How big? If you have kids and you plan on going grocery shopping and bringing the stroller with you then it would be a bad idea. The focus has a big hatch area but it can fill up quickly. Especially with weird shaped items like that.

I dont really grocery shopping i wouldnt bring the stroller if i did. So basically just need to know if the stroller will fit in back perhaps a bag or two thats about all that would be in there at the same time. thanks.

Pretty sure it would but I need to know what stroller. Just saying a big one doesn't help. I've had lots of strollers and one was huge, just needed a motor and turn signals lol. Can you take some measurements? That would help alot.

unless its a 4dr SVT, id say avoid it, you are going to hate life pretty fast when you have to juggle your baby while clambering into the back seat, and strapping him/her in. Alot of people have sold their SVTs for that reason.

As for fitting the stroller, you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in a focus hatch, but your best bet is to take the stroller down and test fit it first.

Oh crap I didn't even catch that, yeah if you don't have a 4 door then it's going to be no fun getting the kids in and out. Trust me on this one. I have 3 kids and while it's fun going for rides in the focus it is by no means a family car. Now I have a ZX5 SVT and the wife is very pleased due to it being more "family friendly".

Ok..

I know that a stroller will fit. The other accessories will fit to (diaper bag,etc.) My wife and I have twins. Their carseats fit just fine in a 3door hatch. Their double stroller fit even with my sub/box combo. The stroller that we used was one of those that accepted the car seats.

The plain answer is YES it will be fine...but you might have a whole in your tint( [limp])

dont get me wrong something bigger/ 4 doors is eaiser but the Focus will work
