We got one of those piggyback boards and it’s been the best! We also did your option 3 quite a lot until mine got too tall for the stroller (we also have a Zoe).
Try them out in a store for sure. We went with UppaBaby although it was between that and Nuna. We liked the way it transitioned to double more than the Nuna. Now that we’re pregnant again we just will add the rumble seat or the little skateboard attachment to it for our toddler and use the bassinet for our newborn.
I will say that the rumble seat has a weight limit which is annoying but I understand it. My toddler is average and it should work for now so not a major concern but if you have a higher percentile toddler when switching to the two seater it could pose an issue. Our plan is once our newborn is sitting unassisted they can go in the rumble and the bigger toddler can go up top.
We also bought the Zoe for a travel stroller (greenguard certified too) and LOVE IT for traveling. They have a double but idk if I like the side by side BUT I just saw if you get their standard stroller not the compact travel one it’s easy to adapt and add the second seat which likely would be cheaper than a Vista with UppaBaby and then adding another rumble seat down the road.

for travel - i have the zoe tour. i LOVE it. we bought for my first who is now almost 5. currently being used for our second who is 2mos (w carseat adapter). it's still in great condition and it's been everywhere with us, including several flights. it's super light, i can fold it up or out w one hand. i can also get it into my trunk with one hand while holding baby with the other. it has a bar or two cupholders (one for a drink and the other is shallower like a bowl for snacks). perfect for day trips, or on paved sidewalks. it's also disney approved, if you need it for that. the shade is one of the largest i've ever seen, which keeps it dark for stroller naps. i can't recommend it enough!

it could not double as a jogger though. it would not work well in rocky or sandy places.
I also have the Zoe Tour. It’s pretty much taken over as our everyday stroller. Had it almost a year now. Definitely easy to maneuver for public transit.
Seconding the Zoe Tour (that’s the bifold one). I watched a lot of videos and did a lot of research. You’ll likely get a lots of recs for the Stokke Yoyo and Joolz Aer, but both were way out of budget for me and honestly, even after checking both out in person, I prefer the Zoe. 🤷🏻♀️ As someone else mentioned, check out The Stroller Mom on YouTube and IG. Lots of helpful info there!
