Which buggy board for a bugaboo bee?

[LadyDoris2]

We are expecting our second child in early September. We have a Bugaboo bee and not sure whether to get the Bugaboo brand buggy board or the Lascal (maxi/mini) any recommendations/suggestions much appreciated!

I've seen a mini lascal on a bee. Not personal experience though!

When we were using our Bee (given up - got fed up with the buggy this time round), we used the Lascal mini and it worked absolutely fine. Think we had it with the Bee forward facing and I cant now remember if it makes it better or worse when the buggy is front facing!

I used the Mothercare own brand one with our Bee (with newborn baby and buggy rear facing). Was fine. The instructions a bit complicated but got there in the end!

We've used both lascal and the bugaboo one and preferred the lascal. The bugaboo one is easy to take off and put on but I find the 3 wheel design throws the balance of the whole pushchair off, I have I work hard to keep it straight. It's not a deal breaker but its a bit annoying. The lascal was also easy to remove and provided a larger platform for my daughter to stand on.

We've used the bugaboo bee buggy board (bought second hand on ebay) and it's been brilliant. My DS and DD both love using it. DD is only 2 and has been using it since she was 18 months (with big bro in buggy...) I've have no balancing problems at all although you do need two hands to steer but I think this is more to do with extra weight you're pushing along rather a fault with the three wheel design. Maybe test-drive someone else's to see whether you prefer the Lascal or the Bee board? Good luck!

Thanks all for your comments. JennyH was it the mini or maxi lascal you used?

Lula - thanks for the tip on test driving - think we will do that!
