I'm looking to purchase a Buggypod to use with my Double buggy as I'm a Childminder who would prefer not to use a triple buggy (they all seem so bulky).


However I've heard a couple of mixed review's and wanted to see if anyone else had any experience of using one before I bought one as they're not cheap and I don't want to make an expensive mistake.

Alison,


I'm sure I have posted on here before about this. I bought a buggy pod for my childminder to use on her double buggy a few years ago so my then 2.5 year old didn't have to walk when she did the school run.


It did help a bit, but wasn't great - a big hassle to fit, always working loose again, and also eventually pretty much ruined the buggy it was attached to due to the extra weight etc on the side of it. A great idea, but sadly not so good in practice.


Overall the buggy board with the step that they can sit on seems to work better, as long as one of the children is old enough to cope with it. Otherwise, though a big expense one of these buggys would be a worthwhile investment for a childminder I reckon as you have the option of adding or removing the 3rd seat from the handle;

Works out at about ?400 to have shipped from NZ I believe, but have seen 2 or 3 of them around this area recently.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again. 
    • Double In New or great condition  Or super comfortable air bed Any1 pls
    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
