BuggyBoard Connector Kit

My two children are newly 4 years old and 15 months old. I had a Baby Jogger City Mini that the older child loves but her legs are too long for it now, and the younger child isn't yet large enough to sit comfortably in the Baby Jogger. So, I needed another stroller for long-ish walks and trips to the zoo, etc., and for when the 4-year-old gets tired or cranky or whiny and wants to be in the stroller but can't because the baby is too heavy for me to carry long distances. I dusted off a Maclaren stroller that I hadn't been using and retired the Baby Jogger to the basement. I bought a used BuggyBoard Maxi from a friend and bought the connector kit from Amazon (you need to get your own connector kit because it is a pain to remove them from the stroller, and there is a risk of the connector breaking). (BTW, the BuggyBoard is not recommended for the Baby Jogger but is highly recommended for the Maclaren -- check the Lascal website for info on connectivity with ANY stroller in the world.) The connector kit came within a couple of days and I snapped the pieces together and off the kids and I went. It is not the most comfortable ride for me -- I need to bend over somewhat around my daughter on the board to reach the stroller bars -- and often I walk alongside the stroller when she's on the board. However, it saved me from buying a new double stroller when I won't need one for much more than a year probably. Also, my daughter loves to hop on and off and she stays on the board when we cross the street or have to maneuver through a crowd, and that is a mental lifesaver. Sometimes she sits cross-legged on the board and holds on to the metal bars of the stroller and she can get a little bit of a leg rest that way if she really needs it. I haven't figured out how to attach the clip to raise the board up and tuck it away when it's not in use, so I either leave the board on or leave it off or detach it (it's super easy to snap the board off and on) and stick it in the stroller basket (although you need to decide ahead of time because you don't want to take the board off and on throughout the day when your stroller basket also contains a purse and a diaper bag and possibly a lunch kit). At first I had debated buying the Ultralight Joovy sit-and-stand, but now I'm really happy with the BuggyBoard because the older child doesn't always want to be on the stroller, and this way I have the flexibility to use the single stroller for the younger child as he gets older. Plus, the single stroller plus Buggy Board takes up so much less room in the trunk than a double stroller. Last, I really like the BuggyBoard's design of the wheels on the side as I don't kick the board as often as I would were the wheels in the middle of the board (as they are for the Bugaboo board, for example).

Needs to be added in to buggy cart purchase

I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews. The directions are not easy to understand but it is pretty easy to figure out by looking at the pictures. Make sure to use the two little silver paper strips that are to help keep the straps in place. Also, make sure you turn the square pieces to tighten after you get the straps where you want them on the stroller poles. I love the buggy board and so glad I purchased these instead of using the old ones that came with the $10 craiglist buggy board that I bought. Definitely worth the price.

First of all, it is too expensive! I tightened the straps as tight as they would go, which was not tight enough, and as soon as I attached the board and my child stood on it, the straps came undone. I tried multiple ways and had several people try to tighten it for me to no avail. Finally I got some zip ties, poked a hole through the strap and inserted the zip tie to keep the strap from coming undone. Plus the silver grip included to keep it from sliding up and down the bar did not work at all. Now I have been using it for about 6 months and every time my child gets on the board, one side or the other will detach itself ~ very frustrating! I was so excited when I learned about the board, but I am disappointed with the product.

I like this product and it’s nice I can use it with two strollers, but you can see in the pictures that our two strollers require a very different setup. We have to keep two sets of cotter pins on the board and adjust the rotation of the arms between the two strollers. One of our strollers needs the extender arms and the other doesn’t. They get a bit in the way on the other stroller. Overall, we can make it work it’s just not seamless.

Bought this when the original connector set lost its grip. Works well and was easy to install on the BOB.

Definitely worth it to use on a different stroller. Also when I give away my board after my kids are grown, I will have this to give to the person so they can actually use it.Yes, I think of any way to spend money on amazon that I can!

I have the Lascal Buggy Board Maxi and needed it on my Bugaboo and Maclaren. I ordered this kit because the picture looked similar to the one that came with the maxi board with straps that pull to fit larger strollers like the bugaboo leg width. When I got the kit it was a screw and clip version instead of the straps, so I had to change the ones I had already put on the maclaren and move them to the bugaboo. Luckily the one I purchased fit the smaller legs of the maclaren and the straps that came with the maxi fit the bugaboo. Sounds confusing, kind of a pain. But all in all I love my buggy board, just wish this connector kit I got was the same as advertised in the picture. It worked out anyway, just buyer beware.
