Always a popular SUV for families, the Outback is more a wagon style vehicle. Its slightly lower than normal SUVs. But there is plenty of boot space for prams and nappy bags etc.

It also means that, while there is adequate rear seat room, I am bending over slightly more when I’m putting bub in and out of his seat.

This isn’t too much of an issue as the rear doors open wide enough for easy access. Also, as I’m often in the back seat I am comfortable. There is enough room for me to sit and focus on him.

Fitting the baby seat is a breeze. With the isofix and top tether points being easily accessible.

There is also rear air conditioning to keep the temperature at bub comfort levels.

I think a lot of new mums will relate to the slight anxiety you feel when you are taking bub out by yourself. Will it all go ok, is he going to be good in the back.

Still in the newborn phase, bub can get a bit grizzly at times. So, a real test for us is how comfortable he is when driving. In the Outback he quickly falls off to sleep. Its smooth and quiet ride is bub approved.

We have the Subaru Outback for three weeks, so stay tuned for another update next week.

We drove the Sport over 1700km for the two weeks we had it. This included long distance cruising, lots of dirt roads, a bit of icy conditions and pottering around town.

We also took the Sport to the farm and drove around there for a few days.

It was cold out there, around 2 degrees, so the toasty seat warmers were appreciated. The full-time symmetrical AWD and X Mode ensured that the XT Sport handled the dirt roads, icy tar roads and around farm driving with ease.

On a particularly long stretch, I was in the car driving for seven hours and the cabin ergonomics and comfortable seats meant that I was relaxed and not tired when I arrived.

The more powerful engine in the XT responds beautifully to all situations. Economy was around 8.8L/100k for the time we had the vehicle.

The Outback XT Sport may miss out on a few cosmetic features of the Touring Model like sunroof and memory front seats but is well equipped and priced from $52,190 plus the usual costs its outstanding value.
