Help me pick a pushchair!

I have a large silver cross pram travel system I currently use for my 7 month old. It worked well for my first child who is now 3.5. This time round I am finding it so heavy! I struggle getting it in and out of the boot. It’s heavy to push with her and my son on his buggy board. It doesn’t collapse with one hand so it’s a faff.

We have a Joolz Aer light compact stroller which was ideal for when my son turned 2.5 for quickly nipping around but I feel it’s not sturdy and padded enough for my little 7 month old and it doesn’t parent face. What do I do? Should I invest in a third pram? I have a small budget (under £350) and I’m looking for something

Parent and world facing
Suitable for 7 month old
Very easy to collapse
Lighter but sturdy and robust enough for a baby plus a 3 year old on a buggy board
Aesthetic pleasing

Does this even exist? Lifting the heavy silver cross in and out the car boot on the school run is exhausting!

We have a Cybex Eezy twist which can parent and world face and folds down. It's not as light as a yoyo but lighter than a standard buggy. Bought it when my son was 4 months as went away with him and wanted something parent facing. Still using it now he's 3.

Thank you @Poobs2022 - this looks exactly what I had in mind! It's hard because we live in the countryside so I do like the occasional country walk and was talked into a big robust pram for that reason... but definitely need something lighter!! Would you say it's robust enough to have a buggy board on the back?

Oyster Zero ticks most of your boxes except for parent facing. Absolutely loved mine, used it every day from 16 months to 3.5 years
