Buggies? Double with pod-triple or what? ADVICE on this! x

Hi! I am in a really 'stuck' situation as too what buggy i should be buying next?
I have my 2yr old who is mostly happy to walk on my 3 work days so i had been using a Phil&Teds with a buggy pod on the side

But i hate it!-i feel like a circus act when out and about! And also even though i rotate all the children, somehow i can't help but feel sorry for the one who gets the 'pod!'

So..... I bought a 'lotsofbabies' twin-triple and find it a waste as not really using it in triple mode?? Although the idea is fantsatic and it would be ideal if son wanted to sleep when we are out (which is rare!)

So i would like some advice on the URBAN DETOUR as have heard it is useful to use the footpart as an occasional seat (obviously for my son not the babies i childmind!)
And also are they easy to steer etc??? Does anyone have one and can let me know what they are like etc for this purpose?? xxx

Any help would be appreciated! xx

I had an urban detour and it's by far the best double I've used! I had to sell it when I moved because it wouldn't fit through my front door. Also, I had to drag it up 2 flights of stairs so I changed to a phil and teds. I have attached a buggyboard to the back which is fine for occasional use but don't think I'd like to do this everyday as it hurts my back after a while. You can also attach a kiddy board to the urban detour. On occasion, I put my ds on the hood of the UD and he looked quite comfy on there!!

I'm hoping when I move again that I can fit the UD through the door and get a new one!!!

I had the marco sky but it didn't fit in my car-it was too long!
And again also had a seat to go with that but at the time my lil man was too young-think i am heading down the urban detour route-or just my p&t and my lil man walk (as he is quite happy too!)

Anyone need a lots of babies triple to twin as i might sell??????

I have a urban detour and think it's absolutley fab. I have used the footpart occasional for my DS who was 2-3 at the time and found he squashed the legs of the ones sat in the buggy.

It's brill to use, even when holding DS hand. The only thing I do have probs with it's quite heavy when loading into the car but that's the only downside I have to it.

I bought my as a new seconds from a brill shop in Bournemouth.
