Alternative to buggy board

scrapbooksarah

When our second child was born we bought one of those buggy boards for our toddler.

It seemed a good idea in principle but we were forever catching our feet under the board when pushing the pram or having to stoop to keep out feet out of range.

The other day while struggling with this infernal contraption I was passed by somebody pushing a pram and attatched to the side was a cool bike for the toddler. It sat slightly to the side so no tripping over yourself.

I was so impressed I stopped the mother and asked her where it was from. It turns out its from Switzerland it's called the Strolli Rider I had a quick google and bought one from MonkeyShine

It's an absolute dream, easy to fit, easy to push and my little one loves it!! and I can thoroughly recommend it!! And they are on offer at the moment.

fantasic!! a friend of mine is expecting her 2nd this year, and we were talking about buggy boards and that child number 1 won't like being strapped into a double buggy, this would be ideal for her thanks

Can I just say that me and my DD aged 3 love the Buggy Board and have been using it for 9 months. Occasionlly I can bump into it but you kind of get used to it being there. I personally feel the bike seat is a bit too clumpy and in the way as my friend has one and never used it. She cant give hers away...

Looks like a good i dea, only concern id have is getting on a bus with it.. wouldnt it be quite bulky? Also if you were folding up puschair into car how does it come off/detatch? Looks good if it was just used for walikng though x
