Compact fold buggy

Sure this has been done a million times before, but I thought I'd ask as too tired to go back through all the old threads due to non-sleeping baby!

I have a 14mo DD (11 mo corrected due to prematurity, but still only 16lb and in 3-6mo clothes). I also have a Bebeconfort Streety travel system which I love. However, it's a pig to fold quickly and is fairly bulky when folded.

I am looking for a buggy with:

  • recline (but not necessarily lie-flat as DD doesn't like to)
  • easy to push/steer
  • with sunshade/raincover preferably (although if separately available I'd cope)
  • folds compact and folds one-handed
  • which will last for ages with lots of walking (At least 10-15 miles a week)
  • doesn't break the bank


Any suggestions? I'm assuming an umbrella fold is the way to go, although maybe you can think of something else?

Thanks in advance

Micralite superlite

Baby Jogger City Mini

Both are really good prams, although if you're looking for something that folds quite small then maybe a Maclaren.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think the BJCM is winning at the moment! We saw one today and I fell in love with it. Just got to find one cheap now!

Sorry mama, I'm holding onto the Streety incase DC2 ever happens, as we have the carrycot and car seat for it.
