Buggies (travel ones and non travel ones)

Okay please help me out as I have got really confused looking at travel buggies. Is there a good parent facing pram that reclines, so I can use with my baby who is going to be 5 months old when we travel?
(I have looked into Joolz Aer Plus but it's ONLY world facing and Bugaboo butterfly which is also only world facing, so I think I need a parent facing one)
Do I need a parent facing one? Is there one that does both?
My baby is now 5 months old and they are at the stage of not liking the bassinet anymore, but I am not brave enough to go straight to the world facing options! I need to be able to see her!
I will be away for 1 month travelling so it's not a short amount of time, so I need something that works for me.
Was thinking of getting the bugaboo dragonfly and just take it with me in Greece. What are your thoughts?

No, it’s not a thing.

if you want forward facing you will need a double component pram, get an XL buggy bag and put it in the hold

I had to do this when DC was small

every convenient travel or folding buggy is forward facing

Baby jogger city mini, I would choose this every time. Large, so lots of room for child to grow. Solid and can fold down one handed. We have traveled with it, it was super easy to get around with. Really easy and is great when you need to have somewhere for them to sleep.

You might want to look at the Cybex Eezy S Twist (there’s a ‘plus’ version with larger wheels for rougher terrain, would recommend). The seat spins so you can choose for baby to be world facing or parent facing. However the trade off is it’s not cheap (£400-odd quid), and the seat/weight limit isn’t as generous as on other travel prams.

I was also slightly obsessed with DD being parent facing when I was buying our travel pram when she was about two months old. In the end I got the above pram but the non-twist version. DD was happy as Larry, loved looking around her once she got to 5-6mos. It’s a real workhorse, still up at my parents for them to use with the grandkids.

Does anyone know of a good day to day buggy for an almost 3 year old? He’s quite tall
