Buggy boards?


Recommended Posts

Does anybody know of a shop where I can try out buggy boards?


I have a Bugaboo Bee + I can't decide between the Bugaboo board and the Lascal. I recently saw somebody with a Bugaboo board + a Twoo seat, which looked great but I'm quite short and I don't know if I'd have enough room to walk behing the buggy.


My son will be 2 years + 4 months when the new baby arrives + I'm planning to do a combination of buggy/sling + buggy/buggy board.


I also have a Maclaren Triumph, but I don't use this very much. Having said that I'm guessing it would be good to have the option to use the buggy board on both, so perhaps the Lascal would be better?


I've spoken to Tommy's on Rye Lane + they don't have any to test. Kiddicare is usually very good for these things but they don't sell Bugaboo products.


If anybody can recommend somewhere or give me your personal recommendations I would be extremely grateful.


Thanks x

I had both a bee with a bugaboo board (not the seated one) and a maclaren quest with a lascal mini. Neither was ideal, it's not that easy to walk - the bugaboo board makes you walk like a cowboy and the lascal isn't great either - I found it hard to walk any distance with either and was glad of my double buggy (with a 22m age gap)...


But people do get on with them fine so maybe I just have a low tolerance threshold....!

I had a bee+ and I had my lascal maxi on it.


You will def kick the board sometimes but you adjust your stride, if that makes sense. The maxi is a bit higher than other boards so your feet can stride under it a bit.


Having said that, the new seated bugaboo board looks really good, and I know my toddler (at nearly 3) would like to be able to sit down! He sits on the lascal sometimes but it's not ideal.


I see people walking to the side of their bugaboo boards but then it is possible to steer the bee one handed even with toddler on board.

    • There are genuine risks for engineers working on cell towers, I believe, but the microwave effects attenuate very swiftly with distance meaning that those consumers, and residents, served by the towers are effectively risk free. The worst impact is aesthetic rather than medical, and the communications and computing etc. benefits offered by 5G tend to mitigate these for most people who have and use mobile telephony. Considering what else is out there in our built environment I personally don't think aesthetic objections trump the utility of better communications infrastructure. 
    • I think the concern is the mast being so close to a school as well?
    • There is a planning application to put a mobile phone mast at the top of Dog Kennel Hill.  Residents of Camberwell Grove and their friends in the Camberwell Society are fighting it - defacing their nice conservation area with ugly laminated posters!  They do not benefit from it as reception is fine on their side of the hill. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=S9IKT2KBN1200 I do not think there are any health hazards from being near phone masts (or at least they are negligible relative to everyday risks we all face).  Anyway, here is what the NHS has to say about them: https://111.wales.nhs.uk/encyclopaedia/m/article/mobilephonesafety/#Risks I imagine this will spark some lively debate!
