I love the BabyStyle Oyster buggy board, it saves my sanity almost daily. My son was 3yr 4ms when my daughter was born, so we really didn’t need it for tired legs as he’s quite capable of walking some distance, but it is SO worth it for the ‘containment’ aspect and to be able to walk places at a sensible pace rather than preschooler pace!
These two-wheeled universal accessories fit behind the back of almost all the popular brand of strollers. These come equipped with a non-skid pad and a strap that allows you to remove the board (when not in use), without disconnecting it from the bracket attached to the stroller.
Inexpensive, yet excellent solution to carry one more kid in your single stroller. Its easy to assemble and no special tools are required.
PROS: Works with most strollers, very sturdy
CONS: Some may work only with strollers that have a rear axle
With some brands of strollers, it could make your stride but shorter but nothing very uncomfortable. The strap comes quite handy to keep it out of the way, when its not in use.
I was wondering if you have the replacement for the connectors to the cozy rider board with seat, since both mine snapped off the stroller.
