Pushchair for newborn and 3 year old?

Hi, hoping someone can help with my current pushchair dilemma! I'm expecting my second in June, by which time my eldest will be nearly three. Currently have a Joolz Day 2 travel system and a lightweight Mamas and Papas travel buggy which we use most of the time at the moment. The Joolz weighs a ton and my DS isn't very happy in it for some reason. He much prefers the travel buggy, but it has a very small storage basket so I struggle a bit with carrying everything to the park as it is! We do quite a lot of walking and have a bit of a trek to the park, too far for him to walk there and back at the moment. I think ideally I'm looking for a single pushchair that both he and a newborn could use - so something fairly lightweight that lies flat and can be parent facing, but that I could easily swap around for my toddler if he gets tired (and pop the baby in a carrier). Or possibly attach a buggy board to. I've been looking at the Joie Versatrax - does anyone have any experience of these, or any other tips?! I'm a bit lost so any advice would be gratefully received!

Bugaboo bee. Works great parent facing with buggy board.
You don’t need the carrycot for newborn, you can use main seat and they sell a newborn cocoon. That way you can easily swap between newborn and toddler.

We had a meego. It's a cart that attaches to the back but has a 5 point harness. It was absolutely brilliant!

For that age I'd definitely get a single pushchair and a good buggy board (one with a seat) plus sling/carrier for baby. With that combo you should be fine.
How about the iCandy Lime? www.madeformums.com/reviews/icandy-lime-review/

Thank you for your suggestions, lots to think about! I like the look of the iCandy Lime, the built in buggy board sounds good. I could just get a buggy board for the Joolz but I live up a hill and find it difficult enough to push it home with one child in it, never mind two! I've come across the Oyster 3 which looks like it could be an option, as it lies flat so could be used by a newborn without a carrycot.
