2012 Prius C Cargo Dimensions (for stroller)

39"x25"X14.5" - flat area behind rear seat backs. All measurements are approximate.

I'd minus 1" from all measurements just to be sure. The 14.5" vertical is from cargo floor to the underside of the rear cargo area cover.

Best to check for yourself but I think it will fit okay. One caveat is the cargo area narrows as it goes up as the rear seats slope rearward.

YMMV

 

Won't fit a Bugaboo bit will a slightly smaller Combi

 

I would think if you had to, you would be able to take the cover off and stand the stroller up on its side with no problem. I have been pleasantly surprised how much stuff I have been able to load up in the C. I think we should start a new thread called "what I can load into my C" and post pics of what all we have been able to fit in the back! LOL

 

How large is that seat?? Wasn't too bad for me but we're not 5'10" tall either

 

You'd probably know this but the ISOFIX/LATCH system don't have mounting points for the centre position. I didn't check if there is ALR on the centre seatbelt (Prius v don't have it but the regular hatch does).

When I drove the c, I was getting 0.1L/100km (1 MPG(US)) less (which is neither here nor there) than the regular hatch (averaging 4.4L/100km) that I regularly drive. As much as I liked the c to drive around in the city, I reckon if you're going to have a tight squeeze fitting pram, weekly shopping/luggage for holiday and 3 people long term. Personally I am glad I got the hatch even though the c and v weren't available when I bought mine a year ago because of the extra length over an Auris, the depth when you take the false floor out and the non-regular car interior layout.

 

If the c is perfect for you otherwise, find a different seat that will fit better. The regular Prius would be more practical with it's midsize class interior for a growing family, but if the wife is unhappy, you're unhappy!

 

I use the Graco Literider it fits in the rear hatch.

 

The C will get much better mpg, just saying.

 

In case anyone else (like me) is hitting this page on Google looking for the interior cargo bay measurements for a 2015 Prius C, it's approximately 55" x 37" x 25" with the seats down. As stated above the seats take some height away so 25 is a max height, and 37 is a minimum width (between the plastic "shelf" rests, so a few more inches can be squeezed for short items.)

 

I use my c to take my son places from time to time. Personally I wouldn't want to take him in it regularly. I can't fit our stroller (Chicco the one that works with the keyfit30 seat) in without folding one seat down. As mentioned the passenger side seat gets pushed pretty far toward. I am 5'11 and can't fit it behind my seat (Chicco keyfit30) and still have room for me to drive comfortably. Just another opinion.


iPhone ?

 

See attached picture of a Thule Chariot 1 in the back of a Prius C 2018. Not much else will fit but i am still very happy! Hope it helps an active family to settle on a car/stroller combo!
