I really love my BBP, except for the continuing problem of the shimmying wheels. Aaargh!!! I'm intending to return the BPP after xmas (having exhausted all suggestions from bugaboo) but if the next one also has the same issues or I end up having to get a refund, what other buggy can I get which is similar? It needs to be forward/backward facing, easily collapsed, and able to fit in the boot of a vw polo 2007 model (so no giant wheels). Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

Easywalker June, due to be released early next year.

ICandy Peach or Cherry. Would the Uppababy Vista fit or is it too long?

The easywalker june looks great, though not sure if I can wait until feb/march. I did try the icandy but it wouldn't go in the boot unless I removed the wheels, which frankly is a faff to far for me

I think you'll struggle to find a good rear facing pushchair with such an easy and small fold as the Bee.

Have you considered a BabyStyle oyster? It can fold very small, but the best fold is with the seat forward facing and removing the bumper bar. This is the way they show it in any pulicised pictures, like here. you could also put it in in two pieces. It will fold with the seat rear facing but it may be too long for your boot. Worth looking at though. Xmas Smile

IIRC iCandys have to fold in two pieces too.

I often think I really should upload some real photos of my oyster sometime (maybe to best buggy? Xmas Wink) because I think the pictures available are misleading, and I bet most people using one would often have it parent facing so they should show pictures folded that way. I've googled but I can't find any at all.

BB would love all or any photos :)

You should do a review too.Xmas Wink I keep meaning to review all the ones I've had for BB. I need to be thinking about while I'm a PC though.

SEcond the oyster i have it and love it, as yet have never actually folded it with the seat on i find it easier to clip seat off and pop that in boot then fold chassis.
Does it actually fold parent facing, may have a go.

God if i were to review all the prams ive had, id get repetitive strain Xmas Grin altough it first thing i do if about to purchase a new one lol

Must add i initialy bought the oyster plush and hated it, bulky air tyers and the material was the kind that would pull sooo easy on and the chrome seemed to scratch way to easy, i got ris after 8 wk.
