Rear facing Buggy - Help me find it?

I have a baby with special needs and I need a pushchair that ticks specific boxes.... It needs to be rear facing (this is very important because my baby is fed througha naso-gastric tube so I need to be able to see him at all times, he needs to be facing me), and also I need one that is very lightweight and easy to put up/down because I hope to be able to go out on my own with baby a bit more instead of having to rely on others to help.

I think I have found the ideal one...... in the argos clearance as well! so not only does it tick the boxes but it's a bargain price too! (and I have a budget of not much more than £100)

This is the one I found..........
Fisher price ITT Pushchair

And now the bad news........ I cannot find a store that stocks it! :(:cry:

I live in Birmingham but I would be prepared to travel if necessary.

Can anyone find a store that stocks it? I have typed in all the postcodes and towns I can think of but no luck so far.

    Thanks for trying Becks, I did have a look on ebay yesterday and couldn't find one but I'm going to keep looking. The only other one I've found that does what I want it to do is the Bugaboo Bee, and that's priced at a breathtaking £359 - stupid price for what's basically a buggy isn't it, I wish I didn't need it to be rear facing then I could probably get a lightweight one for about £25.

    I just checked locally to me (near newcastle) and no stock anywhere. I know you have found one now but maybe if you get stuck again try contacting fisher price and explain the situation, they may well be able to help you over the phone
