Parent facing stroller that folds with seat attached to frame

Does anyone know if the above exists?

Currently have an iCandy and taking the seat off to fold every time is a lot of effort and it is also not great for storage.

I'm aware the Bee and Oyster fold in parent facing mode but I'm looking for more of a stroller, up to about £200 as DD2 is 10mo so will only be using buggy for another year or so.

Thank you.

I was going to say the Bee. We had ours from birth, bought it second hand for £250 (it was lightly used, a year old) and it's been marvellous. Folds small enough to keep in the hall cupboard for occasional outings now she's 2. Try gumtree.

the loola is good and folds rear facing (not as small as it folds forward facing but still good)

Thank you, I have not heard of the Loola - off to Google!

I have heard very good things about the Bee, would consider buying one second hand If I can not find anything else suitable.

Also in my criteria is easy one handed steering as will be holding DD1's hand.

The Bee is your badger. Steers so easily. BUT only good in the city, the wheels are too small for anything rough.

Treat it nicely and you could sell it for half what you paid.

We do a lot of farm trips and county walks so I think that rules the Bee out then, but thanks for your advice Flowers.

I've just looked up the Loola and it looks perfect... Exactly what I am looking for, and on offer in Argos Smile.

The loola won't be any better than the bee for country walks etc imo. Probably worse due to poorer suspension.

I've got Jane trider, it's 3 wheel all terrain and parent or forward facing and folds with seat in place or without. It's big though!

The Armadillo Flip is another option!

I've got ICandy Raspberry which folds with the seat on and is parent facing, agree that sometimes it's a hassle to fold Peach with the seat off but it probably fits better in the boot than anything else I've used!

Read the reviews on loolas. They're very heavy and can't go up curbs.

Our Loola managed forest walks (on paths) and local farms well.

The Loola Up has a bar between the 2 handles to make 1 handed pushing easier.

The armadillo flip folds both way,0. It is a one hand fold.
But dont think it is great on uneven surfaces.

Our Bee handles country parks etc fine.
