Toyota Prado GX on baby duties for a Trip to Byron Bay

Will the Toyota Prado fit all my baby gear in it

Prado GX – The real test of a family SUV? Packing for a holiday with a baby. And the vehicle chosen was the Toyota Prado GX

For our first family getaway, we loaded the Toyota Prado with everything that comes with travelling with bub — the pram, bassinet, play mat, suitcases, toys, nappy bag and all the extras that somehow multiply overnight.

What surprised me most was the boot space.

At first glance, it didn’t look huge, and I honestly wasn’t sure everything would fit.

But once we started packing, the Prado swallowed it all surprisingly well.

Everything had its place, and we didn’t have to leave anything behind or play an intense game of luggage Tetris.

Cruising up the Motorway to Byron Bay proved effortless. The Prado is so smooth, with enough performance and economy to make driving easy.

We played nursery rhymes, which isn’t our usual choice of travelling music, but it kept bub asleep. It’s a long drive, with a lot of breaks, but we felt relaxed and comfortable every time we stopped.

For a family holiday, that’s exactly what you want.

It made travelling with bub feel that little bit easier, and after a weekend away, the Prado definitely proved itself as a practical family SUV.

Its easy to see why Prados are so popular with families and gets the Mum and Bub tick of approval.
