We took Ian's mtn bike with us car hunting yesterday & came to the following conclustions..

We don't want an Escape or a Forester because his Scott won't fit lying down. Also, they didn't pass the iggy lying down test. If ian can't lay completely flat in the back of the vehicle to sleep, we don't want it.

We looked at a few more cars & came to the conlusion that our next vehicle might be a Nissan X-trail. We'll keep looking but we won't buy anything until we return from our May trip.
