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

H

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!

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By Azalea · Posted

      By ‘adopting’ you would still have to pay for the dog.  Do you have children?  Have you ever had a dog before?  Looked after anyone’s dog?  Work away from home?  Are there any breeds you are particularly interested in?    I would suggest going to Discover Dogs which is part of Crufts but that won’t be until next year now. That way you can meet many different breeds and their owners.  They used to have a standalone DD at the Excel Centre in November but I don’t think it exists anymore. You could also go to different dog shows to see different breeds. They are held throughout the year.  if you get certain breeds like a shitzu or poodle then you’d have to factor in grooming costs if you can’t do it yourself.  You can always keep them in a very short clip.  Many dogs shed a lot including short haired dogs like pugs.  Golden retrievers are also notorious for shedding.  I personally would never get a brachy dog like a pug, French bulldog or English bulldog ever.    If you get a well bred dog from a breeder and can meet the parents then you would get an idea of what the dog will turn out like.  Sometimes breeders have dogs returned to them for various reasons including illness of the owner.  You could look for such a dog.  It’s important that all dogs are socialised correctly during their first year as well as being exposed to outside influences. If this doesn’t take place then the dog has been done a disservice.  But, there’s substitute to good breeding in my opinion or if you are getting an older dog perhaps you could foster first to get to know them.  You could end up with a dog who’d been badly treated in a previous home and that would take a lot of fixing.   If you are interested in sight hounds, @galgosdelsol are a rescue in Spain run by an English woman (they are on Instagram and have a website) who rehomes Galgos, Spanish dogs similar to greyhounds.  They are often dumped by Spanish hunters if they won’t hunt and retrieve.  They are thoroughly assessed and trained before being rehomed. A breeder of my favourite breed in York works with a Romanian rescue and she fosters a few dogs a year in order to rehome them in the UK.  She’s even kept a few herself.

      Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.

      I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment.

      I have not. Both things are true.
