We hadn't planned to do this and had a fair bit of our own stuff, but in the end we COMPLETELY filled the cabin as well as the boot and got all his stuff in - apart from the contents of 2 "bean bags" that we emptied into a large bin.
We ended up inching the electric windows up and slowly feeding ever-smaller items in (to him sitting in the back) until it was literally full to the roof. Both him and my wife had loads of stuff on their laps too.

I remember him asking - won't all this stuff slow us down rather on the way home!
