For the most part, I like the PiggyBack board. One of the reasons I liked the Vista stroller is because it can accommodate 3 kids, so really that in and of itself is a huge pro (I only have 2 kids, but maybe I need more to push the stroller to it’s full potential?). Not a lot of strollers can do that. It’s perfect for my 3 year old who likes to hop on and off when we go on walks/zoo/etc. he is mature enough not to jump off while pushing, so I definitely think there is a certain age range for this. Another pro is that you can fold the stroller while the board is on and that you can easily snap it up out of the way when you are not using it.
Now for the cons, which a few people have mentioned. The biggest issue I have is that I really can’t take a full stride while the board is down. I’m 5’10” so maybe it’s a height issue? You also have to extend the handle all the way to accommodate the rider of the board, but that’s not an issue for me because it normally is anyway. Another con is that if the main stroller seat is facing out, your board rider essentially is staring at the back of a stroller seat, which my older child did not love.
My husband had the smart idea to not use the main seat at all, but put our 1 year old in the rumble seat and the three year old on the piggyback board. It has worked great! The older child can see everything, we can still use the parent organizer and the baby can obviously face each direction. Picture included.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Love it in conjunction with the Rumble Seat
