If you have more than 1 kid, I am sure you are deciding whether to get a wheeled board. I have seen some families with it and it seemed to work very well for them. Now that I have one myself, I think I can be better able to give advise on whether you should invest in one.
The consideration of the "mode of transport" would be (i) twin strollers, (ii) carrier and stroller combi, (iii) 2 separate strollers, (iv) a wagon, and (v) the wheeled board. I would say that all options are non-exclusive but you really do need to take into consideration where the family using hangs out and do you all take public transport/ taxi or cars most of the time. I have tried options ii) and v). In fact, I started with ii) and now we are pretty happy with v).
- Compatibility: Like many mothers, I have sunk in too deeply on my big-ticket items. So compatibility is really important to me because you can't really expect me to change all my items just to try something out. Our Hamilton Wheeled Board works very well (with some minor tweaks) with our current stroller even though they are not the same brand.
- Ease of use: This seat was quite easy to fix. It is made of a few parts but generally after the first fix, we only need to remove the wheeled board and take out the seat so that the toddler has the option to either stand or sit. He chooses to sit most of the time.
- Can it fit into a car boot? This is such an important consideration! I have said bye to some options like the wagons/ twin strollers because some brands just can't fit into the car boot along my other transport items. So what we do is we will take away the seat and flatten the wheeled board along with the stroller. It has went out with us so many times...even on a photoshoot!
- Price: It is not the cheapest at S$119 before any discount. But wait for the sales season or Baby's Fair so that you can get a better bang for your bucks. Also, I recommend to try it out first before purchasing, just to ensure compatibility with your stroller...and your kid!
- Make sure your kid likes it! This is really important because if the child hates it, this is going to be a white elephant...until the next child comes and you can have another go. But most Singaporean married couples only have 1-2 kids LOL! We were so pleased that our toddler loves this so much because it makes life so much easier and it is always great to have options!
