Pram that faces both ways and folds in one?

Does anyone have any recommendations for prams that can forward or parent face and also fold down in one piece?
I have a bugaboo chameleon 3 plus which is great, but I’m so sick of taking the top on and off! We mainly go out in the car as there’s not much round where I live.
Baby is 7 months now but wondering if I should just wait until he’s forward facing and get a fold down buggy. Going to get something second hand and my sister in law will borrow the bugaboo in September when she has her baby

You could swap to a bugaboo bee which is a single fold. Not quite as nice to push as the chameleon but much more compact when folded.

I like my bugaboo bee

We have and really get on with the Mamas and Papas, Armadillo Flip XT which ticks all of those boxes.

ICandy Orange, it has a huge shopping space underneath too.

Strike that. It's two pieces, I wasnt concentrating!

The joie versatrax does this but not many available second hand. It folding in one go and having a 22kg weight limit is why we chose it

Joie chrome can fold as one piece.

Tbf from 6 months baby is good to sit up and would probably love forward facing.
I got the silvercross reflex at 10 months and it is brill. Umbrella fold but feels sturdy.

Uppababy vista can fold in one piece and faces both ways.

Wtfdoipick · 13/03/2022 21:46

I had a Jane Rider, can face both ways and although you can take the seat off it will fold in one piece

Wingingitsince2018 · 13/03/2022 21:48

I would also recommend the joie litetrax for a sturdy forward facing buggy that has a one handed fold. Used it from 6m for DS1 and he can still fit in it now on rare occasions as a tall 3yo.

We have a bugaboo fox2 which folds all in one. Even with the bassinet attached (although it is bulky when you do this).

showmethegin · 13/03/2022 22:03

And also goes both ways

Greentomatoes21 · 13/03/2022 22:09

We have an oyster...whatever the latest one is. Can face both ways and folds down easily without taking the seat off

summerlovin94 · 13/03/2022 22:46

We have a Nuna Triv although the wheels aren't suitable for rougher terrain. The fold is amazing though!

Hello, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on

We are looking at the Joie Versatrax. Is it bulky when shopping etc or restaurants? It seems to be wider than others. X

We have a Bugaboo Bee for this and it's great.

We so have a cheap Joie one that only goes forward but folds tiny and is light to carry for holidays and days in London. It's not as nice to push as the Bee.

bogoblin · 20/06/2022 16:52

Icandy Lime faces both ways and is a one-piece fold as well, we love ours

Madmaxxy · 21/06/2022 10:05

We have a cybex easy s twist. Goes both ways, lies flat for naps, great hood coverage, and has a one handed fold. Love it.

Bugaboo bee or fox…
the latter is the same size as camaeleon, the bee is smaller

I’ve just started putting DD in a forward facing buggy from 7mo and she’s been fine.
