So..... my pushchair history so far.... heavy travel system (stopped using when ds out of carry cot), given MB urban (I know v lucky).... used to death and loved loved loved it..... DD due, found that the very old style urban couldn't take buggy board, mush faffing etc but eventualy sold to make way for a Phil and Teds. DS should now be walking all the time as he is dropping his nap (only reason for having a double as he is now 3 )BUT I bloody hate the P&T, it's a pain to fold, raincover is crap- annoying poppers (compared to easy velcro/eastic of MB) it's seems mush heaviers to lift into boot (although it should be a similar weight to MB). Plus is ds is in fron and dd is in back she can't lie flat to sleep.
Was going to trade it in for a newer MB and buugy board....then I saw a baby jogger classic on ebay. Looks quite good, nice easy fold, but I've never seen one in the flesh so ahve a few questions.
Does anyone know how raincover attaches and how user friendly it is? What's it like with a buugy board?
Plus if anyone has used both pushchairs- how do they compare? Ease of pushing, using with buggy board etc...

I sold my baby jogger classic and bought a MB as it just does NOT work with a buggy board.

The handle is too far back in relation to the buggy board being attatched to the bit near the wheels, so your child end up leaning really far back and it tips the buggy backwards

We couldn't even go for a short walk with it.

Great buggy for single, but just does not work with a board, (we have the lascal 3g buggyboard)

I dunno if another would work?

we had the conecting arms on too, trying to push it as far out as possible but DS was still leaning back and causing the front wheel to rise up.

The mountain buggy is fantastic with the buggy board!
