If you are on this page, it means you are going to or have had a happy event 🙂
Congratulations.
But there you go,
How can I avoid investing in a second stroller ?
Or in a double stroller so you can take your two children out at the same time ?
Fortunately, there is an accessory to solve this problem 😉
The baby carriage board for strollers !
A very useful little accessory that will save you money and also save you a lot of rides with your children.
Oh yes, you see that situation where the eldest says he wants to walk all the way, but halfway through he wants the stroller or the arms…
HOP with your board installed, your eldest will be able to sit on it and you’ll be able to get on with your ride without crying or your child dragging his feet ^^ (yes, I’ve been in that situation many times).
How do you choose the right buggy board for your stroller ?
How do I install the universal buggy board on my stroller ?
And many other questions.
I’m here to answer any questions.
What’s the difference between a board, a skateboard, a step stool and a skateboard ?
There is no difference between these four terms.
They all mean an accessory that fits onto the chassis of an original stroller, and allows a second child to be transported.
The term “stroller baby carriage board” is most often used for this accessory.
What are the different types of universal buggy boards ?
To my knowledge, there are 4 types of universal baby carriage boards.
Oh, and yes, there’s another bonus at the end of the article that’s very interesting too.
The 2-wheeled buggy board with seat
The most common model and the most popular with parents, because it’s practical, foldable and doesn’t take up too much space.
The 4-wheel buggy board with wheelchair
Optimal comfort for your child, allowing him to rest and take naps during your outings.
The Stroller platform
An accessory reserved for older children, as your eldest child will need to hold on to the stroller frame throughout your outing.
(Bonus) Buggy boards with light-up wheels 🙂
How to install a buggy board on a stroller ?
Whether on your YOYO, CYBEX, Bébé confort, Chicco or Maxi Cosi stroller, the universal buggy board will fit all models in the same way.
There will just be a difference between the fasteners.
Some will be scratchbuilt, others with clips.
The board is fitted to the rear frame of your stroller via two height and width-adjustable “connecting rods”, to fit all stroller frames.
HOP in as little as two minutes, you can get your universal buggy board on and off your favorite stroller.
So to sum up:
- 2 articulated arms for mounting on the rear frame of all strollers
- Adjustable in height and width to fit all strollers, even double strollers
Can the buggy board be folded onto the stroller ?
Most models with a seat can be folded on top of your Stroller.
This means you can continue to use your stroller without the board, and without having to dismantle the accessory each time.
How much does a universal baby carriage board cost ?
On average, a “good” buggy board for a universal stroller will cost between $50 and $60.
Lower-priced models are available, but are generally not highly rated.
Is there an alternative to the universal board for a stroller ?
The answer is YES !
A brand sells a sidecar for strollers.
What are these advantages ?
Well, it’s also a universal accessory, so it can be fitted to any stroller in the world.
What’s more, it offers a unique level of comfort for parents with its side-mounted fastener, so you don’t have to hold the sidecar at your feet.
But also, optimum comfort for your child, because with its backrest and safety harness, your child will be able to nap in comfort.
This is not the case with a stroller step stool, where for most models, your child will have to concentrate constantly on sitting upright.
Is it possible to modify the seat on the universal baby carriage board for strollers ?
Do you find the seat of your board uncomfortable for your child ?
Well, the BeCool brand has answered your call for more comfortable seats that can be adapted to all baby carriage board models.
How old do you have to be to use a baby carriage board for a stroller ?
Most buggy boards can carry up to 25kg, which means your child will generally be up to 7/8 years old.
You’ll easily get a return on your investment over the years.
Is it possible to install the buggy board on the front of the stroller ?
So the answer is YES you can, but I strongly advise against it.
Why ?
Because your vision of your taller self on the buggy board will be obstructed by the stroller.
As a result, you won’t be able to keep a proper eye on things, and thus anticipate and avoid injuries and accidents.
