Help me find rear facing pushchair to push one handed

I am going slightly mad surfing the internet trying to find the perfect buggy for DD3 (age 4 months). I really want rear facing and it needs to be light as it will be going in and out of car. It needs to push one handed as I want to hold DD1's hand on school run plus it needs to take a buggy board for ds age 2! Hours of research keep leading me back to the bugaboo but I am a bit horrified at the price. But if it would fit the brief then I might be able to persuade DH. I currently have baby in an ergo sling and use a maclaren XT for DS but my back isn't great and DS really wants to walk more.

Can anyone help or offer any other suggestions?

Thinking of selling my Bugaboo Cam, with footmuff, buggyboard, spare frame, parasol.

I steer it one-handed with DD1 on BBoard.

So might not be such a stretch.....

what about the Silver X freeway?

hiya,the seat unit has to be taken off to fold it (you can do it one handed its just one button to press and lift it off)
the seat unit doesnt lie flat,it does say from birth though,i used it for my newborn and he was cosy and comfy in it,

a teutonia? i have the spirit s3 which is great to push. the 4 wheel versions are smaller and can take a teutonia buggy board-(not the spirit s3). it can be folded for the car in 1 piece and the seat sits really upright for toddlers/nosey babies!

So many to go and play with if onlt I could find somwhere that stocks them all....

Teutonia looks good. Had been looking at Silver cross freeway but thought it looked heavy.

I'm used to proper prams and have big emmaljunga pram which is fab but not great for using in the car as it one of the heavier ones.

Niggle Wiggle - I might be interested in buying it if you know how much you want for it - what colour is is?

Off ot bed now to dream of pushchairs!

It is red. I've taken lots of pics but haven't uploaded them yet.

I'm looking for £425 for full set-
That's all the standard bits plus
Bugaboo footmuff
Bugaboo parasol
Spare seat frame
Buggyboard (minus clips)

But would be willing to sell separate bits.

Where are you? I'm in Leeds if you wanted to take a look.

I have a bee for my 5 1/2 month old and it fits the 2009 model of the lascal maxi buggy board for my toddler. Great thing about it is it's v easy to steer one handed, buggy board is close so don't trip on it, and baby sleeps v well under the large hood!

Unfortunately my toddler constantly dives off the board onto the baby to give her kisses and cuddles - even when she's sleeping (I have it rear facing). Toddler also gets tired and wants to sit down/ be carried which doesn't work!

I'm used to my Phil & Ted's vibe which I bought this to replace so find the bee a bit difficult to push around due to the little wheels. I love my vibe but needed a rear facing one that I could push one handed as toddler often wants to walk.

Definitely agree there is no perfect pushchair!!! Would now think the best would be a bugaboo chameleon with board and twoo seat on it... Though I do like the way the bee almost lies flat instead of a bucket style seat.
