They love riding in the back on their Poochstyle mat!

Lady Godiva and her labs are just too cute!

I could have written what she wrote, but change "labs" to "non-fur kids" (maybe I should get mats for the kids???)

For me, I needed space for camping and the myriad of *highly* geeky events I frequent that demand oodles of gear (sci-fi conventions, Ren faires, etc).

I have a 11 and 6 year old girls. The clubman is a perfect fit for them. Plenty of legroom for them and they actually can sleep better back there during roadtrip's. I love my clubbie and cannot think of ever going back to the hatchback Mini.

We got the Clubman because of our 7 year old and her super long legs. Both rasputinj (6'2) and I (5'7) both fit comfortably in the back of the Clubman...wouldn't want to ride non-stop across the country in it, but I don't drive cross country anyway!!

Three reasons:

1. German Shepherd
2. I like the barn doors versus the hatch
3. Better access to the back seats.

Got it directly from her at Poochstyle.com

Fabulous customer service! I actually have since also purchased the extra side panels that suction cup to the back windows. You can get the cargo mat with the side panels, or without.

I need to take a new pic of the babies to show the side panels.
