The one that attaches onto back for older children to hitch a ride? I'm debating that and a cheaper stroller or spending a little more on a Peg Pliko. We're not planning on more children and I wasn't planning on this purchase, but dh had our EXPENSIVE stroller in the back of the truck and forgot to close the tailgate and lost it in the middle of an intersection. He was able to turn around just in time to see someone loading it up and drive off with it. Oh well, now I have an excuse to buy one especially for our Disney trip, right? :teeth:
 
We have a buggy board and I LOVE it. It is attached to our Chicco umbrella stroller. I have been using for the past 3 years and my kids are 4 and 7. My 7 year old is solid, too, about 75 lbs and the Buggy Board still holds her weight pretty well, although it is getting harder turning. The only thing that may be a problem is I find that my husband kicks the board sometimes when he's pushing it, so if you are taller, that may be a concern.
 
This past summer my kids and I tagged along on DH's business trip and went to Disneyland. We stayed at a hotel (within walking distance) and everyday I headed out to the parks with my DD (4) and DS (6) on the stroller. DD sat down (MacClaren Volo) and DS stood. I loved it because I could keep track of my kids and I could also walk as fast as I wanted to. The only down side is that once the buggy board is attached, we couldn't fold the stroller (you can detach the buggy board to fold the stroller, but it's a bit cumbersome and then you need to carry the BB and then later attach it). When we drove to other parks in CA (e.g. Universal Studios), sometimes we'd leave the BB attached to the stroller and just squeeze in the rental van with the whole thing attached. Also, the BB does get in your way with walking (I'm a small adult - 4'11"), so I learned that if I want to walk fast, I would walk on the side of the stroller while pushing. As a whole, we love the BB and we're planning on bringing it on our 1st trip to WDW this summer.

One last thing, my DD weighed about 38lbs and my DS about 41lbs. I could manage both of them (and the stroller basket laden with "stuff"), however, when I came to small hills, I often told my kids to get out and walk/run until it was downhill or flat. :cool1:

P.S. My middle name is Cammie. I hardly ever see people who spell our name like this (usually it's Cami, or Kami or Kammy, or Cammy).
 

You might want to ask on the UK board. They are much more popular in the UK.
