Recommendation please - dbl pram for toddler & newborn

Hi, hoping someone can give me some advice as I feel like I'm going around in circles looking up double prams!
I have a 2.5 year old who is not ready to leave her pram and due second baby in October. I'm looking to get a double as we will be doing lots of walking and at the moment if we dont have a pram my toddler ends up having to be carried within 15min.
I was originally looking at the icandy peach but I think my toddler will hate being at the bottom or in the vertical setup (she hates even sun canopy open as it blocks her view).
I started looking at bugaboo donkeys but my front doorway is only 73cm and back door 74cm so I may wiggle it in but not sure it will definitely fit.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a double for a toddler/newborn that will fit through a 74cm doorway?

Those that have a side by side double, have you struggled to get in and out of shops?

Not sure if it is relevant but can only afford secondhand so brand new models are most likely out.

Thank you in advance!!

I loved my out n about side by side, it’s wide, but you can get a carrycot attachment that pops off so in the early days I used that. Other doubles that lie flat often use a ‘nest’ type bag for newborns that you can also just lift out to bring in! (If it helps the width dilemma). The three wheel structure meant it was easy to push. My eldest now sits on its front plate when tired. A workhorse of a buggy.

We have the mountain buggy duet for my baby and toddler. It’s great, it’s known for fitting through all standard doorways and I’ve never had any issues. Plus it goes over any terrain. I absolutely love it!

I should add we found it secondhand on marketplace. Plus if my toddler wants to walk I can hold her hand and easily steer it.

I found the city mini really good.

@Callmemummynotmaaa we had an out n about double too. Had planned to get a Phil and Ted's but eldest hated it when we tried.

Like you say, easy to push and an absolute work horse of a buggy. Sold it to my child minder when our DC outgrew it as she thought it was great too.
