Parent facing buggy??

12 replies

iloveyankeecandle · 30/01/2022 07:16

I've got a ten month old and im looking to get rid of my travel system.
I need a buggy/pushchair that will easily
Fold in one to fit in my car which has a small
Boot. Ideally I want a pushchair which can be parent and world facing but im unsure if such a thing exists which would then fold in one?

The Bugaboo Bee folds in ones and can parent face. It's still fairly big folded though. We use it as our main buggy (as it parent faces and drives well) and have a parent-facing only Joie Pact for holidays and trips to London as it is super light and folds tiny. We got our Bee second-hand on Ebay for less than half price and used it from birth with both kids.

I think the Bugaboo Ant parent faces and that folds to cabin baggage size.

Joie Chrome does I think. Also some of the maxi Cosi ones and cybex balios s lux.

I would just get an umbrella buggy at that age, cheap, folds small and they like to see where they are going

We have a maxi cosi lila sp which parent faces and folds down very small, it’s easy to fold as well.

The ant is soooo fiddly to fold and really flimsy.

Not all of them. My ds cried unless he could see me until he was at least 18 months.

Bugaboo Bee. Bought mine when DD was 1 and I went back to work as our travel system was a faff to fold. DD is now 3.5 (and tall) and still happy in it when needed. We’ve mostly used it world facing but I liked the option of being able to change it.

I've got a whoosh but it feels quite flimsy and I just wanted the option to look at him. He feels too small to not face me.

I have been doing this research.
Babystyle oyster 2/3
Bugaboo bee
Joie chrome
Mamas and papas ocarro/strada/airo
Cybex balios and the spin one
Nuna mixx
Cosatto giggle and flip

Lots of the first 2 on fb (near me anyway) or the joie chrome is 200 new.

I like to see my babe too 🤷‍♀️

@TheSnowQueen aah thank you so much for that!! I'll have a look. He just seems too little still to not see me. (Really I just want to see him)

No problem. Someone else might as well benefit from my scrolling. FWIW i've just bought the Oyster 3 second hand and it's great. Nuna Mixx is lovely too if money less of an object.
