Im looking into this now as the wife has only 6weeks left!! We've got the Mamas and Papas Aton seat and isofox base for the wife's A3, but Im thinking on getting an isofix base also for my car so we can use both cars without too much fuss, although I dont have the brackets. Im sure I read on here you can get the isofix brackets somewhere, has anybody got any links or info?

Think retro fitting Isofix brackets is failry easy - although i dont know how, all i know is that my wife Focus ST didnt have them when we bought and the dealer retro fitted.

People said we were mad but it was fine - makes you think what you must take rather than all the crap that goes with it. For reference, we had 2 group 1 seats, 1 suitcase, 1 double pram (phil n teds), 2 inflatable kiddies beds + pillows, enough change of clothes for the week and odds n sods. It's been no different with the RS4 now we have 4 kids - people said we need a 7 seater but no way.
I can vouch for a Mini swallowing more than it looks able to... but how big was your suitcase... and how do you get four kids (+ 2 adults?) in an A4 body shell? One in the boot? :shock: :D

Pretty big - too big for carry on luggage on an airplane
