Parent facing pushchairs

I'm trying to find a good pushchair that has the option to be parent facing. I've been using the icandy strawberry for the last 9 months but one of the hinges now isn't locking when I unfold it (it has a few other faults but I've been able to live with them as they haven't made the pram unsafe).
I bought the bugaboo bee5 but it's no good as in parent facing mode the seat drags on the ground when I fold it. Also the basket at the bottom drags on the ground when folded which isn't ideal as I live in the countryside so it can be quite muddy.

I'm finding it quite difficult to find a pushchair that has the option to be parent facing. It'd need to fit in the boot of a Ford Fiesta as that's where I'd store it when not in use (I have a tiny house). Lightweight would be good and not massively expensive but I'm willing to spend the money if it's a really good pram that would last.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance 😊

See if you can get an armadillo flip. You’d have to go second hand as I don’t think they make them anymore but honestly after 4 babies and dozens of prams/buggies this is the best I’ve used.

Ah thanks EvilDog that one looks perfect, I wish they still made it. I'll keep a look out for a good second hand one if I don't find another one in the mean time. I don't understand why there aren't more parent facing pushchairs out there!

Have you looked at the Cybex Balios, that can be forward or parent facing & folds up quite small.
