As parents, we all know that feeling of dread when we’re out and about with our kids and they just can’t walk anymore. They’re too tired, too sore, or just plain refuse to keep going. It can be frustrating for both you and your child, so what is the solution?
Enter buggy boards; the tantrum savior of little legs! Let’s take a look at why they’re such a great invention.
Buggy Boards Take a Load Off Literal and Figurative Legs
The first thing you should know about buggy boards is that they are not actually “boards” - instead, they are platforms that attach to strollers or buggies. Plus they can be called stroller boards, stand on boards or ride along boards, all the same thing.
This platform serves as an extra spot for your little one to stand on if their legs become tired during long days out.
And the best part? You don’t have to worry about them getting lost in a crowd since they stay attached to their ride! If you have more than one child, buggy boards can also be used as a second seat if needed (just make sure it fits securely).
A Wide Variety of Options
Not only do buggy boards come in several sizes and styles, but you also have options when it comes to maneuverability. There are rigid models with fixed wheels that stay still while you push your stroller or buggy along; however, there are also models with swiveling wheels that allow for easier turns around tight corners or narrow spaces.
No matter which one you decide to use, rest assured that your little one will be safe thanks to safety features like secure straps and handles for extra protection.
Buggy Boards Can Make Life Easier For All Ages
Buggy boards aren't just useful for toddlers - older children can benefit from them too! If your child isn't quite old enough to walk long distances but is too big for the stroller, then a buggy board may be exactly what you need.
They provide an easy way for older kids who get tired easily during trips out to rest their feet without having to carry them on their back or in their arms. Plus, most models come with adjustable height settings so they can grow with your child over time!
