Bugaboo cameleon or something else?

My dd is now 8 weeks old. I have the city mini gt which I love, but I am finding it too heavy to lift in and out of the car. I am therefore looking for a second pushchair. I will keep the gt for trips without the car and on holiday.

The second pushchair needs to be lighter, have a parent facing option and be able to cope with slightly rough terrain, for instance, gravel paths. I thought about the bee but with the seat attached it is still quite heavy for me and removing the seat unit to get it in the car seems cumbersome. I wondered whether the cameleon might work because it is a 2 piece fold and therefore not as heavy. Does anyone have any thoughts/ alternative suggestions?

I have looked at the uppababby cruz but the handle is too high.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hmmm...something parent facing which is lighter than the GT.
The Baby Elegance Sketch is super light and parent faces.
The Babyzen YoYo has a lovely baby nest which parent faces.
Neither of those have the wheels you want, although they are no worse than the Bee.
The Graco Evo is really light. There is the Baby Jogger Vue which would probably do what you want?
I think if you are finding the GT too heavy to lift, then you won't be much better off with a Cam. Its easier to fling the GT out of the car than deal with the two pieces of the Cam.

The cam is a beast compared to a bjgt!

If the Bee's too heavy then I doubt the Cam will work. The wheels and frame bit are relatively heavy, they aren't half the weight of the total pram/buggy. I love mine but I would never say it was light.
