a CAB dog box in the back.
Reason being no matter how good your crate / dog box wet dogs shake and that dirty mucky water still ends up in the car and is not just contained to the boot - therefore babies kit gets covered.
Love it as dogs can be minging and the car part stays relatively clean - just the associated baby dirt (vomit, milk etc).
L200 won't quite get you the 35mpg but think others of a similar class (Ranger, Hilux etc) will get you close.
