A new stroller with a ride-on board; my best set-up yet
4 |
My four year old and a friend squeeze themselves onto the ride-on board together on a recent mall trip
So I just adore my latest stroller set up. It's light, it's narrow, and it fits both of my kids. Here's what I have going: I'm using Baby Jogger's new City Series Mini for my toddler. On the back of the stroller, I've attached a Lascal Buggy Board Maxi.
Let's start with the stroller. Baby Jogger has taken all the things that made their regular City Series so great, and made it smaller and more lightweight - hence, the Mini. It's an "urban terrain stroller." What does that mean? It means that it's an all-play stroller. It pushes like a regular stroller but it has the perks of a jogger built into the body of an every day stroller - it's smoother, lifts up and down more easily and offers a swivel front wheel. This stroller is not intended for jogging but you can definitely power around in it!
Other nice features: it reclines almost fully, has an amazing weather cover that moves to almost any angle you need it to move to and it has a quick and easy rear-parking break.
It weighs only 16.8 pounds! I almost flung it over my shoulder the first time I went to collapse it. And speaking of the collapse, it has a big strapped mark "FOLD," and it couldn't be easier. It retails for $199.99 and comes in some nice colors (Red/Black, Black/Black, Blue/Grey, Orange/Grey, Green/Grey)
Also with my own Mini, I ordered and added the Parent Console (a little tray that goes up top to hold two drinks and extras - I usually have my cell, keys and a drink up here) and the snack tray for my youngest below.
Then, I ordered the Lascal Buggy Board. It snaps right onto the back of the stroller and it's great because my four year old - who is just a bit too old for a double stroller but young enough to not want to walk all the time. He actually spends a lot of time sitting cross-legged on it. You'd never even know he was there. What's nice too is that it clips off really quickly and easily for when I'm out just with my toddler.
I should note that the folks at Baby Jogger told me they do not support the use of a ride-on-board with their strollers. I'm sure they say this for a number of reasons, and I would never let my toddler stand on it, but I personally think it's just fine for my four year old.
