26 month gap - bugaboo with buggy board (and seat) a good option?

[munteria]

Hi there

My DD will be 26 months when DC is born. In an ideal would I would like a Phil & Ted's but dont really want to splash out esp as I think its nice for the baby to start looking out at 6 months.

Do you think I could make do with a double (side by side) buggy which a friend has given me, then maybe get a buggy board (with also possibly a seat - a twoo) for my bugaboo a bit later on when DD is, say 2, and a half

Has anyone used the bugaboo buggy board, and seat for their toddler?

Would appreciate any feedback

Thanks

We were given a Bugaboo to use with ds [grateful emoticon] I bought the Bugaboo board for dd to use with it (worth having a look in the next John Lewis sale as I got mine with £15 knocked off because the box was a bit battered). When I bought it dd was still using a buggy at 3.5, but we don't have a car and walk everywhere. We attatched the buggy board but only used it for 2 days before taking it off. Dd was just too big for it! I think it would work better with an age gap like yours. If the Bug is being used in carrycot mode though it can be a bit of a squeeze for the standing child- using it as a travel system, or with the seat unit gives them a lot more room.

thanks for the feedback littlelamb. will try and see if we can get one on ebay

DD is 5.5 and is still known to use the bugaboo buggy board when we're walking long distances. She either stands inside the handlebar (is a cameleon so extendable) or sits on the board. Is perfectly comfortable.

We've had the bug and the board since dd was 2.5 and ds was tiny. Money well spent.
