If you’re on this page, you’ve just had or are about to have your second child !
Congratulations !
But you don’t want to invest in a second stroller.
And so you’re looking for an accessory that allows you to walk your two children at the same time.
Just the thing, there are sidecars for Strollers that are perfect for both you and your little one.
I’ll quickly explain where and which sidecar to choose, depending on your needs and your stroller.
Renowned brands offering Side Cars for Strollers
Okay, I’ll make it short.
There are two brands that sell or used to sell sidecars for strollers in France.
- The English brand Buggypod.
- And the Eichhorn brand, which still sells sidecars and strollers in France.
Here’s their flagship model just below.
The main strengths of the Eichhorn product ?
- First and foremost, the sidecar is universal ! With its adaptable mount, it can be installed on all stroller frames (YOYO, Cybex, Pockit …). The sidecar is even compatible with a double stroller.
- Secondly, the buggy board is uniquely comfortable for parents, thanks to its side-mounted fastening system, which gives parents plenty of room to walk around (unlike skateboards).
- Again, great comfort for your child, as it comes with a harness attachment and a backrest, allowing it to sleep. Plus, there’s a steering wheel so he can have fun on your rides.
- And last but not least, an attractive price, as this is an accessory that will save you investing in a second stroller.
Why choose a stroller sidecar over a board ?
And yes, I can only advise you to get a sidecar for your eldest child, as a complement to your touring equipment.
Why ?
For him: He’ll be much more comfortable with a better seat. Boards are notoriously uncomfortable for children.
What’s more, he’ll be able to take a nap with it, as he won’t have to hold on constantly like with a board.
And what about you ? NO DISCOMFORT WHEN PUSHING THE STROLLER
The main drawback of the board is that it’s in front of the stroller’s handlebars, so you’ll be hampered when riding as your child will literally be in front of your feet.
I actually own a universal stroller board, and I have to tell you, it’s very annoying to keep getting your feet tangled up in it.
With a sidecar for a stroller, your eldest child will be on one side.
So you can walk without getting your feet caught in it.
