Which sturdy pushchair?

[frustratedpants]

Right, imagine this senario
New born baby plus have 4-5yo school age autistic child, can walk but stubborn as a mule and no sence of danger
Don't want a side by side double as older child will at school for majority of the time. am also looking at doubles but that's another thread
So just need ideas for a sturdy pram and buggy board style way of transporting older one on school run (30min walk in buggy but only 5 roads to cross) and for town trips.
Have estate car so no size issues.

So, what ride-on seat, buggy board etc?

what buggys are sturdy enough to take larger child on board and still be manageable? And how do you get a sometimes uncooperate child to stay on buggy board?

I prefer like parent facing. Ideally take carrycot or carseat options.
Don't want a zia, zapp, jane 360, freeway, or streety. been there done that

So what options, If any, do I have?

From what you have said I would go for a baby jogger or a mountain buggy of some sort for the sturdiness/weight taking.. for the keeping child on buggyboard then something where they can be as trapped as possible but still comfortable within the handlebar. I don't know if this is possible with a newborn on board BJ or MB, it may depend on the model, whether you have a carrycot on etc. Somebody will know.

Oh also, maybe give easywalker a look as they do an air tyre buggyboard and 2nd hand prices are really good for the quality so I understand. There is a carrycot option but the seats don't parent face. Unless you can wait for the new June and they also come up with a buggyboard for that.

You do have options but I am not too sure on weight limits of buggyboards generally, I had a junior x rider (a sit down one) which took 20kgs... there might be something with a higher limit out there.

Look at a Mountain Buggy +One and a TFK Joggster Twist with fold away buddy seat with a Multi X carrycot to give you parent facing. If your eldest is light you could get away with a regular tandem eg B-Dual or Peach Blossom? I would suggest the first two are probably good options. The +One convert to a single once you have done the school run and the buddy seat folds away on the TFK.

Oh and look at the Micralite Twofold too...it's not out yet but it has lots of options including a built in buggy board. Also look at a Joovy Ultralight A there is a harness on the rear seat but there are compromises for the baby ie using a car seat for the first six months and then forward facing.
