Will the Bugaboo Fox 5 fit in a Volkswagen Polo?

Fits, shelf out At least 6 cm to spare on every side. That's against the tailgate opening, so it assumes the parcel shelf is out: we don't have the height under the Polo's shelf yet.

Calculated from published measurements for the Volkswagen Polo (Mk6, 2017 on). Not yet tested in person.

Loading it

Fold the Bugaboo Fox 5 and lay it flat, longest side (90 cm) across the boot between the wheel arches, pushed back against the rear seats.

That leaves space beside it for a changing bag or a small shop.

Boots have curves, lips and sloping tailgates that a box measurement can't capture. Take the folded pram to the car, or the car to the shop, before you buy.
