Buggyboards - what age to try them

8 replies

Em32 · 03/10/2005 19:33

Ds is 19 1/2 months and wants to walk everywhere bu does the usual toddler thing of going the opposite direction you want him to go in or wanting a carry (difficult as I have a 5 week old in a sling) but throwing a fit if you try and get him in the buggy. Is he too little for a buggy board? I wondered if that might help if dd was in the buggy and he rode on the back. Thanks....

I used a buggy board for DS from about 18 months. I had to use the reins aswell though as he had a terrible habit of jumping off!

He was also quite tall for his age which made him the right size to see over the buggy (with a hood)

Even if you buy it now and it turns out not to be suitable, you can always put it away for a few months time. Or you could try one of those seats 2 go so he can sit down if he is tired.

What is a seat to go?

kath4kids · 03/10/2005 22:02

seat to go is a buggy board with two levels so they can stand on it or sit on the higher level facing you with their feet on the lower level. I bought one a few weeks ago and my dd aged 2.8 yrs refuses to get on it, she also refuses to walk so iguess it will be the double buggy for us for a while longer. ds 18 months also refuses to use it so cant even swap them but he is the right height and he's only a short 18months so yours should be fine.

Hope that ramble helps

Thanks, think I'm going to leave it a while though as ds has been particularly strong willed the past couple of days - have decided it is probably best to keep him in a buggy for a while (while I'm still strong enough to get him in there at least!)

ok will try sell it on for sale then. I know what strong willed is like, hope you find a solution
