Which buggy board with a Loola?

[NinthWave]

As the title says - I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have a 3.2yo DS. I don't want a double buggy so am looking at buggy boards.

It needs to be sturdy as we don't drive and I walk everywhere/get the bus. I would also like to avoid one that will bash my feet as I walk - is this even possible?!

Someone has recommended the Lascal buggy board to me as it folds away when not in use, but I wondered if anyone else has used a board with a Loola (old model with two handles) - any recommendations?

Thankyou :)

The only thing I will say with the loola is when rear facing it sticks out quite a bit over the back (especially when reclined as the footrest comes up if that makes sense) so it can be a bit of a squeeze for a toddler.

However, I have had a Litaf seat to go, and a basic one on one and they were ok. The basic (like Lascal) was the best fit. There is a website (is it Lascals itself?) that tells you the fit of every pushchair so you can see before you buy.

The other option is a buggy pod - I know I've read somewhere that someone has had one of these on the side of a Loola and it worked well.

Have just googled Litaf and that looks good, thankyou! Did it fold up at all when not in use?

I'm thinking I'll mostly use the car seat with wheels at first (we'll only be doing short journeys to preschool/shops) so the rear-facing thing shouldn't be too much of a problem...am hoping that a few weeks into it, DS1 will have learned to cope with not being in a buggy any more!

No,the litaf doesnt fold up. It is a bit of a squeeze to get on too, if you dont think you'll need the sitting down part a Lascal might well be a better option.

according to this the Lascal is a 10/10 fit, where as I would say the Litaf is only a 6 or 7.

and hopefully your DS1 will be happy with no buggy - though saying that my DS1 is 4 and still jumps in his brothers pushchair whenever he gets to with the excuse "my legs are soooooo tired" He hated the pushchairs for 2 years and was a nightmare when his brother was newborn as wanted to walk everywhere - lost that enthusiasm now!!
