Does this exist?

Im looking for an umbrella stroller (lightweight - pref under 15 lbs, small fold) that is parent-facing. We have a stroller now that is parent-facing and love it! But its huge and takes up almost all the space in the back of my SUV. And I have to take it apart to fold it. 

Any recs? I havent had any luck searching on my own...

hmm, I have never seen an umbrella stroller that parent faces.  However,  if your ticker is right and your LO is already 9 months, pretty soon she/he will probably be happier facing out!

Mine is slightly bigger than a true umbrella, but folds flat and is really lightweight. If you get the adaptor, it can parent face. I have a Phil and Ted's Smart.

The new Baby Jogger City Versa does all that.  It has the option to parent face, folds flat with the seat attached and is lightweight.

Here is a pretty good review of it.

In addition the the Versa (8.5" x 33" fold, 24 pounds), there is the Bumbleride Flyer.

It is 19 pounds and umbrella stroller style, kind of. Folds to 12" x 35"

OK... any more suggestions? Unfortunately none of the ones suggested are umbrella strollers.  I think I might just get the Chicco Liteway and forgo the parent-facing.

There aren't any in north America, at least not a true umbrella. Anything that come parent face will be in the light weight category like the pp's suggestions. And thanks little Apple, I'd forgotten about the Versa.

The Chicco Liteway  (28 x 19 x 40 inches ; 17 pounds) is basically the same size as the Bumbleride Flyer (30 x 21 x 40 inches; 19 pounds). But the Flyer has a parent facing option. It is a "umbrella/light weight stroller." You could easily find one for cheaper if you really want parent facing as an option.

we looked at the Bumbleride Flyer when we got the stroller we have. But again, its not a small fold, and its more than twice the price of the Liteway. The Bumbleride Flite is an option too - more expensive, but lighter weight. 

And I didnt think what Im looking for exists in North America. I see there's a new one in Europe - the NJOY something, but no luck here yet. I was hoping I was wrong, tho!
