Double buggy or buggy board for a three-year-old and newborn?

Our daughter will be just turned 3 when the new baby arrives. We live in London and don't have a car so we use a pushchair every single day at the moment (she is 2y9m). Is a double buggy necessary or would we be able to get away with only a buggy board?

She's not really a runner and holds our hands well, but she often says she's tired of walking and wants to sit. She's a slow walker and gets distracted easily. We also get public transport a lot and walk frequently.

Neither. A hoppie hammock.

Do you have one? They look amazing! But I have never seen anyone with one irl!

Wouldn't this mean you would need to have a hand free at all times to pull the scooter along?

We had a McLaren and put the strap round one wrist and could still use both hands on the buggy. This worked very well in a very hilly part of London.
