Parent facing, one piece fold - help! (Please!)

We're off on holiday in a few weeks so I'm on the hunt for a secondhand holiday buggy. DS is 3 months old. When DD was a similar age, we bought a Loola for holidays but I'm guessing there's more/different types available now.

The only problem is, I'm not really sure what brands to look for on eBay - my 2 non-negotiable requirements are: parent facing and folds in one piece (without removal of seat unit). The first requirement is pretty easy to find out but manufacturers seem to hide the second (for example my old style iCandy apple has to be taken apart and it's a pain for travelling).

I'm not too fussed about weight but don't want to pay a fortune - would pay a bit more for sturdiness/ off-road capability because that gets used more at home.

So, are there any other brands, as well as Loola, that I should search for on eBay?

The iCandy strawberry is a one piece one step fold and is parent facing, but at 3 months ds would still need to be in the carrycot. It's also still pretty pricey second hand and although compact when in use bulky folded.

We have it for our main pushchair and it is great. When we went on holiday when ds was 3 months we sacrificed the parent facing option for that short period and bought a second hand baby jogger city mini for convenience.

I've not seen anything to beat the Loola for the functionality you get for the second hand price. I think it's a great pushchair :)

Why does your apple need to be taken apart to fold? I must have had one of the first ones off the production line and it folded with the seat either way.
