Hi does anyone know of a good rear facing buggy, that's light weight and folds in one unit.

Bugaboo Bee. You can flip the seat round when they are bigger too (although my DD is still rear facing at 2.5 as I like to chat to her!)

Icandy raspberry

Or there's a cheapy joie one but I can't remember the model

Yes my
Little girl is 1 1/2 and she loves rear facing. I personally think is so much better to chat and see how they are too. I will have a look At those two, I have a Quinny mood at the moment but it's too heavy and takes up too much room when travelling.

Thanks ladies.

Like the bugaboo bee as you can fold it in rear face. Pricey though... Do you know the weight of this as can't see it on any sites?

Can't see that they candy does this?

We have an i candy raspberry and it's great. Cheaper than the bee but we're in the euro zone so I can't help you with specifics, but I think ours was about 40% cheaper than the bee.

We have a cameleon as well and I just wanted a lighter, foldable buggy that wasn't an umbrella type so I could still see DS, so the raspberry is perfect.

Sorry, meant to say it does fold rear-facing.

Bugaboo Bee is 8,7 kg / 19,2 lbs

Raspberry can be folded facing either way

Agreed the Bee is expensive although you can pick them up second hand for more reasonable prices. I wouldn't necessarily compare kg of buggies if what you're really interested in is how they are to push - my Maclaren Quest is much lighter than my Bee I think in kg but the Bee is WAY easier to push!

Mamas and papas armadillo flip (or the xt version) folds very small and is light. Folds both ways etc.

BabyJogger Vue is very light, folds in one piece (umbrella fold) and faces both ways. The shopping basket is pretty tiny and inaccessible though.
