Sorry I don;t have that one - I do have a maxi board though for my pram. The thing is though I have only used it for my dd & she's only two - not sure about the weight of a 4 year old on one, meaning more the pushing weight ontop of the pram IYSWIM?

I have found it can be tricky when going down hill for example - sometimes feels like the thing is going to run away with me!

Hopefully someone with this board will be along soon x

If she is needing to consider stairs and trains I would not take a buggy board. It makes the pushchair hard to carry upstairs and she won't be able to fold it easily without removing it on trains.

I would suggest lifts/taxis and a stroller. Perhaps the children will take turns?

If she needs the board out in Tenerife then maybe pack it in a case for use out on holiday.

There's a site somewhere which shows which boards are compatible with which buggies. I just googled it and found it but sure someone here will remember which site it was, someone always has an answer.

I find them tricky with a 4 year old aswell. It's also extra luggage to be carrying onto the plane. They're quite bulky & heavy aswell if she's folding up the pushchair to get onto the train & plane.

I'd get a sling instead, then she can be carried when she wants to be & it's less for your daughter to carry.
