BuggyPod on P&T E3??

Hello! I am due with my third little bouncing bundle of joy (!) at the end of next month. I will have 3 under 3 1/2 when this one is born and I currently own a Phil&Teds E3. I am in a quandry.....

DD1 (3) is very lazy and gets v.tired, esp in the afternoons (she still often falls asleep in the pram while we are walking) She finds it hard to walk for significant distances, esp as she has pneumonia when she was 15m and her lungs don't work as well as they should. DD2 (22m) loves to walk, but is a little pickle and wanders off all over the bloomin' place - reins are no good as she just "free falls" on them and refuses to walk! So basically, there are times when I would need all 3 in a pushchair in order to actually get anyhere!! Eeeeek!

I have been looking online at BuggyPods and they seem like the only sensible solution to my problem; but I am worried they'll make the P&T too heavy and difficult to handle.

Does anyone had experience of a similar problem? Could anyone advise?

Thank you!

We bought a buggypod to use with our E3 (the website we bought if from said that it was compatible). It was a complete nightmare. It was ok on the flat but if you tried to go up a kerb the whole thing pivoted and almost turned upside down. (DD was in the buggypod and screamed,and then wouldn't go back in - don't blame her).
We ended up with a full refund.

If I had the money I would get a double adventure buggy with a toddler seat (seat attachs to the handle bars) - but when I enqured it was 600 pounds to get one from NZ. You might be lucky and find one on ebay.
My nanny sometimes lets one of our kids ride on the footwell of our phil and teds, (when both seats are occupied), which is ok for short distances as long as you don't mind buying a new footwell every now and then (about £30).

Thanks for the tip - That is what I thought - We don't really have the odd £600 lying around so guess it is "back to the drawing board....."
