We have used the BJCM since my daughter was born and have been very happy with it. Baby #2 is due in March by which time #1 will be 2y 2months-ish and we would ideally like to use a combination of buggy, buggy board and sling for the 2 of them. I would like to avoid a double buggy (tandem or single width) as the logistics of getting in and out of our place will be awkward.


Can anyone recommend a buggy board that worked well for them with this particular buggy? There are quite mixed reviews out there, so it's pretty confusing! Oh, and the board must fit with buggy seat fully reclined for the newborn.


Thanks in advance!

What a coincidence! I just bought one yesterday! Its the Bumprider and so far I think its fantastic. It sticks out far enough for daughter to stand behind the handle and with the buggy laying down. If I want to go fast I can hold the handle with one hand and walk to the side (so I don't knock my feet on the board). It seems to stear well and so far goes well over the bumpy ed pavements. I would def ask her to get off for kerbs that aren't dropped though.


My daughter is 3.5 and a really good walker so I've only now got it (son 10 months). I'm hoping it will save us a bit on petrol as now I can walk to things a bit further away. The best price I saw online was about 55 pounds (amazon), but yesterday I just happened to be in the baby shop at this end of Peckham (Rye Lane) and they had it for 50 (and no postage of course).

Hello Srisky. As with most things about the bjcm, it works quite well for me at 5'3 but is not that easy for 6' dh. He finds it awkward to stear. Saying that, our daughter is pretty tall for her age, maybe a bit more like the average 5 year old, who wouldn't be on a buggy board anyway.

I like it - v v easy to install, and once I'd figured out to use it with my son standing so he's inside the handlebar, if you see what i mean, it didn't mean I had to walk with it slightly to one side, and can walk reasonably normally. But I too am 5'3 and my taller husband doesn't find it so easy. I think you'd get that with any buggyboard though.

Thanks, Sunbob and Belle. I am of a similar height(5'4-ish!) and my daughter is probably a small-average 2y old so hopefully either buggy board should work. I think I will see if I can find a retailer that will let me try them out and look out for a second-hand one, in case she hates it. It's very helpful to know that both types have worked well with the BCJM - thank you!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
