I have a modified my10 hatch and a 6 month old baby. My partner loves the car, my daughter sleeps perfectly everytime we go anywhere, and we have been away with a car full of gear with no problems whatsoever.

The main issue with the hatches is that the child anchor points are positioned in a way that restricts rear storage. However, we have a very good large pram and it still all works fine.

Lib wagon or Foz will be better for practicality/insurance etc, but it depends on how important performance is to you. I looked at changing to one of those two options after our bub was born and it was simply not cost effective in terms of performance as we had an insurance win with our car.

Mind you, it doesn't get driven in anger when baby is in the car, so if I didn't already have the car when the bub was born I might not have cared as much about performance.
