Anything like a Bee, but cheaper?

I have an MBU but it's not all that practical when I have to go into London. I can't really afford to splash out on a bee (although I'd love one). Is there anything similar? Smallish and rearfacing?

TIA

Also if you aren't tall try the bebe confort streety (maxi cosi brand as well) that is as compact as the bee and faces eithe way and one piece fold. the only downside is the handlebar isn;t adjustable.

We're tall sadly. I've pushed a friend's streety so ruled it out.

I considered urbo until I read reviews. Couldn't find a good one. Plenty of DO NOT BUY THIS BUGGY ones tho!
Tho I confess to being a mamas and papas hater.
Bee is perfectly upright enough, exactly same as a maclaren, baby jogger and any other stroller.

Bee Plus seat is very upright almost a full 90 degrees if not 90 degrees...Don't have mine anymore to check.

agree that bee+ very much more upright than bee in rf. Streety crap imo pushes horribly really heavy to handle up /down kerbs would be a nightmare in london i reckkon.

Shame that Zapp doesn't sit up enough rf or fold one piece as i did consider this as well.
