Buggy boards

[susanmt]

Does anyone have/use one of these? Are they any use??

Bought mine when ds no 2 arrived and ds no 1 was 22 months old as I couldn't bear the thought of a double buggy. Never looked back, absolutely brilliant - but do use in conjunction with a wrist strap to disencourage jumping off and running away!! Good luck.

I had one, very handy and got half the cost back when sold it second hand. They've got them in the big Tescos at the moment. R

Yes I've got one and couldn't do without it. Was a bit worried about whether it would fit the 'pram' (Mamas & Papas 'Sherpa' but it fits fine. I'd heard stories of them coming off when going up and down kerbs etc but have never had a problem with ours. No 2 is 5 months and No 1 was 3 when her brother arrived. It's surprising how light it is to push them both. Possible down side is that No 1 won't walk very far, but the theory was that I'd go for long walks with both of them and lose lots of weight (ha ha!)

My2, 4 and 5 year old go on and off when we go for long walks and its really handy they feel really independent but you can always rein them in!

I bought my buggy board 2 months ago as I was trying to avoid using a double pushchair when my second child came along. I am really pleased with it. It handles the kerbs wonderfully, it doesn't interfere with my stride like I was expecting, and my 3 year old loves to be on it. Do watch out though as it can over balance if he is not standing squarely on the step.

Thanks everyone. I bought one and it is brilliant and we have had a great time with it - dd loves it!!!

Can anyone tell me who sells these apart from John Lewis? Am trying to find a second hand one but if I don't will need a new one before children go to nursery/playgroup in September. Thanks.

Tesco.com sell them as do Great Little trading co

They turn up quite regularly on Ebay

New, then you can get them from www.kiddicare.com

Fionn where are you as we have a hardly used one in north/east london?

Emmagee I'm in west London but happy to travel..I'm very interested. How much do you want for it?

2yo 8m old DS won't really use it. He wants to walk, or he's too tired to stand, or he wants to go a different direcction (he normally throws tantrums about coming home). I seem to be the only person who can't get on with my BB. Maybe when DS gets older.....

Fionn, if you ask mumsnet to give you my email address I'll give you my tel no and we can sort something out.

Thanks emmagee. I've emailed mumsnet and am waiting for them to get back to me so will call you very soon.

anyone else looking for one, they're down to £32.99 on kiddicare.com (free delivery when you spend more than £50)
