Double Buggy vs BuggyBoard®: Which Works Best for You?
Bringing a new baby into the family is exciting, but it also raises a very practical question: how do you get around with two little ones in tow?
For years, many parents turned straight to the double buggy. But if you’ve ever tried steering one through a busy café or squeezing it into a lift, you’ll know it can feel like a bit of a wrestling match. That’s where the BuggyBoard® comes in.
Instead of lugging around a second seat you may not even use, the BuggyBoard® turns the pram you already love into a ride-on adventure for your toddler. It’s simple, compact, and even a bit exciting for little ones. Less stress for you, more fun for them.
What is a BuggyBoard®?
The BuggyBoard® is the original ride-on platform designed to save tired toddler legs. It clips easily onto almost any pram, giving your child a safe, sturdy place to stand when they are done walking.
Suitable from walking age up to around four years old, it’s a clever little add-on that helps your growing toddler feel like part of the action instead of being strapped back into a buggy.
For even more flexibility, you can add the BuggyBoard® Saddle which provides a sturdy seat when little legs need a rest. If you want both options from the start, the BuggyBoard® Maxi Plus comes with the Saddle included.
Best of all, when it is not needed, the BuggyBoard® folds neatly away. You keep the convenience of a single pram, with the bonus of a two-child set-up ready to go at any moment.
4 Reasons Why Parents Love the BuggyBoard®
1. Breeze Through Doorways
Double buggies are wide, heavy, and often awkward to steer. Everyday situations such as weaving through narrow pavements, getting through shop doorways, or hopping into a lift can become a real challenge. The extra size and weight can slow you down and make simple outings feel like hard work.
With the BuggyBoard® your set-up stays compact. You can move as easily as you would with a single buggy while keeping your toddler safely with you. Many parents find this especially helpful in busy places like cafés, supermarkets, or public transport where every bit of space matters.
2. Travel-Friendly
Traveling with two children can feel like packing for a small army. Fitting a double buggy into a boot alongside luggage or shopping is often a frustrating puzzle. The BuggyBoard® is light, quick to fold, and easy to carry. When your toddler wants to walk you can simply flip it up out of the way, then drop it back down when they are ready for a ride. For family holidays, weekends away, or just running errands around town, it makes life simpler and saves precious space.
3. Flexibility for Toddlers
Toddlers are full of energy… until suddenly they are not. One minute they are sprinting, the next they are sitting firmly on the ground, refusing to move another step. The BuggyBoard® offers a practical middle ground that suits both their energy and their mood.
They can walk when they want to, ride when they need to, and change their mind as often as toddlers do. For parents, that means fewer mid-journey meltdowns and no more pushing an empty buggy seat “just in case.” It turns battles into choices, keeping everyone happier on the go.
4. Supports Transitions
Becoming a big brother or sister can be a huge adjustment. Many toddlers are reluctant to give up their buggy seat, especially when they see a new baby taking over. The BuggyBoard® gives them their own spot that feels fun, unique, and just for them.
Rather than another seat, it becomes a grown-up ride they can be proud of. Standing tall, holding onto the handles, and seeing the world from a new angle makes them feel special and included. Parents often find calling it their “big kid board” transforms jealousy into excitement. What could feel like missing out quickly becomes part of the adventure.
Choosing how to get around with two young children is an important decision, but it does not always mean buying a bulky double buggy. The BuggyBoard® is a practical and space-saving solution that adapts to your family’s everyday needs. It supports your toddler’s independence, keeps them close and secure, and works with the pram you already own. Whether you are heading into town, picking up from nursery, or exploring as a family, the BuggyBoard® makes everyday outings smoother, lighter, and a lot more fun. Big adventures, little legs, one easy ride.
