Pushchairs
Can anyone recommend a light, rear facing pushchair that is easy to fold and fits in the boot?

I have just bought the Hauck Infinity but the only thing I like about it is that it can be rear facing. Its really heavy, impossible to store anywhere and really faffy having to take the seat off and the fold the chassis down - I'm used to the Mamas and Papas Pliko Pramette!
Does anyone have a rear facing pushchair which folds down all in one, can get around shops and put in the boot?

chicco 4 me. folds in one piece front or rear facing, similar size to the pliko.

Pliko switch. It is a bit heavier but not a lot, I've bought one just to leave in the car as I want RF for longer than the prammette and without the hassle of taking the bugaboo cam apart.
I had a bugaboo bee before and I toying with getting one again (for the car) so the switch might be up for sale soon

loolas fold easily, in one piece parent or forward facing and are pretty compact too.

carrie Which is lighter to push - the bee or the pliko switch? Oh and which is better for getting up kerbs cos I know in a lot of rear facers it can be quite difficult.

Loola Up is easy to fold (as in folds with seat unit on both ways) but does take 2 hands.
It fits in all boots I have tried it in with seat on, but you can take the seat off if space is short.

Bee (from memory of the last one as new one not here yet) much easier mainly due to the single handle bar though I would say. Pliko switch I find easier to steer than the standard pliko though it is a tiny bit heavier. Not that you notice the weight but I found switch easier than normal pliko.

carrie Is the bee still easier than switch when using 2 hands?
