Hi all
I need the wise help of MN in finding a pushchair/buggy board combo. Currently have a baby jogger city select pram with buggy board, this has been fine until now when DS 1 has started reception & weighs an absolute ton doing the school run with DD & DS2 (15 months). It's a good 30 minute walk to school, part of it uphill which DD will walk but then gets back on.
I've had a cosatto supa before which was great for weight, ease to push & handle height (I'm 6ft 1) so didn't know know whether to get another & a board for this, my issue is that DD is only 3 but very tall for her age & worried about max weights?!
If anyone has any recommendations of prams that can do all the above I'm all ears! Thanks so much!

Bugaboo bee? Parent facing it means when younger child naps, elder child can still stand on the board well without babies head in the way. Handle extends and child on board can stand inside handle so you dont have to stretch around them. They see to be popping up secondhand regularly.

Bugaboo bee works great with a lascal buggy board, I used one with a nearly 4 year old when I had a 45min nursery run. From 4 up I managed to teach dc1 to scoot one handed and hold my hand with the other because the bee pushes so well one handed.

I bought my bugaboo secondhand for €100 and it’s survived a further 2 kids!

Thanks so much everyone I will have a look at the bugaboo bee! Sounds like a winner!

My (very nearly) 3 yo DD was a menace with any buggy board - stepped off at random, nearly tripping me up every damn time. She also tried bouncing up and down on it and kept poking her brother. I now have a connecta sling. There is a toddler/preschooler version - but I still use the small one for DD as I am 5’2” so don’t want too much length. I use the connecta for a back carry if she is too tired to walk/we are walking along a busy road. It spreads the weight brilliantly and folds up tiny in the change bag/pushchair basket. This means you can use any pushchair you want. I find it so much easier to carry her than to try to push a very heavy pushchair/buggy board combo.
