Roof boxes.

[swgti]

We've just found out there's a bambino on the way and having only had our 3dr gti a few months its deffo not going down the ''baby forces sale'' route! I've seen a few people on here use roof boxes so wanted some recommendations or tips and also wondered what effects on MPG etc one would have?

I use one. We've a two year old and there invaluable

I'm from devon but live in Ireland and use it 2 or 3 times a year

I use OEM roof bars and a Thule box, you can do it cheaper but i don't see the point. You get what you pay for

Obviously it does affect MPG. That was my (and probably everyones) main concern, but it's actually not that bad

I am buying the Thule range 90 I think?

Its a foldable one so it can be stuck in the cupboard when not needed.

loads of people had them when I went camping and half price on the 'bay!

I borrowed my dads Halfords box when moving to Germany, was a godsend!  The Thule ones are great quality.
