Lightweight everyday buggy?

Any suggestions for a lightweight everyday buggy which isn’t a Babyzen Yoyo?

Am looking for a pushchair to use on a daily basis for our 7 month old as our Armadillo Flip is just too difficult to push - I’ve got carpal tunnel syndrome and problems with my hips so need something more lightweight.

The essentials are that it folds down small (we have a small car boot), is easy to push, has a good recline for pushchair naps, and is comfortable for babies and toddlers (this is our last baby but I’d want it to last until around 3 years).

In an ideal world, I’d like parent and world facing (this seems to be an ask), not flimsy-feeling, has a reasonable sized and accessible basket, and for it to be able to handle something other than pavements.

I’m looking at Bugaboo Bee (second-hand), Mountain Buggy Nano, BabyJogger City Mini, BabyJogger City Tour, and also Joie Pact, which looks promising. Are there any from this list you’d recommend or advise against? Anything obvious I’m missing?

I’d got a Bee and love it. DD is a tall just turned 2 year old and is really comfy in it. Easy to push and the adjustable height handle makes it easier (I also have hip issues - I’ve found with other strollers that my hips hurt if the handle isn’t the right height). Other things I love about it are that it lays completely flat for naps, and also sits bolt upright - I hate pushchairs where the baby looks like they’re slumped.

I haven’t used parent facing much but it is easy to change it and it can fold in parent facing mode. The basket is reasonable for a more lightweight pushchair too - easily fits a normal sized changing bag plus a few extras.

Thank you - that’s good to know about the Bee, it seems to do everything I want, but would definitely have to be second-hand!

Does anyone else have one of the above buggies and, if so, would you recommend it?

Silver cross pop. Some colours are cheaper than others. It is really good easy to push fold and very strong.

Uppababy minu. Collapses one handed in one piece, bought to replace bulky travel system but still handles rocky terrain well. very happy with it.

We have a Bee but the rear axle split which was probably my fault for bumping it up too many kerbs but I wouldn’t get another.

Bugaboo Bee - it's great. I picked up a second hand one from Pramsy. You can get the Bee to come with a carrycot as well if you need it
