What pushchair would you use?

Atm ds 3 is on a buggy board and dd is in our bugaboo, but when dd2 arrives in march I really don't know what to do.

DD will be 18 months and she is very mobile and really doesn't like to go in the pushchair so I was considering getting one of these for dd and keeping the pushchair...... but then if she fall's asleep when we are out I am screwed.

This also means that ds won't have anywhere to stand/sit and if we are walking for a long time, which we do quite alot he will get tired and start to moan....

The other option is sell the bugaboo and buy maybe one of these

Dp doesn't want to spend another £600 on a phil and teds or other double.

I do have a sling that I will be using alot aswell but the bugaboo will be set up as a carrycot style so even if dd2 was in the sling ds or dd1 couldn't go in iyswim.

I had a 3 yo, 22mo and a newborn.

I had a simple Maclaren lie flat buggy, a buggy board and a sling (later a backpack). Either dd1 (3) or ds went in the buggy, with the other one walking or on the board. Dd2 went everywhere in the sling to begin with.

My buggy was (iirc) £75 and had already done 2 children, but it was fine with a new cosytoes thing.

I'm cheap, I know! But we went out like this every day and never had any problems.

mine were a similar age gap to weegiemum's and i just used a tandem buggy that id bought when dd was born. i was very lucky that ds1 wanted to walk alot but not too far, and if i was on my own, i balanced him on the handle bar of the buggy with him holding onto me (bit of a palaver but it worked!)
if we were out for the day (and i had someone with me), and gonna be doing a lot of walking i had another single buggy for ds1.
