Before we recommend new products, we always ask our trusted Mumsnet users, a community of around 7 million parents. That’s a lot of honest, impartial advice. Expert guidance The Lascal Maxi is a standing board which doesn’t come with a seat. However, there’s an option to buy a compatible ‘saddle’, which can be bought separately if you decide your child would be happier sitting down. The saddle doesn’t come cheap so you’d have to factor this into the overall price if you want a seated buggy board. When compared to the other seated buggy board on our list, the BumpRider Sit Stroller Board, the Lascal Maxi works out as being quite a bit more expensive. Suitable from two-years-old, this buggy board may be just what you are looking for if you have a Baby Jogger pushchair. The board is compatible with Baby Joggers including Baby Jogger City Elite 2, City Mini 2, City Mini GT2, City Mini 2 Double, City Mini GT2 Double, City Tour Lux, City Select, City Select Lux and Summit x 3.

Most buggy boards are suitable from 2-years-old but the Roma Uptown Rider can be used from 12 months - great if you have a small gap between your babes. However, it’s not as versatile as a dual purpose ride-on like the BumpRider Sit Stroller Board, because this is only a seat and offers no function as a standing board. For scooter mode, you turn the rear wheel into the fixed position. To allow for manoeuvrability when it’s attached to the buggy, you can turn it for a 360 degree swivel function. There are light up, colourful wheels and an adjustable handlebar that houses four height options, from 68cm (26 inches) to 90cm (35inches) so it will grow with your child. As a scooter, it can handle up to 50kg of weight or 20kg as a buggy board when attached to a pushchair.

When it comes to attaching it to your buggy, the Baby Jogger Glider Board is easy to fit. It can also be flipped and clipped away when not in use and it won’t stop you folding your buggy when attached either. Like the Oyster board though, this board designed to fit only one brand of pushchairs, which means that it won’t be of use if you don't have a Baby Jogger design.

Please note that this product has been discontinued by the Manufacturer. You may take a look at the Buagboo Adapter for Comfort Wheeled Board (Buffalo and Donkey). Some people struggle to walk with buggy boards. Common complaints from users are that they're unable to take proper strides when pushing a buggy with a stroller platform attached as their feet catch on the board. Others say that it’s bad for posture or that they struggle to reach the pushchair handle over their child when they’re using the ride-on. However a side car buggy board such as the Roma Uptown Ride may solve this issue. The saddle has been carefully designed to securely and safely clamp on and off the board, which makes fitting the saddle easy. You don’t require any special tools to fit the Saddle. The Buggy Board Maxi Saddle is a useful accessory that transforms the Buggy Board Maxi into a ride-along board with a seat; it fits onto the Lascal Maxi BuggyBoard. The saddle gives your toddler the option to sit when s/he is tired standing up, while you’re navigating busy streets, crowded grocery stores, theme parks and other high traffic.
