What Is A Buggy Board?
There are many different ways you can alter your stroller and make it your own. There are plenty of stroller accessories on the market to enhance your travel system in different ways.
A buggy board is a great addition to your stroller if you have younger children - whether you have another small child as well as a baby, or if your little one has just begun to walk.
Buggy boards come in handy for many occasions and can be a fun way for young children to travel around as a great alternative to a double pushchair.
But what exactly are buggy boards? Let's find out in today's blog post, where we will also look into:
- Everything you need to know about a buggy board
- What age is appropriate
- Factors you should consider
- How to find the best buggy board for you and your child
What Is a Buggy Board?
A buggy board is an attachable platform that can be attached to a buggy pushchair or stroller. It is mounted onto the frame of your stroller and is designed for a child to stand or sit.
Buggy boards are great for tired toddlers as they can choose when they want to stand on it at any point during their travels.
This is ideal if your toddler has just begun to walk, but gets tired easily - or, if you have a second child who can't walk yet and you don't want to use a double buggy, the older child can catch a fun ride on the buggy board!
Buggy boards are sold separately from a stroller as an additional stroller accessory. This is because not everyone will need one.
So, thanks to a buggy board and stroller, up to two children can travel comfortably and safely whilst on family outings!
What Age is a Buggy Board Suitable For?
A buggy board is suitable and recommended for children between the ages of two and five years old. However, this, of course, depends on where they are in their development.
Your child must be able to confidently stand upright without toddling over, and be capable of holding on tight whilst they travel on stood on their buggy board. They are safe for children - and as a parent, you will be right behind them pushing the stroller so the support will be there if they ever need it.
How to Use a Buggy Board
A buggy board is clipped at the back of your stroller. It is a platform that easily attaches to the back of the stroller.
When in use and with a child on board, they will be positioned inbetween the arms of whoever is pushing the stroller. This ensures that your child riding on the buggy board is extra safe. They will be able to hold on to the handlebar too to keep them on the board.
A buggy board has its own set of wheels, so once attached, it can easily glide along effortlessly with your stroller.

The Benefits of Buying a Buggy Board
There are many reasons why parents would choose and benefit from buying a buggy board:
Great Solution for Two Children
If you have two children with one being between the ages of 2 and 5 years old, and one is a baby under 2, then a buggy board is a great way to travel as a family with minimum stress.
The older child has a platform to sit or stand if they do not always wish to, or can walk independently but is too old for a double stroller.
Practical
A buggy board is practical, it can get you from A to B easily and ensure you navigate through busy crowds with ease.
It is a lightweight and practical addition to your stroller, with minimum hassle. They also do not take up much space when you are travelling with your stroller, as they can fold down to a compact size.
Safe
A buggy board could be considered a safer way for your toddler to travel. This is because they will be safe between your arms and securely stood or seated on their board.
Buggy boards offer a much more secure way of getting around, as opposed to a little, curious toddler wandering around and getting lost in a busy crowd.
Seated Option
Choose a buggy board that comes with a detachable seat, such as the one from Lejoux. This is perfect if you are not confident that your little one can remain comfortably stood up whilst you travel.
A seat is a good option for smaller children who would be more comfortable sitting than standing, due to their young age. Having a removable seat option gives you that leeway to remove it as you get older and more capable of standing for long periods.
