advice on buggy boards

[missyelliott]

Hello, I have googled this but there is a mix of opinion. I basically want to find out if there was a buggy board that fits the iCandy Cherry as well as a Maclaren XT.

Many thanks

Sorry can't help with that specific question.

But would just say that if you can try a board before buying then do. We got one for our daughter and she flatly refused to ever get on it, and we ended up selling it a couple of weeks later for quite a loss.

But I think they're great if kids are happy using them.

Thanks Otta. I hadn't even thought of that.

There might be a board that fits (although I think I've hear icandys are particularly awkward?) - look on the lascal website as they are pretty universal and def fit the maclaren. BUT you would have to get two sets of connectors as whilst you can detach the board fairly easily sometimes the connectors are more tricky. And they are hugely annoying to walk with....but admittedly they do serve a purpose and on the rare occasions we use a buggy these days on long days out my 5 yr old does hop on when knackered.

I second the advice to try one first if you can. I absolutely hated walking with one on the maclaren techno. I prefer to carry the second child in an Ergo even now that she is 3 on the rare occasions that she is too tired to walk. I don't think I could even push the buggy with a 5 year old on a buggy board. I'm just not that strong!

Be very careful with a buggy board, I used one when my older child was 2 (in hindsight, too young) and he got off it , ran out into the road and very nearly got hit by a car. I'd recommend you talk to yours about staying on until you're blue in the face!
