Any recommendations on a small barrow that also folds down quite small, I'm using a Mercedes e350 and with the seats folded down there's not much room after the bed chair goes in, won't need a big barrow I don't use a chair and I use a rucksack so it's only really a few buckets the bed and the rod bag, possibly a small food bag for longer trips

There was a tread on here at the end of April...".Looking for a new barrow."

Nash trax metro MK2 was recommended.
They are out of stock at present but expected circa 21st of the month according to The Tackle Box.
Cost is about £200 and they come with dedicated bags that would be in the region of £100 if purchased separately.
Looking at reviews, they fold down very small.
That's what I'd select if needing a new lightweight barrow.

My bro has a porterlite must be over 18 years.
Side by side with the mk2 it's main frame bed is about an inch and half shorter. But the front still extends.
It's an excellent carp barrow.

Fox explorer is a small compact barrow, id certainty try before you buy as I found the handles too low.

Similar position to you in terms of what i take.
I've got the Porterlite (having tried others mentioned) and for me with that amount of kit and car space , its what i will be sticking with.

Had a porterlite for years and passed onto to my bro when I upgraded to the fox explorer which is still compact
Both very good for the money...
Only thing on the porterlite was the handles an be a little flexi at times.
Plus the thinner wheel on both is better in mud as well!

If you can get the straight handles for the porterlite they are a great addition

You can just fit the handles 90 degrees round from where you usually would and that does the same thing without the extra expense

In the market for exactly the same thing and was looking at the Fox Explorer or the Porterlite.
Was also looking at the Fox Explorer Duluxe. Does anyone know if this still packs down small enough to fit easily in a hatchback boot?

Yes it does, I haven't got a picture but the explorer packs up really small.

Cheers! Is that true for the Explorer Duluxe as well, looks like it's a bit bigger with the front rack.

Have a look at the Porterlite as already mentioned 
The cygnet sniper barrow is a really compact barrow but still sturdy enough to accommodate for a full session.
I did sell mine and bought a explorer deluxe from fox and I must say I wish I had done it ages ago.
The front bar on the explorer deluxe can be undone and pushed back inside the frame so it can still pack down small enough to fit in smaller vehicles.
