I would advise that you wait until baby is on the way before you make any decisions, one because as Angie says they don't always come along exactly when you plan, and two as we found out even when they do you can get two at once .

Re: It's time to swap ... :( feeling sad.
Do you have just the one car?
We're expecting our first in September... At the start of the year we have a Z4 and an SLK!
Now i've got the TT for the boot and the wifes SLK is getting replaced by a qashqui
95% of my commute will be to work and back on my own. For family trips to see family the Quashqui drives like a normal car but is pretty big, and inexpensive... And has rear doors with isofix!!

Keep the Z4, £300 buys you a Nissan Almeria to use. You'd save the outlay in fuel and you'll get £120 when you scrap it.

Re: It's time to swap ... :( feeling sad.
It makes me sad reading this post as I know I will also be in the same boat very shortly. That's why I'm enjoying the Zed as much as I can, while I can. It still puts a giant grin on my face, whether it's just looking back at it after I lock it or whether I'm just gently cruising, then see a patch of clear road ahead and then putting my foot down. Think I got my dream car too early, it's going to be down hill for a long while after this....

Re: It's time to swap ... :( feeling sad.
When my first kid was due everyone told me I would have to change my car. I manged fine when he arrived as my wife's car is a decent size and I only used the z to take him to nursery. The lack of child locks on the door did become an issue though. With 2 kids it was inevitable I would need to swap so changed to a santa fe in may. I could have held off until October but wanted the best price for the z. We went to centre parcs recently and did need all the space the santa fe has.
