Yaris cross door and car seat

[Datyc]

Hi everyone. New here! Today I’ve bought my new (well 2022) Yaris cross and I am (wel was…) very excited! 

Since buying I’ve read about the back doors and how access with car seats is horrendous because they don’t open fully.

I have a Doona pram which basically folds into a car seat and you lift the whole thing in. I previously had an MG ZS and Vauxhall Astra where I had no issue at all getting it in and out (obviously had to be careful with hitting paintwork etc). But it fit.

I’m now worried this won’t fit in the Yaris cross. I really thought I was buying a decent sized car. I sat in the back of the car for the test drive and I didn’t notice the door and I didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Any experience with these doors and car seats? Surely a baby car seat, even a bulky one, can fit through the door!

Hi, 

you will be ok. Only it’s annoying that the rear doors dies not open wide and cause awkward experience getting in and out or loading larger items, equipment. Space wise should be as bog or bigger than corsa mg etc. , although it’s a small car the overall design allows extra interior space and larger boot. See when you have the car how things are going and let us know.

Hi! Did your Doona end up fitting in your Yaris Cross? We are expecting and this is the car seat we want but I’m also concerned if it will fit or be an issue to get in and out?
