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!

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
