We're looking for a buggy board and just saw this new scooter thingy on the MB website.
Linky
Has anyone seen it or used it before? Just wondering how awkward it is to push? Or if it is worth buying.
TIA

Looks cool! But also looks like it would be right in the way of where you walk?

We had a look at one in a shop. You can attach them anywhere on back - not just middle so there is room to walk. Not that I'd imagine you could get a good stride on.
Because the front wheel is fixed, steering is like a skateboard when you remove it from the buggy. We decided it wasn't for DS - not quite his skillset yet.
My solution for time being... I'm keeping our single MB (love it) for DS1 and putting the newbie in a Moby.

It really has flown by, High9! Only a few more weeks, can't wait 
Thanks JessDub, I didn't realise the front wheel was locked in place, probably not the best for my DD either. I have a Moby too, so will have to master using it with a NB

I loved the look, but this baby turned up earlier than I thought it would - there's no way Jacob's going to be old enough to use one when we need him to. They do look good for an older kid, though.

My mum has seen one in action and decided she will buy one for me hehe  Hope it isn't as awkward to use while walking as it looks!
