Re: Buggy Board - was going rate for Duette

September 25, 2001

buggy boards (or b***er boards as DD2 calls them) are widely available

in JLP and other places -all the catalogues have them too.

I gave up with the double buggy quite early on, it was too wide for

our pavements, though pretty useful for shopping trips to shopping

centre type place s with plenty of space!

The girls are 20 months apart and DD1 quite quickly preferred the

buggy board on a single umbrella fold, meant she could get on & off if

she wanted, (-a right PITA if she was in the double buggy!!)

This term I have stopped using it to go up to school as pushing both

of them (both over 2 stone! plus buggy plus bump was tooooo much.

(and the subtle difference in position makes a whole load of

difference to your back when pg!!) I still attach it if we are out on

a longer session, or shopping somewhere busy so I can keep easy tabs

on her! (she's almost 4 now) DD2 will walk much further than DD1 would

have done at the same age.

When the baby comes I plan to do the sling/carrier, buggy and DD1

walking.

I regret the Britax travel system we bought for DD1 -it's fab for one

child -and the carry cot has done ours in the early months for

sleeping, but you can't use a buggy board with it (handle in wrong

place!) and its very heavy....still it was the best kind of thing

then, pushchair design has moved on apace in 4 years!
