I am soon to have two 13 months old and a 16 months old. None of the 13 months old are walking but the 16 months old is. I have a McLaren twin buggy. Do any of you use a buggy board with it? Also if you do, can you fold it with the pushchair or not?
I have to drive to do the school run as the school I pick up from is not local so I have to take buggy in and out of the car so it needs to be practical.
Thought about getting a triple buggy but not sure it will fit in car, through doors etc....
Any advice will be lovely as I am starting to panick a bit and worrying I won't be able to cope!!

This site tells you about the compatability of buggy boards fitting your pram.

I would have doubts that a 16 month old would be able to balance on a buggy board while its moving - can you try the child on someone elses first as its a lot of money to fork out? The one I had used to click on and off to fold the buggy, it was easy enough to do.

My 15mth old used to use the buggy board however they soon get tired holding on so only used it for short distances.

Hope you get it sorted.

How about the sit and stand one. Killed my back but was useful

I've got a Maclaren twin complete with buggy board. The buggy board I have is used for an almost 3 year old or the 2 year old.

It was easy to attatch to the pushchair, when not needed it just gets unclipped, takes seconds to remove.

My buggyboard also is easy to clip on and off.
However I look after an eighteen month old and she cannot safely hold on to it.

Thanks for advice, think will get a triple buggy :eek: :eek: as it wouldn't be fair on little one to be on the buggy board.
You made me realise that he might be too small for it. It will also be a lot safer and easier to have them all strapped in. The only hard bit will be the hill I have to walk up at my dd's school. I might shed a few pounds...:clapping:

i think that is the safest option. Another reason to have them strapped in is when you are somewhere such as school then at least you know where they are at all times!!! And can see the others into school safely. x

Good luck with those 3! sounds like it will be hard work! x
