buggy board on mclaren and single p&t


Recommended Posts

hello


I've got a mclaren and a p&t sport. We use the p&t most days but seem to need both seats less and less. My eldest son is 3 and sometimes does still get tired so we're not quite ready for 1 buggy. I wondered if anyone had used a buggy board on the p&t sport just with the main buggy? I think as time goes on we'll end up using the mclaren more so ideally want a buggy board I could use with both... Anyone tried this?


I do like the p&t as a single buggy, its nice and sturdy for muddy parks etc, but the mclaren is more compact and so much easier for the car. Also I'll have to use the mclaren and a buggy board for nursery drop off when I return to work in may...


Any tips on the buggy board front?


Thanks

Hi there, I have just done as you have described for the exact same reasons. I put my lascal buggy board on my P&T sport, (minus lower seat as 3.5 year old mostly scooters or walks, but occasionally gets very tired).


I did have it on my maclaren, which I tried for a few weeks, but I missed the P&T too much. I found pushing the maclaren with the buggy board like pushing it through mud. Since putting it on the P&T it's SO much easier.


HOWEVER - the lascal really didn't want to go on the P&T and they don't really seem compatible. The brake is kind of in the way, so I had to fix it to the 'higher axel' bit? The securing bits (sorry not easy to describe without picutres!)didn't go very easily around this axel as the material for the basket kind of gets in the way...Also because the top seat of the P&T comes quite far back, when my toddler stands on the board the handle bar is in her face, so I find it better to tilt the handle bar as high as it will go. It makes for an interesting sight! Toddler has to hold on quite high up as she is holding the handle bar too. Having said all that it works well for us for the 5 min walk to & from nursery....hope that helps!

    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
    • Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'! 
    • Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
