Hahaha Anything overnight with a baby (especially if less than at least 5 days not including travel) always feels like a giant waste of time/energy/money/patience/etc. The amount of crap you have to take with you cannot be overstated.
I preferred to barely leave my back yard unless on foot.
That said, I'm not the only one in my family and so I've done trips like this a lot. The only way I've managed to make it reasonable is with a roof cargo box and a Tiguan.

In two minds about estate vs hatchback again. I've been offered a 2014 Golf by a relative which is I guess preferable to hacking around used car garages for an estate.
For the most part it would be used for trips to the supermarket and driving a couple of hours to my parents, so a hatchback is more practical day-to-day I suppose. But I have this vision of going on longer trips too - i.e. Scotland or into France. Those who have successfully done this with 2 adults and a baby, their stuff, plus a bike (on the back I guess), in a hatchback, how much of a pain was it?
