Which Tesco's are doing the Seat to Go for £34?

I'm a childminder too and have a 21month old daughter of my own, but i also have a 4 onth old starting with me soon so would like to get something so i don't have to use the twin buggy.

The 2 big extra stores near me in coventry are selling them at this price, so I guess if you can get to an extra store anywhere in the country, they'll be selling them at this price.

hi, i had a buggy board, used it when my dd1 was up to age 4. really good, although fiddly to get the fixings on at first!
though Iwould agree with what some of the others have said, you've either got to have really long arms or the buggy has got to have really long handles! (the huge post-baby belly in the way might not have helped either lol)
but great for getting out and about

I have got one of the "bike" things on my single buggy. My son is just over 3 and he only uses it occasionally - sometimes he loves it, other days he refused to sit on it. It does fold down OK still attached to the buggy, but I tend to detach it and store it in boot with buggy. Very useful, more user-friendly than a buggy board - he can actually sit down - and you get loads of comments when out.

...is Seat to go under your feet as much or less than a buggy board? And is Seat to Go as easy to put in the car as the buggy board? Seat to Go currently £34 in Tesco...cheaper than ebay!

So many questions.

BTW Sarahjovi-thanks for explanation!:A

Seat to go is a little higher off the ground - so you can walk without kicking it every time you take a step. I find it easier than a buggy board. Plus I find it dead easy to put on and off; I have to do this regularly.

definately gets my vote!

Hi I have seat to go that I bought second hand on ebay. It doesn't fit my M&P three wheeler but is great on my lightweight Mclaren. My daughter started using it at 21 months and is now 30 months, still worry she'll have a tantrum and run into the road.Would have liked to get a Buggy Pod(extra seat that clips on the side and folds up when not in use) but they were like gold dust when I wanted one. Still double buggy is best, I have Cosatto Duet Lite from Glasgow Pram Centre, wouold recommend and was inexpensive.

No double buggy for me...I have a thing about them in the same way others just can't wear slings...call it a phobia if you will!:o

I considered the buggy pod when I was pregnant, but decided against it as figured I may as well get a wide double buggy.

The bike sounds good though-you're the first person I've heard of who's actually used one

I went for a kiddy board as daughter 3 when 2nd arrived. Once OH fitted clamp onto pram it was really straightforward to clip on board when needed i.e when picking up tired eldest from nursery or when she decided that she had just had enough of walking during her independent moments.
You do get used to the stance needed, although I am unsure if my back ever did. But relatively easy to 'kick' up kerbs when needed (even with child aboard).
But the trade-off is well worth it. Cost me £40 from an independent retailer and sold it on eBay for £25! I did have a pram with full suspension so had no option but to go for the kiddy board, i.e. a buggy board was no use, and the seat to go was not available. Also beauty of having kiddy board & pram was that eldest was able to stand on board and lean back against handle bar and I didn't worry about her falling off as I pushed at full pelt!
I did have the 'froggy' design i.e was not the standard black or red colour. If you go for a board and they are all of a similar price then go for the more unusual design as it seems easier to recoup money if you on-sell on eBay or similar.

WE tried these but my son had only just started walking when DS2 was born and didn't like it, refused to use it so opted for the double buggy
