We're looking for a buggy board and just saw this new scooter thingy on the MB website.
http://mountainbuggy.com/en/free-rider-buggy-board-and-scooter#_gallery - Linky Has anyone seen it or used it before? Just wondering how awkward it is to push? Or if it is worth buying. TIA  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Looks cool! But also looks like it would be right in the way of where you walk? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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!------------- http://lilypie.com">
