Default Any Mutsy Evo owners? - Update #12

I've fallen hard for the Mutsy Evo, it looks to have everything I wanted in a stroller, but there is one small issue that may be a deal-breaker. I'm hoping someone can chime in and help me out as there doesn't seem to be a ton of information available on it.

Can it be folded with the seat in parent-facing mode? It's perfectly okay with me if it's a little bigger or messier that way, just that it will do it. A normal day out and about with us involves alot of in and out of the car and I'm sick to death of the two-piece fold on the stroller I currently have.

TIA!

Is there a master list of strollers that will fold in parent-facing mode?

I think the number of strollers that will fold with the seat in any direction is very few. The bee and the forthcoming Versa are the only ones I can think of. Oh and the Queen B -- although the fold is huge either way. Technically, you can fold the Vista that way if you recline the seat but it's very bulky & not intended to fold with the seat reversed. My FY Indigo was like that too so I imagine a lot of reversibles can, but I think it's easier to just pop the seat off.

The mamas and papas mylo also folds either direction.

I found a thread where she said she didn't think so, but that left just a sliver of hope, lol.

That would be nice.

That's where everyone's different as I feel like I'm reassembling the silly thing every time i want to use it.

The iCandy Strawberry does as well, but it isn't available here in the U.S.

Ha, I got the bee partially because of the fold in either direction intending to use it mostly for DD but at least half the time I'm switching it because DS2 is obsessed with it and insists on riding. And it's by far the most finicky switching one I've used. Still worth it though.

The BebeConfort (Maxi Cosi) Loola folds with the seat facing either way- just throwing that out there

You can also fold the Uppa Cruz either direction, but it's much bulkier when folded parent-facing. In a vehicle with lots of cargo space, it probably wouldn't matter, but I have to fold it facing out to fit in our SUV. However, it seriously takes about 5 seconds to flip the seat. It's sooo easy.
