Compact fold parent facing??

I'm looking for a compact fold (but not necessarily umbrella) pushchair that can parent or outward face and recline flat(ish). I've come across the Quinny Zapp Xtra and the Petite Star Bubble Njoy - does anyone have experience of either of these? Or can you recommend something else?

Thanks :)

Babystyle oyster gem, baby elegance sketch (I've had one of these under a different name and although the fold isn't tiny it's really quite flat and easy to handle, plus it folds with the seat on parent facing). Bugaboo bee obviously. The joie mirus has a flip handle but then when parent facing steering is odd.

Ooh loads to check out!! Thanks Smile basically I'm wanting something I can fit in my cargo trike with 6mo and 3yo so fold needs to be neat. Got a baby jogger now DD is out of the carry cot but really missing looking at her!

So a flat fairly wide fold works if the bjcm fits? Hmmm. The oyster gem is small but the parent facing seat is a bit bulky. I'm not sure what the zapp is like to be honest. Do you need it all to fold in one piece?

Preferably but not necessarily an essential feature! The BJCM is great but takes up half the trike if we take it with us.

Baby zen yoyo for size, but doesn't parent face after 6 months

I have a Streety Plus which does both parent and front facing and goes flat. I really like it. Folds compact and you can do it one handed.

The Plus version is more sturdy than the original streety and the handle is higher too which I find better for pushing.

Ihateparties what was the different name for your Baby Elegance Sketch - I'm finding it hard to find many!

I got it from Spain, it was branded Be Cool and the model was Vision. It's identical to the Sketch though.
