Advice on 3 wheeler

I need some advice on finding a buggy for my 3 year old (walks but also regularly uses buggy board) and 6 month old.
I have a Phil and Ted sport which is quite old (second hand 3 years ago) which I just can't get on with. My DH loves it but I find it heavy, hard to steer, useless on any slope and if tyres remotely soft. Also if I remember correctly uncomfortable with buggy board (haven't used it since 3 year old was baby with DD1).
Currently using a Micralite Toro which was hand me down which I also don't like. Front wheels wider than back means I bump into stuff (!), useless with buggy board has made my back ache from leaning over (we were given handle bar extenders but missing a piece) and can't cope with terrain.
I need a 3 wheeler that can cope with mixed terrain (pavements, unpaved roads with lots of stones, grass etc), as light weight as possible (lots of hills), is comfortable with a buggy board so standing inside the handle I guess (have a lascal mini) and reasonably compact for boot/hallway. Ideally it would parent face too but know this is unlikely.
So far thinking mountain buggy swift or urban jungle (expensive so second hand)!or nipper 360. Have discounted baby jogger as believe it's uncomfortable using the buggy board. Any advice/experience appreciated and maybe someone can explain why I hate the P and T but DH loves it!
