Britax Chaperone- check. Bumbleride Indie- check. Baby Jogger Glider Board- check. Do all three work together in harmony? Yes, sorta. With an infant and a 3 year old in tow? Sure does! Now why did I decide on this board instead of the Bumbleride mini board that came out in the last year? Well, without ever seeing the mini in person and based off of photos of both glider and mini online, I could assume that the glider would extend further from the stroller allowing my daughter to have more room between her belly and the stroller. This is a factor that I had to consider since I have her baby brother in his car seat which will be in the stroller. We will be riding like this until he is old enough and comfortable to be seated in the stroller itself. In the last photo you can see that the board can be folded up and attached to the stroller with its straps, however this is not ideal since you can't engage the brakes. So, this is obviously not safe. But the brakes do engage while my daughter is on the board.. which seems to matter most to me. It takes less than 5 seconds to remove the board from the axle. From reviews, I've read that one's stride is disrupted by the placement of the board. Not in my case. Perhaps its because I am not 6 feet tall with a long stride. Though, I did read one mom was 5'4'' and still had problems with the board... feet hitting the board as she pushed the stroller. I don't seem to have this problem and our board is fully extended out. Perhaps this is because we have a Bumbleride and not a Baby Jogger.... the handle length might have something to do with it.
After planning our diy wedding and enduring the most horrible morning sickness you can imagine (I was horribly sick until the 5th month of pregnancy and the nausea came back mildly, in the 3rd trimester) 2 months after our wedding, and chasing after a very active 2 year old at the time, I have finally found the time in my busy yet lazy life (as I rock our 2 month old to sleep) to post about our BJ Glider Board that arrived today:)
I have not been keeping up to date on my blog(s). Excuse the mess, the links that lead to nowhere! Frankly, I haven't blogged since before my wedding. My blogging project is a clear reflection of my craft room: unfinished projects ranging from scrapbooking, sewing, card making (I'm working on Cole's birth announcements).... scattered photographs, fabric scraps swept to one side of the room:: Complete disarray but with happy smiles and joy all around.
Happy babies :) Cole loves that his sister is this close to him.
