Pushchairs

Parent facing, travel-friendly, folds small, cheap...?

Hi, I am looking for a pushchair that is parent facing, folds small enough to fit in our car (not much space available as we have 4 Dcs!) and could be taken on an aeroplane. It also needs to be fairly supportive as dd2 (8 months) has low muscle tone and is not yet sitting on her own. It would be a second pushchair - we also have a borrowed bugaboo chameleon which is very stiff to fold and doesn't fit in the car - and as it's not ours we can't risk putting it in an aeroplane hold! And finally, our budget is pretty tight, I'm happy to buy second hand but need to keep it at less than £200. Is this an impossible task? !?

Petite Star Zia? We're getting one for dd. If you google I'm sure there's a discount code for this website as well.

Thanks for your replies - I hadn't looked at any of these so that's a good start! I really like the Zia, but it doesn't seem to have a parent facing option, unless I'm missing something?

Hi, I just received my babystyle oyster gem in grape, and I love it its parent facing it only costs £205 and its compact! you can also buy a bigger seat that's roomier.the colours great too! My little girl also has low toned muscles she's almost 2 and cannot walk or crawl yet so I use my pushchair a lot! Hope this helps :) x

The Gem would be a really good choice TBH.
