Which Pushchair?

I need a pushchair to fit the following requirements.

Able to be used for a tall three year old occasionally.

Use with a buggy board (although which buggy board I have zero clue).

Compactish simple fold, it needs to fit in a smallish boot. I can get a buzz in my boot with the wheels off if that's helpful.

Lighter than a Phil and Teds.

Occasional use on the tube (this isn't vital but would be nice).

Semi decent basket.

I currently have a phil and teds and a city mini. I love the City Mini, but I can't get a board on that and it feels clunky with my three year old.

So any suggestions?

I feel compelled to reply and say I actually don't know of an answer. Most things I have pushed with a 3yo in felt a little clunky to me one way or another.

The cmgt is marginally better with a board than the regular city mini imo but I didn't find it worked amazingly well but it's a lovely pushchair. I have a britax b motion with a board at the moment, which is better purely in terms of how well the board works and excellent to push in a straight line but the motion is heavy to steer, far heavier than the bjcmgt.

I too am considering my next move. Thinking of a joovy groove (umbrella stroller but with wheel bearings - less rattly, smoother to push hopefully) or maybe a red kite zumi, which is a valco snap in disguise, looks to have a good space for a child on a board to be inside the handlebar and is 9cm narrower than a city mini. Haven't actually pushed either though. :-/

I suppose the three year old going in the pushchair would be negated by the board. The only thing I can think of myself is a bee, but it's so low down that it puts me off (I'm fairly tall).

A bee is good if it's robust enough for where you need to use it. I hear nothing but good things about bee and board :-D It's only really the seat that's fairly low down, the handle will be fine. There was a post a few days ago where someone recommended a pushchair/board combo they thought was great but I've forgotten what it was. A mutsy maybe. Lighter and smaller yet strong seems hard to find.

The new Zapp Xtra 2 with the new Quinny stroller board on it?

Oh and you can pimp a Zapp up with bags :) I used to get a weeks worth of shopping home on one :)
