HELP!?! Best double + buggy board for childminding? Nipper or JANE?

Advice needed please! New to CM, need a double buggy asap as new mindee is starting soon.

I've done loads of research and have narrowed it down to a nipper 360 + kiddiboard or Jane + buggy board. I've ruled out P+T as apparently it's no good with a buggyboard.

Both mindee and DD2 are refuse daytime sleep in cot, prefering to sleep in buggy, so which is best for two sleeping children (2yrs + 9 months)

Our door is quite narrow and the school playground is always packed with parents, so Jane is more practical for that.

Can I use a Jane with buggy board or do I need to buy a special one?

Also, a brand new Jane is out of the question as too £££ DH says that if you buy second hand (ebay)you can't offset against tax?

I've used a buggyboard on a p&t. It's not very easy to push with it on though but for odd occasions was fine. I've also used the Jane with buggyboard which is easier.

I'm having a similar dilemma. My front door seems abnormally narrow and the gorgeous emmaljunga side by side I just bought is about an inch too wide and won't go through.

I'm now looking for a 2nd hand jane even though I'd much prefer a side by side.

Btw, you can still put a fair sized picnic in the under-basket of the jane!!
