Narrowest carrycot pram??

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone can help - I'm racking my brains trying to think of some really narrow prams that take carrycots (or I suppose alternatively have a lie flat rear facing seat like the bee). Doesn't have to rear face beyond carrycot stage. So far I've got:
I'Coo Primo - 47cm
Hauck turbo 11 - 48cm
Hauck Malibu - 54cm
Bugaboo bee - 52.5cm
A lot of stuff comes in at the 55/56cm mark, Oyster, streety, various jane buggies etc. however I'm ideally looking for narrower than this if it exists. Ideas greatly appreciated as off the current list the bee is over budget and the other 3 I have no great faith in the brand.

Thank you!

You could always put a soft carrycot (Graco, Petite Star Zia, Phil and Teds cocoon, etc.) onto a lie flat stroller. For example, the Chicco LiteWay is a decent stroller and is only 46cm wide. You will usually find D rings on the seat of the pushchair where the harness meets the seat at the hips. The Graco soft carrycot (and probably the others but I haven't had them) has clips at hip level to connect them to the seat.

The OBaby Atlas is only 35cm wide! I don't know if the seat will be wide enough to take a soft cot, but they're normally about 30cm wide I think.

why does it need to be so narrow?

surely if the carrycot is really narrow a baby won't fit in it very long or will be really squished?

Thanks for the suggestions!
I just love narrow generally but mainly it's a car boot issue.I didn't add the 'I'd really love a single/linked handle' part because that makes it nigh on impossible.
Currently have a babyhome emotion xtreet which is staying for the longer term but it doesn't lie flat. Dropping the Graco or Petite Star soft cot onto something is a definite option.
